Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I sing the praises of the One; by the kind favor of the Saints,
I meditate on the Name in their company.
Even our singing and remembering are gifts from good company.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. The singer praises the One. The singer remembers the Name. But this happens sant partaap, by the kind help of the Saints. It happens in the Saadh Sangat, the company of good and holy people.
Think of trying to sing alone in your room, and then singing with a whole choir. The group lifts you. Your voice comes out stronger. Being around good people is what makes the praising possible.
What good practice came to you through the people around you?
