ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
saarag mehlaa 5.
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਕੀ ਮਤਿ ਸਾਰ ॥
har kay naam kee mat saar.
The intellect of one who dwells on the Name of the Lord is excellent.
ਹਰਿ ਬਿਸਾਰਿ ਜੁ ਆਨ ਰਾਚਹਿ ਮਿਥਨ ਸਭ ਬਿਸਥਾਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har bisaar jo aan raacheh mithan sabh bisthaar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
One who forgets the Lord and becomes involved with some other - all his showy pretensions are false. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The mind that holds the Naam of the One is clear and rich.
Whoever forgets the One and gets caught up in something else — all that showy display is hollow.
What you rest your worth on decides whether it holds.
A mind that dwells on the Name is rich and clear (mat saar); a life that forgets the One and pins its worth on other things is a hollow, showy expanse (mithan bisthaar). What you rest your worth on decides whether it holds.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you get your sense of being worth something?
