Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind — chant the Naam, chant the Naam, chant the Naam.
Night and day, with every breath and morsel of food, take the Support of the Name of the Lord.
Every breath. Every meal. Every night and day. That is the frequency.
The rahao is insistent in its repetition — Naam jap, Naam jap, Naam jap — three times. The triple repetition is both devotional emphasis and a teaching: the mind needs repetition to absorb. The teaching is given once; for the mind to receive it takes many repetitions.
Sas giras (with every breath and every morsel) — the frequency of Naam-practice matches the frequency of breathing and eating. These are the non-negotiable continuities of biological life. The Naam is meant to be that continuous.
If you were to practice something with the same continuity as breathing — not intensely, just continuously present in the background — what would you want it to be?
