Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The servants of the oneness have the greatest good fortune — not because they have wealth or status, but because they have faith in it, and a real longing for it.
When they find the Name, they feel satisfied. When they gather with others who seek it, their virtues shine forth.
Longing itself is a form of wealth. In a culture that measures fortune by what you have accumulated, Guru Ram Das measures it differently: those who have genuine faith and genuine longing for the oneness are the most fortunate beings alive. They have what nothing external can give.
The Sangat — the congregation of those who seek together — amplifies this. Virtues "shine forth" in community. The inner light becomes visible when reflected in others who are also seeking. This is why gathering with people who are genuinely reaching toward goodness matters: they make you more of who you already are.
Is there someone in your life whose presence makes you feel more like yourself — more alive, more generous, more clear? What is it about them that does that?
