One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਜੇ ਵਡ ਭਾਗ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈ ॥
jay vad bhaag hoveh vadbhaagee taa har har naam Dhi-aavai.
If someone is very fortunate, and is blessed with great high destiny, then he meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਨਾਮੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੇ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ॥੧॥
naam japat naamay sukh paavai har naamay naam samaavai. ||1||
Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he finds peace, and merges in the Naam. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
If someone is blessed with great good fortune, they meditate on the Naam of the One.
Chanting the Naam, they find peace in the Naam.
And they melt right into the Naam, like a drop settling back into the sea.
The luckiest turn a heart can make is toward the Name.
Vad bhaag is great fortune or destiny — grace that is received, not a prize that is earned. Naamay samaavai means merging in the Name. Keeping the Name (japat) is something warm and homeward, not a chore.
A Question to Sit With
What is something good that came into your life that you did not earn?
