Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Good, holy people are like Your very body, and their company is like Your breath of life.
I've come to see that the truly good-hearted are the most precious presence of all.
This one says good-hearted people are treasures to be near.
Ravi Daas sings about the value of good company. The Saints are the truly good-hearted, those who live close to the One. His pictures are strong. Your Saints are Your body, he says, and their company is Your breath of life.
He means the good-hearted are so close to the One that they are like the One's own body. Being near them is like being near the One's very breath. He even calls them dayvaa dayv, the gods of gods, the most precious presence there is.
Think of sitting next to a warm fire on a cold day. You do not have to do anything. The warmth just reaches you. The truly kind people in your life are treasures. Being near them is like being near the source of all goodness. Good company is not just pleasant. It is holy.
Who are the genuinely kind, good-hearted people whose company feels like a treasure to you?
