O! My mind, utter the Charmer-Divine’s Nam for liberation.
Millions upon millions of transgressions totally eliminated,
All-Pervasive enables world-ocean crossing. 1. Reflect.
All-Pervasive Divine abides in the body-town,
All-Pervasive is fear-less, foe-less, form-less.
All-Pervasive wasn’t visible though dwelling nearby,
All-Pervasive is discovered through Guru-reflection. 1.
All-Pervasive Self is the lender, appraiser, jewel, diamond.
All-Pervasive Self created the expanse.
Nanak: Graced one buys All-Pervasive Nam,
That one is the eternal lender and trader. 2.
We are finite; our understanding is finite. Our understanding was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad. In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord.
