Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Drink deep of the sweetness of the One, dear friends — sing the Name, hold the Name, rest in the teaching.
My one prayer is simple: let me stay soaked in that sweetness, loving and absorbed, all my days.
The deepest prayer is simply to stay close to what you love.
har ras peevhu — drink the sublime essence; naam japahu naamo aaraadhahu — remember and adore the Name. The Rahau opens the pauri, followed by the closing verse. dhur likhiaa is rendered gently as the gift meant for you; naam rahaa liv laa-ee — remain lovingly absorbed. Nanak's whole prayer is to abide in the Name.
A Question to Sit With
What is one thing you love enough to want to stay close to it every day?
