Nanak chants His Glorious Praises in the Saadh Sangat, in the Sanctuary of the Perfect Transcendent Lord God. ||59||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When the Lord of the Universe is kind, every illness is cured.

Nanak says: in the Sangat, I sing the One's praises, in the shelter of the perfect Supreme One.

When the One is kind, every illness heals.
The deeper layer

When the One is kind, every sickness heals, including the ones inside.

Kirpaa karant gobind gopaalah: when the Lord of the Universe shows kindness, sagal-ya rog khandnah, all illnesses are broken. The illnesses include the inner ones named in the saloks before this: clinging, desire, anger, greed and ego.

The healing is a gift. It comes while singing the One's praise in the Sangat, in the One's shelter. It cannot be forced, and it comes in its own time.

A Question to Sit With

Is there a hurt in you that a bandage cannot fix? What kind of company might help it heal over time?
