ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਮੋਦਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰੇ ॥
gurmat naam damodar paa-i-aa har har naam ur Dhaaray.
Following the Guru's Teachings, I have been blessed with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I have enshrined within my heart the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਾ ਬਨੀ ਅਤਿ ਮੀਠੀ ਜਿਉ ਗੂੰਗਾ ਗਟਕ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥੪॥
har har kathaa banee at meethee ji-o goongaa gatak samHaaray. ||4||
The sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, is so very sweet; like the mute, I taste its sweetness, but I cannot describe it at all. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I keep the good in my heart, and it's so sweet.
It's like tasting something wonderful but having no words for it — like a person who can't speak, smiling at the sweetness.
The best things are sometimes too wonderful for words — you can only taste them and smile.
A tender image of wordless joy: "the sermon is so very sweet; like the mute, I taste its sweetness, but I cannot describe it." The deepest good is like a taste too sweet for words — you can only smile at it, like someone who can't speak enjoying honey. For a child: the best things are sometimes too wonderful for words — you can only taste them and smile.
A Question to Sit With
What's something so good you couldn't find words for it?
