Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru's teaching, the true Word, is the very best.
Keep the Naam of the One held close in your heart.
The Name kept in the heart is a treasure that goes everywhere with us.
Gurmat saachee sabad hai saar: the Guru's teaching, the true Word, is saar, the very best. Har kaa naam rakhai ur Dhaar: keep the One's Name held in your heart.
Think of a small photo of someone you love, tucked in a wallet. You carry it everywhere, and it makes you feel less alone. The Name is like that, only deeper.
This is the warm center of a shabad full of warnings. It is the one thing worth carrying through everything.
What is something precious you like to keep close, wherever you go?
