ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਇ ਸੋ ਪਾਏ ॥
jis no naam day-ay so paa-ay.
He alone obtains the Naam, unto whom the Lord gives it.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥
gur kai sabad har man vasaa-ay.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind.
ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥
gur kirpaa tay naam vasi-aa ghat antar naamo naam Dhi-aa-idaa. ||12||
By Guru's Grace, the Naam dwells deep within the heart, and one meditates upon the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam comes to the one it is given to. Through the Guru's Word, the One settles into the mind.
By the Guru's grace it takes root deep in the heart, and there I keep the One in mind, always.
The Name is a gift that takes root once it is placed in the heart.
Naam as gift again: jis no day-ay so paa-ay. Grace plants it in the heart through the Shabad. The whole movement is receiving and keeping, not striving and grabbing.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing has taken root in you that you did not plant yourself?
