ਕਹਤ ਮੁਕਤ ਸੁਨਤੇ ਨਿਸਤਾਰੇ ਜੋ ਜੋ ਸਰਨਿ ਪਇਓ ॥
kahat mukat suntay nistaaray jo jo saran pa-i-o.
Whoever chants His Name is liberated; whoever listens to it is saved, as is anyone who seeks His Sanctuary.
ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਅਨਦੁ ਭਇਓ ॥੨॥੪॥੫॥
simar simar su-aamee parabh apunaa kaho naanak anad bha-i-o. ||2||4||5||
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God the Lord and Master, says Nanak, I am in ecstasy! ||2||4||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever keeps the good in mind, listens for it, or comes to it for shelter is set free.
Remembering it again and again, my heart is full of joy!
There are many simple ways in — saying the good, listening for it, or coming for shelter — and any is enough.
The shabad closes on the wide-open door: "whoever chants His Name is liberated; whoever listens to it is saved, as is anyone who seeks His Sanctuary." Three simple ways in — say it, hear it, or come to it for shelter — and any of them is enough. "Meditating, I am in ecstasy!" The colophon (||2||4||5||) closes. For a child: there are many simple ways in — saying the good, listening for it, or coming to it for shelter — and any of them is enough.
