O Nanak, dwell upon the Naam; the Lord is infinite, virtuous and unfathomable, O Siblings of Destiny. ||8||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you hold the Name close, a deep calm settles into your whole self — body and mind at rest.
So keep the Name near, always: the One is boundless, full of every goodness, deeper than we can measure.
Hold the Name close and a deep calm settles through you.
naam samaaleh sukh vaseh — cherishing the Naam brings a settled, bodily peace. aprampar gunee gaheer — infinite (aprampar), full of virtues (gunee), unfathomably deep (gaheer). The Nanak closing line is honored.
