ਸੰਤ ਜਨੀ ਕੀਆ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ॥
sant janee kee-aa updays.
The Saints have shared the Teachings with me.
ਜਹ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਭਗਤੁ ਸੋ ਧੰਨਿ ਦੇਸੁ ॥
jah gobind bhagat so Dhan days.
Blessed is that country where the devotees of the Lord of the Universe dwell.
ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿਹੀਨ ਉਦਿਆਨ ਥਾਨੁ ॥
har bhagtiheen udi-aan thaan.
But that place where the Lord's devotees are not, is wilderness.
ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਪਛਾਨੁ ॥੨॥
gur parsaad ghat ghat pachhaan. ||2||
By Guru's Grace, realize the Lord in each and every heart. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The saints have shared this teaching with me:
blessed is the land where the devotees of the Lord of the World live.
A place without love for the One is a wilderness.
By the Guru's grace, recognize the One in every heart.
It is the loving hearts that make a place bloom.
A place blooms where people love the One, and by the Guru's grace you can see the One in every heart.
dhann days — blessed the land of devotees; udiaan thaan (wilderness) where they are absent. ghat ghat pachhaan — recognizing the One in every heart.
A Question to Sit With
What makes a place feel warm and alive to you — the building, or the people?
