ਸੰਤ ਰਹਤ ਸੁਨਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਭਾਈ ॥
sant rahat sunhu mayray bhaa-ee.
Listen, to the way of life of the Saints, O my Siblings of Destiny;
ਉਆ ਕੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਕਥਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
u-aa kee mahimaa kathan na jaa-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
their praises cannot be described. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen to the way the Saints live, my friends —
their praises are beyond describing.
The lives of the truly good are better watched than described.
The Pause invites attention to "the way of life of the Saints" — and admits "their praises cannot be described." The lives of the genuinely awakened exceed words; you learn them not by definition but by watching and keeping their company.
A Question to Sit With
Who is someone whose way of living teaches you more than their words?
