Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, remember the Naam of the One in every moment.
The Perfect Guru has given me the gift of the Naam of the One. Now the Naam lives in my mind and in my body.
Keep the Naam close in every moment, and it comes to live in your mind and your body.
This is the rahao, the pause line, the center of the shabad. mayray man bhaj raam naam har nimkhafaa — O my mind, remember the Naam every nimkh, every blink of an eye. This is naam simran, keeping the Naam in mind, woven right into ordinary moments.
har har daan dee-o gur poorai — the Perfect Guru gave me this gift. har naamaa man tan basfaa — now the Naam lives in my man and tan, my mind and my body.
Think of your heartbeat. You don't have to remember to make it happen. It just keeps going under everything else. The Naam becomes like that: something that stays.
What is something good you'd like to keep close in every moment of your day?
