Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the company of the One's people, the coming and going of birth and death comes to rest.
In the company of the One's people, death has nothing to say.
In the Sangat, your words become clean.
In the company of the One's people, the Naam is chanted.
In the company of the One's people, even the fear of death grows quiet.
The verse says that among good people, janam maran rahai — birth and death come to rest. And jam kichhoo na kahai — the messenger of death has nothing to say. The plain meaning for us is this: the fear of endings loses its voice.
Think of a thunderstorm at night. Alone, it feels huge. With your family around you on the couch, it is just noise outside. The company of the One's people does that for the heart. There, words grow true and clean, and the Naam is sung together.
What fear feels smaller when you are with the right people?
