Jin vadiaiyee Tere Naam ki te ratey mann mahe – Raag Sarangh – Ang 1238

SGGS Angg 1238

Raag Sarangh M.2

Guru Angad Dev Ji tells us about Amrit Naam.

Those who are blessed with the Glory of Your Name (Attributes), their minds are coloured with Your Love.

“Jin vadiaiyee Tere Naam ki te ratey mann mahe.”

Nanak says, there is only One Ambrosial Nectar, there is no other nectar at all.
(the above is a literal translation. “Amrit Ek hai” means only the Name of the One Lord (His Name is the Lord, Himself – “Vah Vah Bani Nirankar hai Tis jevad na koyee.” (Ang 515); “dujja” is used to contrast with Ek. Dujja can mean “no other,” but here it means maya. Anything of maya, cannot ever be Amrit).

“Nanak Amrit Ek hai dujja Amrit nahe.”

Nanak says this Amrit (Naam) is obtained within the mind, by the Guru’s Grace.

“Nanak Amrit manne mahe paaiyeh Gur Parsad.”

They alone drink it with love, upon whom such destiny has been Written by the Primal Source (God Himself, i.e. such person has done “mashukatt ghaal”).

“Tinni peeta rang seyo jinn ko likhiya aad.
