Verse 2 of 3

Drink the Nectar

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਨਾਮੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਉ ॥
mayray man naam amrit pee-o.
O my mind, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
ਆਨ ਸਾਦ ਬਿਸਾਰਿ ਹੋਛੇ ਅਮਰੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਜੀਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
aan saad bisaar hochhay amar jug jug jee-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Abandon other bland, insipid tastes; become immortal, and live throughout the ages. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O my mind, drink the Naam, the sweet nectar.

Forget the other thin, empty tastes, and live on and on, through every age.

Drink deeply of the Name and come fully alive.
The deeper layer

The rahao: drink the Name's amrit (nectar); set aside thin, unsatisfying tastes and come alive with a life that does not run out.

A Question to Sit With

What makes you feel most fully alive?
