Sikhism·Raag Aasaa·Shabad 156
Verse 3 of 5

The Company That Saves You Is Itself Grace

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੇ ਸੰਤ ਉਧਾਰਨ ਜੋਗ ॥
parabh kay sant uDhaaran jog.
The Saints of God have the ability to save us;
ਤਿਸੁ ਭੇਟੇ ਜਿਸੁ ਧੁਰਿ ਸੰਜੋਗ ॥੨॥
tis bhaytay jis Dhur sanjog. ||2||
they meet with those of us who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Saints of the One have the power to save us;

they meet those of us with such destiny written for us.

The company that saves you is itself a grace — granted, not arranged.
The deeper layer

The Saints "have the ability to save us" — and the meeting happens by destiny ("pre-ordained"). The company that saves is itself a grace; you do not arrange it, you are granted it.

A Question to Sit With

Has a life-changing person come into your life as if by gift, not by your planning?
