Verse 2 of 3

What Makes Good Company Saving Is Love at Its Center

ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥
charan kamal gurdayv pi-aaray.
The Saints worship and adore the Lotus Feet of the Divine Guru;
ਪੂਜਹਿ ਸੰਤ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
poojeh sant har pareet pi-aaray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
they love the Beloved Lord. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Saints worship and adore the Lotus Feet of the Guru;

they love the Beloved.

What makes good company saving is simple: love and adoration at its center.
The deeper layer

The Pause names what the Saints do: they "worship and adore the Lotus Feet of the Divine Guru" and "love the Beloved." Their whole activity is love and adoration — that is the secret of how their company saves (cf. Shabad 179).

A Question to Sit With

What is at the center of the company that brings out your best?
