ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਬੋਲਹੁ ॥
raam naam gur bachnee bolhu.
Speak the Guru's Word, and the Name of the Lord.
ਸੰਤ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਇਹੁ ਰਸੁ ਟੋਲਹੁ ॥
sant sabhaa meh ih ras tolahu.
In the Society of the Saints, search for this essence.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਖੋਜਿ ਲਹਹੁ ਘਰੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਗਰਭ ਮਝਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੪॥
gurmat khoj lahhu ghar apnaa bahurh na garabh majhaaraa hay. ||4||
Follow the Guru's Teachings - seek and find the home of your own self, and you shall never be consigned to the womb of reincarnation again. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Speak the Guru's Word, and the Naam.
In the Sangat, search for this sweet essence.
Follow the Guru's teaching home to your own self, and the restless circling of birth after birth comes to rest.
The Sangat helps you find the sweet essence and finally come to rest.
Sant sabhaa — the Sangat — is where this essence (ras) is sought. Finding one's own ghar (home) through gurmat, the Guru's teaching, ends the circling through the womb again and again.
The Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — makes the search easier, because no one searches alone.
