ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਗਣ ਗੰਧਰਬੇ ਜਪਿਓ ਰਿਖਿ ਬਪੁਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਇਆ ॥
sur nar gan ganDharbay japi-o rikh bapurai har gaa-i-aa.
Angels, men, heavenly heralds and celestial singers meditate on Him; even the humble Rishis sing of the Lord.
ਸੰਕਰਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੈ ਦੇਵੀ ਜਪਿਓ ਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਿਆ ॥
sankar barahmai dayvee japi-o mukh har har naam japi-aa.
Shiva, Brahma and the goddess Lakhshmi, meditate, and chant with their mouths the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਜਿਨਾ ਮਨੁ ਭੀਨਾ ਤੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੨॥
har har naam jinaa man bheenaa tay gurmukh paar pa-i-aa. ||2||
Those whose minds are drenched with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, as Gurmukh, cross over. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Bright beings, wise ones, and singers of every world turn toward the One.
Whoever's mind is soaked in the Name crosses over.
When the heart is soaked in the Name, it floats.
Shiva, Brahma, Lakshmi, the heavenly singers and the rishis all sing the Naam: figures from other traditions, named with respect, all pointing at the one reality. The mind "drenched" in the Naam floats free.
A Question to Sit With
