Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Stay joined with the humble Saints, and sing — blessed, blessed — His Praises.
The Primal One, the Infinite, beyond all limits, is found by the one turned Guru-ward.
The practice-verse: keep the company, sing the Praise. Mil rahai — remain joined — is the operative instruction: not visits to the Sangat but residence in it, since the fire stays lit only in the pile of coals. And the reach of the second line is deliberately staggering: aad purakh, aprampara — the Primal, the beyond-the-beyond — obtained by ordinary people singing together. The infinite is not scaled by expeditions; it is reached by the lowest technology on earth: humble company and a song.
Who do you sing with — literally or otherwise — and what does the company make possible?
