Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My thirst and the darkness of not-knowing are gone.
Serving the holy, countless sins are wiped away.
This one says that thirst and darkness inside us lift together in good company.
Mitee ti-aas agi-aan andhayray — my thirst is gone, and so is the darkness of not-knowing. The "thirst" is the restless wanting of more and more. The "darkness" is not seeing what is true.
Both leave at the same time. How? Saadh sayvaa — by serving good and holy people.
Think of a dark room where you are fumbling for a snack. Someone kind switches on the light and hands you a plate. At once you can see, and you are not hungry anymore. Light and being satisfied arrive together in good company.
When has serving others quietly cleared something up inside you?
