ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਪੁ ਜਪਲਾ ॥
har har jaap japlaa.
Chant the Chant of the Lord's Name, Har, Har.
ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਵਾਸੈ ਭਉਜਲੁ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਰਲਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gur kirpaa tay hirdai vaasai bha-ojal paar parlaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
By Guru's Grace, it shall be enshrined within your heart, and you shall cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Chant the Name of the One, *Har, Har*, again and again.
By the Guru's grace it comes to live in your heart, and you cross the wide and stormy sea of the world.
Held close, the Name carries you across the roughest water.
The Naam, held close by gur kirpaa tay (the Guru's grace), settles into the heart. Bhaojal is the world pictured as a huge ocean, too wide to cross alone. Living in the heart, the Naam carries you to the other side.
A Question to Sit With
What helps you get through a stretch of life that feels like rough water?
