ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੋ ਦੇਇ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇ ॥
gur gi-aan padaarath naam hai har naamo day-ay drirh-aa-ay.
The wisdom of the Guru is the treasure of the Naam. The Guru implants and enshrines the Lord's Name.
ਜਿਸੁ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਸੋ ਲਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਾਗੈ ਆਇ ॥੧੦॥
jis paraapat so lahai gur charnee laagai aa-ay. ||10||
He alone receives it, he alone gets it, who comes and falls at the Guru's Feet. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The real treasure the teaching carries is the Name, and it plants that Name firmly inside me, so it takes root and stays.
Whoever is ready for it receives it — the one who comes humbly and rests at the teaching's feet. It's always there for the heart that turns toward it.
Wisdom that's planted firmly takes root and stays.
gur gi-aan padaarath naam hai, har naamo day-ay drirh-aa-ay — the teaching's wisdom (gi-aan) is the treasure of the Name, planted firmly (drirh) within; jis paraapat so lahai — whoever is ready receives it. The gift takes root in the heart that turns toward it.
