Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਨਾਮਹੀਨ ਮਤਿ ਥੋਰੀ ॥
har kay naamheen mat thoree.
Without the Name of the Lord, his intellect is shallow.
ਸਿਮਰਤ ਨਾਹਿ ਸਿਰੀਧਰ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਮਿਲਤ ਅੰਧ ਦੁਖ ਘੋਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
simrat naahi sireeDhar thaakur milat anDh dukh ghoree. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He does not meditate in remembrance on the Lord, his Lord and Master; the blind fool suffers in terrible agony. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the Naam, a person's understanding stays shallow.
Whoever does not remember the One, the Master of all, walks blind in the dark and suffers deeply.
Understanding grows deep when it is rooted in the Naam.
har kay naamheen mat thoree: without the Naam, understanding stays thoree, shallow, like a puddle that never runs deep. andh means blind: walking without light, bumping into things, and hurting. moorakh, fool, is someone who has lost the way and can find it again.
A Question to Sit With
When has a little more light or understanding kept you from stumbling?
