ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਜਪੀ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੀ ॥੧੦॥
har jee-o japee har jee-o saalaahee vichahu aap nivaaree. ||10||
I chant the Lord's Name, and praise my Dear Lord; egotism is eradicated from within me. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I chant the Name and I praise the Dear One.
And the puffed-up self is cleared out from inside me.
Filling the heart with the Name leaves the ego less room to grow.
Japee... saalaahee... vichahu aap nivaaree — chanting and praising, the aap (self-conceit) is removed from within. Remembrance is not shown here as duty but as a natural cure: fill the heart with the Name and the crowded ego has nowhere left to stand.
