In Good Company, Everything Quietly Turns Out Well

ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਭਲੀ ਬਨੀ ॥
sant parsaad bhalee banee.
By the Grace of the Saints, everything has turned out well.
ਜਾ ਕੈ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਹੈ ਪੂਰਨੁ ਸੋ ਭੇਟਿਆ ਨਿਰਭੈ ਧਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jaa kai garihi sabh kichh hai pooran so bhayti-aa nirbhai Dhanee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
His House is overflowing with all things; I have met Him, the Fearless Master. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

By the grace of the Saints, everything has turned out well.

His house is full of all things. I have met the Fearless Master.

In good company, you may find that everything has quietly turned out well.
The deeper layer

This one is about how good people help everything turn out well.

Sant parsaad bhalee banee — by the kindness of the Saints, the good and holy people, everything has turned out well.

This is the "rahaa-o," the pause line. It is the center of the shabad.

The One's house is full of everything. So bhayti-aa nirbhai Dhanee — I have met the Fearless Master.

When you spend time with someone brave and calm, you start to feel brave and calm too. The soul that meets the Fearless One catches that fearlessness.

A Question to Sit With

When have you looked up and realized things had turned out well after all?
