Those who are intoxicated and absorbed in the Lord's Lotus Feet are saved from the terrifying world-ocean.

anayk paatik harnaN naanak saaDh sangam na sansyah. ||67||4||
Countless sins are destroyed, O Nanak, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; there is no doubt about this. ||67||4||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Those who are lost in love of the One's feet are saved from the terrifying world-ocean.

Nanak says: countless wrongs are taken away in the Sangat — there is no doubt about this.

Lose yourself in love of the One, and you are carried across.
The deeper layer

Those who give their heart to the One are carried across, and in the Sangat countless wrongs are washed away.

Those who are happily lost in love of the One are carried across the scary ocean of life. Many heavy mistakes are taken away in the Sangat. Na sansyah — there is no doubt about it.

Think of the end of a long car trip at night. You wake up, and you are home. You did not steer. You were carried.

After many saloks about life passing, inner pulls, and grace, Salok Sehskritee ends on certainty. Give your heart to the One, stay with the Sangat, and you are carried across.

A Question to Sit With

After all of this — the fleeting world, the pulls of the heart, the gift of grace — what is the one thing you most want to remember?
