Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name gives a kind of life that does not wear out.
When I hold it, my mind and body feel clean and clear — and I understand that this is what being alive was really for.
This one means the Name gives a life that does not wear out.
jeevan padvee har kaa naa-o — the Name of the One is jeevan padvee, the rank of real life. It is the kind of life that lasts.
man tan nirmal saach su-aa-o — mind and body become nirmal, spotless and clear. That is the saach su-aa-o, the true aim of life.
So the verse quietly gives success a new meaning. Think of a phone packed with apps you never open. It is full, but it is not useful. Success is a clear heart, more than a full shelf. That is what we were made for.
What do you think you are really here to do?
