Nat, Fourth Mehl:
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨੇ ॥
mayray man jap har har naam manay.
O my mind, believe in and chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
ਜਗੰਨਾਥਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਧਾਰੀ ਮਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਨਾਮ ਬਨੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jagannaath kirpaa parabh Dhaaree mat gurmat naam banay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
God, the Master of the Universe, has showered His Mercy upon me, and through the Guru's Teachings, my intellect has been molded by the Naam. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Trust and keep the beautiful Name in your heart, O my mind.
When kindness reached me, wise teaching shaped my thinking toward the good.
Keeping the good in mind slowly shapes the way you think.
The rahao: "believe in and chant the Name... my intellect has been molded by the Naam." A lovely idea — remembrance slowly shapes how we think, like a potter shaping clay, tilting the mind toward the good. For a child: keeping the good in mind slowly shapes the way you think.
A Question to Sit With
How might the things you think about most shape the kind of person you become?
