Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By Your Grace, O Lord, You save those
who take to the Sanctuary of the true congregation.
No one can wake themselves from this sleep; it happens by grace, in good company.
Kar kirpaa raakhay satsangay — by Your kirpaa, grace, You keep people safe in the Sat Sangat. The Sat Sangat is the true company, people gathered to remember the One together. Naanak saran aahay — Nanak comes seeking that shelter.
Think of a sleepover. It is hard to wake up alone, but when your friends are up and laughing, you wake up too. The sleeper does not rouse himself. He is woken by grace, in the holy company.
The treasure he could not find alone, he finds with others.
Whose company has woken you up to something you were asleep to?
