Such is the NAAM (identity) without blemish (pure).

Only if mind accepts it and is imbued with the NAAM.

Constant awareness of the Divine Name (NAAM) awakens the mind to Divine wisdom.

Enshrining the Divine Name within the mind brings awareness of all the realms.

By enshrining the Divine Name within the mind, one does not face disgrace or rejection.

This means that when you live in alignment with the Divine Will (Hukam), actions no longer create karmic bonds because you are simply operating within that Will. Therefore, He Himself is the doer of every action, and no blame or guilt attaches to you.

Meditating upon the Name wards off the terrors of judgement after death.
Accepting the Command(er), one does not have to go along birth (is broken from the cycle of birth and subsequent death).

Such is the NAAM (identity) without blemish (pure).

Only if mind accepts it and is imbued with the NAAM.

No one can block the path (to liberation) of one who contemplates the Divine Name.

A mortal connected to the Divine Name departs after earning honor and renown.

One who follows the path of the One Divine Name does not wander down different tracks.

Or

The One path provides clear directions, and no more illusions remain.

A person tuned into the Divine Name connects with the true purpose of life.

ਧਰਮ (faith/religion) means to function in life in tune with the Will.

Such is the NAAM (identity) without blemish (pure).

Only if mind accepts it and is imbued with the NAAM.

Attuned to the Divine Name, the final portal to merge back with the eternal opens.

One who contemplates the Divine Name (Naam), redeems and uplifts their family and connections through it.

A Gursikh attuned to the Divine Word is freed from the web of Maya by the Eternal Truth.
By accepting the Command(er), one floats and swims (does not sink in the Matrix), and reaches across to stable shores through the (Sat)Gur (Exposed Truth) for the seeker.

O Nanak! Those who accept the Divine Will never wander as beggars.
By accepting the Command(er), Nanak, no more wandering for fulfillment.

Meaning, by aligning with the Will (Hukam), one is liberated from the countless illusions of Maya.

Such is the NAAM (identity) without blemish (pure).

Only if mind accepts it and is imbued with the NAAM.

Only the chosen ones are accepted, and only the chosen ones become leaders.

Meaning: Only the chosen Gurmukh are accepted within the Command, and it is these accepted ones who lead the way in connecting others to the Satnaam (Primal Truth).

The chosen Gurmukh receive honor in the Divine court.

The chosen Gurmukh shine with splendor in the Divine court.

The focus of the chosen Gurmukh is forever fixed on the eternal Truth.

If anyone attempts to express and contemplate.

There is no calculation or end to the creation and wondrous plays of the One.

The (real) bull is righteousness, which is born out of compassion.

That (righteousness) which has established contentment and bound everything in divine order.

If one, through the Master's grace, awakens to the Divine Will, they become an enlightened Gurmukh.

How monumental would the burden be upon that mythical bull!

Note: In Hindu mythology, it is traditionally believed that the Earth is supported upon the horns of a bull.

Beyond this earth lie endless other earths, stretching further and further into the infinite.

Meaning: If this earth is lifted on a bull's horns, and that bull stands on an earth below it—which in turn is carried by another bull—then what platform supports the final bull at the bottom?

Beneath the immense weight (of all those earths), what ultimate support is at work to keep everything sustained in place?

Throughout creation, there is an immense diversity of living beings, spanning countless classifications, hues, and descriptions.

The account of everthing is inscribed by the ever-flowing pen of the Divine.
