The ego is polluted by a filth which can never be washed off.
The Name of the Lord erases millions of sins.
Chant such a Name with love, O my mind.
O Nanak, it is obtained in the Company of the Holy. ||3||
On that path where the miles cannot be counted,
there, the Name of the Lord shall be your sustenance.
On that journey of total, pitch-black darkness,
the Name of the Lord shall be the Light with you.
On that journey where no one knows you,
with the Name of the Lord, you shall be recognized.
Where there is awesome and terrible heat and blazing sunshine,
there, the Name of the Lord will give you shade.
Where thirst, O my mind, torments you to cry out,
there, O Nanak, the Ambrosial Name, Har, Har, shall rain down upon you. ||4||
Unto the devotee, the Naam is an article of daily use.
The minds of the humble Saints are at peace.
The Name of the Lord is the Support of His servants.
By the Name of the Lord, millions have been saved.
The Saints chant the Praises of the Lord, day and night.
Har, Har - the Lord's Name - the Holy use it as their healing medicine.
