Absolute meaning of 'Nanak' in japji sahib teeka by sant gyani gurbachan singh khalsa bhindranwale pdf page- 186                                                                

Here are translations, note its not exact word by word but i have tried very best to provide essence meaning, please forgive me if there any mistakes mere mortals can only try so much:

Nanak Padh daie Arth (Meaning of Nanak term)

1. Nanak is free from counting/numbers/types. Nanak is free from duality, that which is non dual is Nanak

 

  Jot roop har aap Guru nanak kahaieo || 

 

Vahiguru Jot roop which is awakened light/knowledge is Guru nanak

 

2. Just like how everything in this world has two sides, two positions, two- duality but nanak(non duality) is opposite of ank (duality)

 

3. Anek term deonates Dulta  0 always moving/changing not constant 

Nanak is which is free from duality, is ek ras (constant/permanent), free from counting/numbers

 

4. Na (means purakh - complete supreme being) An (free) AK (means dukh- sorrow) - complete supreme being which is sat(eternal) chit (pure consciousness/knowledge) anand (bliss) which is free from sarrow/sadness/misery that saroop(formless form) is real/absolute complete truth form, that formless form satguru nanak manifested itself to save bhagats (devotee).

 

5. Na (Non) that which is all pervading in all. Alaf (which is ek ras - constant), non ( that which provides absolute nihal-hapiness to all) kaf (kanaet) that which gives complete contentment/grace to all is nanak

 

This meaning came from bhai nand lal ji - Tosifo Sanah

 

6. N (purak- complete being) An + ak - free from sadness/suffering. That (Ak) which is free from sadness/suffering (An) paremshvar is nanak.

 

7. (Noun) that which gives good attributes, that Alaf (ala roop (noun) gives nauyemat/graceful/contentment is Nanak.
