ਗੁਰ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਨਾਉ ਪਾਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਲੈ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥
gur du-aarai naa-o paa-ee-ai bin satgur palai na paa-ay.
Through the Guru's Gate, the Gurdwara, the Name is obtained. Without the True Guru, it is not received.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੩॥
satgur kai bhaanai man vasai taa ahinis rahai liv laa-ay. ||3||
Through the Pleasure of the True Guru's Will, the Name comes to dwell in the mind, and then, night and day, one remains lovingly absorbed in the Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam is a gift you find at the Guru's door. Without the Guru, it does not come into your hands.
When, by the Guru's will, it settles into the heart, day and night you stay gently absorbed, the way you stay warm near a fire.
The Naam is a gift found at the Guru's door, and it warms the heart that holds it.
Gur du-aarai naa-o paa-ee-ai — the Naam is received at the Guru's door (the gurdwara, literally the Guru's doorway). When it comes to man vasai, dwell in the mind, through bhaanai, glad alignment with the Guru's will, one remains ahinis... liv laa-ay, lovingly absorbed night and day. The Naam is a gift you receive.
