ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਜਗੁ ਰੋਗਿ ਬਿਆਪਿਆ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਡੁਬਿ ਡੁਬਿ ਮਰੀਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Naam Binaa Jag Rog Biaapiaa Dhubidhhaa Ddub Ddub Mareeai ||1|| Rehaao ||

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is entangled in the disease of duality, and is drowned, drowned, and dies.

ਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਵਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਵਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਸੋਝੀ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ॥

Gur Dhaevaa Gur Alakh Abhaevaa Thribhavan Sojhee Gur Kee Saevaa ||

The Guru is Divine; the Guru is Inscrutable and Mysterious. Serving the Guru, the three worlds are known and understood.

ਆਪੇ ਦਾਤਿ ਕਰੀ ਗੁਰਿ ਦਾਤੈ ਪਾਇਆ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਵਾ ॥੨॥

Aapae Dhaath Karee Gur Dhaathai Paaeiaa Alakh Abhaevaa ||2||

The Guru, the Giver, has Himself given me the Gift; I have obtained the Inscrutable, Mysterious Lord.

Sree Guru Nanak Dev Maharaj

"When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve."
- Napoleon Hill

*Note: in our case, this is how we should want to have Him and His darshan. The price to pay for that is, to love, love and only love Him, through His bhakti.

ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਮੈਲਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਪਤਿ ਖੋਈ ॥੨॥

Naam Binaa Sabh Jag Hai Mailaa Dhoojai Bharam Path Khoee ||2||

Without the Name, the whole world is polluted; wandering in duality, it loses its honor. ||2||

ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਅਨਾਥੁ ਅਜੋਨੀ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਨਿਆ ॥

Agam Agochar Anaathh Ajonee Guramath Eaeko Jaaniaa ||

God is Inaccessible and Unfathomable, Unmastered and Unborn; through the Guru's Teachings, I know the One Lord.

"Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose."

- Eknath Easwaran

Note: in a way, this is the secret to realize Him, by meditating upon Him Waheguru  alone, with full directed attention.

"Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly."

- Epictetus

*Note: If we pay close attention to these words above, and look it from a sikhee point of view, it can very well mean to us, that our true origin or nature is from Nam/Shabad, so it is our duty to cast off all impurities on our soul with His grace and bhakti, and become whole in Him, as He Himself is.

SSA

I have no other than the Guru.

"It is not only for what we do, that we are held responsible, but also as well as for what we do not do."

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?"

Buddha

ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਸਦਾ ਨਮਸਕਾਰਉ ॥੧॥

Gur Paarabreham Sadhaa Namasakaaro ||1||

Bow in humility forever before the Guru, the Supreme Lord God. ||1||

ਸਾਜਨੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਪੂਰਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਾ ਰਾਮ ॥

Saajan Purakh Sathigur Maeraa Pooraa This Bin Avar N Jaanaa Raam ||

My Perfect True Guru is my Best Friend, the Primal Being. I do not know any other Lord than Him.

*Note: This is the kind of true love and faith a sikh should have for Guru Jee, thus discarding anything else.

ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਬੂਝ ਬੁਝਾਈ ॥

Bin Naavai Naal N Chalee Sathigur Boojh Bujhaaee ||

Without the Name, nothing goes along with you; the True Guru has imparted this understanding.
