SGGS Angg 404.

Raag Assa M.5

A Sikh sings in gratitude about the Kindly Guru who blessed him to receive a stream flow of Nectar (Naam).

My Love, the flow of Nectar (Naam), the Guru did not hold it back from me even for an instant.

“Hamari pyari amrit dhari Gur nimakh na mann te taree re.”

Beholding it, and touching it, I feel enraptured and delighted. It is drenched with the Creator’s Love.

“Darshan parsan sarsan harsan rang rangi Kartari re.”

Chanting it even for a moment, I get attached to the Guru, each moment one is saved from the messenger of death. Nanak says, the Lord has placed (His Name as a garland in my neck i.e. I continuously recite Naam) and His Name is enshrined in my heart.

“Khin ramm, Gur gham, Har damm, neh jamm, Har kanth Nanak urh haree re.”

Below is another commentary on the same Shabad by Bhai Manjeet Singh Ji:

A Sikh sings Praises of Bani/Naam.

Bani is lovely (hamari Pyari), it brings forth Springs of Eternal Bliss (Amrit Dhari). The Guru did not hold it back from me, even for an instant. (Gur nimakh na mann te tari re).

Beholding Bani, and touching it in my mind – Darshan Parsan (as I read, or churn its Divine Wisdom in my mind),

It brings a sweet delight to my mind (sarsan harsan), and wells up love for the Creator in me (rang rangi Kartari re).

Bani is so wonderful that reciting it even for a moment, (khin ramm), I get attached to my Guru (Shabad Guru) – Gur gamm. No jaam (misery or death), can ever touch me now (har damm neh jamm). I lovingly wear Bani as a Divine Garland around my neck (Har kanth Nanak urh dhari re), i.e. I decorate myself with His Gunn, His Naam.
