Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When kindness touches a heart, it turns naturally toward the One.
And that love grows best in good company, among others who are turning the same way.
This is the Shalok (a short couplet) that opens one of the raag's most beloved Chhants — a whole poem that answers one question: how should you love the One? The little opening verse names the two ingredients: grace (love begins as a gift that touches you) and good company (Saadh Sangat, where that love is kept warm and growing). Everything that follows will be a series of pictures — animals and lovers — each showing a different flavor of wholehearted love.
Who helps your best kind of love grow — the people you spend time with?
