Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Dear One, please bring me to join the Sangat.
Nanak says: the One gives glory and greatness to those who fix their mind on the Naam of the One.
The Sangat and a mind fixed on the Naam are what hold you up.
This is the rahao, the pause line, the centre of the shabad, the part everything else leans on. It is a prayer.
Har jee-o satsangat maylaa-ay: Dear One, let me join the satsangat, the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
Think of how you play better on a good team. Good players lift you up without even trying.
The second line gives the reason. Naanak tis no day-ay vadi-aa-ee: Nanak says the One gives greatness to those jo raam naam chit laa-ay, who fix their chit, their mind, on the Naam.
Who are the people who lift you toward your better self?
