One Friend, One Family

ਨਾਮੁ ਇਕ ਰਸ ਰੰਗ ਨਾਮਾ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਾਗੀ ਲੀਉ ॥
naam ik ras rang naamaa naam laagee lee-o.
Savor the essence of the One and only Naam; love the Naam, focus and attune yourself to the Naam.
ਮੀਤੁ ਸਾਜਨੁ ਸਖਾ ਬੰਧਪੁ ਹਰਿ ਏਕੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੀਉ ॥੨॥੫॥੨੮॥
meet saajan sakhaa banDhap har ayk naanak kee-o. ||2||5||28||
Nanak has made the One Lord his only friend, companion and relative. ||2||5||28||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Taste the one true sweetness of the Name and let yourself be soaked in it.

Nanak says: I have made the One my friend, my companion, my family — all in one.

The One can be your friend, companion, and family all at once.
The deeper layer

The One can be friend, companion and family together — the single true Friend who is everything at once (an echo of Jaitsree's One True Friend).

A Question to Sit With

Who feels like more than one thing to you all at once?
