Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam of the One is a pure light, sweet as nectar.
Drinking it in, a person lives forever and stops grabbing for more.
Body and mind grow cool and calm, and the fire inside is put out.
Such a person becomes joy itself, known all over the world.
The Name cools the fire inside us and leaves joy in its place.
Nirmal jot amrit har naam — the Name of the One is a pure light, sweet as amrit, nectar. Drinking it in, a person becomes nihkaam, free of grabby wanting.
Tan man seetal agan nivaaree — body and mind grow cool, and the fire is put out. The fire here is the anger and craving that burn inside us. Think of how you feel after a big argument, when someone hands you a cold glass of water and a hug. The heat goes out of you.
Such a person becomes anad roop, joy in human shape. People everywhere can see it.
What cools you down when you're heated up or upset?
