Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one whom the One protects chants the Naam of the One, Har, Har, forever.
In the Sangat, they sing the praises of the One. Nanak says: they have found the Perfect True Guru.
The way back to the water is the Naam and the Sangat.
When the One is your protector, raakhay har aap, you are safe. That safety makes the way back possible. Two things carry you home. One is steady remembering of the Naam. The other is saaDhsang, the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — singing together.
Think of a tired swimmer far from shore, and friends reaching out a hand. In that company, Nanak says, you find the Perfect True Guru.
Who are the people you feel most yourself around?
