Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One doesn't sit there weighing up the good marks and bad marks of the people it takes as its own.
Just hearing, saying, and holding that jewel of a Name, I come alive — Nanak wears the One like a necklace, close against the heart.
The tender close of the Mehl 5 block, and one of its most freeing lines: "The Supreme Lord God does not consider the merits and demerits of those humble beings whom He makes His own." Once you're taken as the One's own, the ledger is closed — grace stops grading. This is unconditional belonging: you are not on probation, not being scored, not one bad mark from being cast out. And the final image is intimate — wearing the Name "as his necklace," carried right at the throat and heart, close and constant. The vast One becomes as near as a necklace against the skin.
What's the difference between being constantly judged and simply being loved? Which helps you grow more?
