Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:
ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਮਿਲਿ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇ ॥
satsangat milee-ai har saaDhoo mil sangat har gun gaa-ay.
Join the Sat Sangat, the Lord's True Congregation; joining the Company of the Holy, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਗਿਆਨ ਰਤਨੁ ਬਲਿਆ ਘਟਿ ਚਾਨਣੁ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਅੰਧੇਰਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥
gi-aan ratan bali-aa ghat chaanan agi-aan anDhayraa jaa-ay. ||1||
With the sparkling jewel of spiritual wisdom, the heart is illumined, and ignorance is dispelled. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Join the true company; in the company of the holy, sing the One's praises.
With the sparkling jewel of wisdom, the heart lights up, and the dark of not-knowing is gone.
Wisdom is a light that comes on in the heart — and it's caught in good company.
The opening gathers two of Guru Ram Das's loves: Sat Sangat (the true company) and the jewel of wisdom that lights the heart. Wisdom here is not information but illumination — a jewel whose light "dispels ignorance." And it is found in company, not alone.
A Question to Sit With
Whose company makes things clearer for you, almost without trying?
