Verse 20 of 22

The Heart That Meets the Guru

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੈ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਸੀਝੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਾਈ ॥੧੯॥
satgur bhaytai so jan seejhai jis hirdai naam vasaa-ee. ||19||
That humble being who meets with the True Guru is fulfilled; the Naam abides in his heart. ||19||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The humble one who meets the True Guru is fulfilled.

The Naam comes to live in that heart.

Meeting the True Guru, the heart is fulfilled and the Naam settles in.
The deeper layer

Satgur bhaytai so jan seejhai — meeting the teacher, one is fulfilled; hirdai naam vasaaee — the Name dwells in the heart. Meeting is not a single event but a settling-in.

A Question to Sit With

What has helped you feel more whole, not more scattered?
