ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥
naanak say vadbhaagee jin har naam Dhi-aa-i-aa.
O Nanak, very fortunate are those who meditate on the Name of the Lord.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਆ ॥੪॥੮॥
gur parsaadee man vasaa-i-aa. ||4||8||
By Guru's Grace, they enshrine the Name within their minds. ||4||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Lucky are the hearts that keep the beautiful Name in mind.
With a little grace and wisdom, they hold it close inside.
It's a happy kind of luck to have something good and true to keep close in your heart.
The shabad closes warmly: "very fortunate are those who meditate on the Name... by Guru's Grace they enshrine the Name within." Not a threat but a blessing — how lucky to have a good, true thing to keep close. For a child: it's a happy kind of luck to have something good to hold in your heart.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing are you lucky to be able to keep in your heart?
