Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In kindness, the One has linked me to the One's service.
In the Sangat, the company of holy people, every joy is found.
Grace draws you into glad service, and in the Sangat every joy is found.
This is the rahao, the "pause" line. It is the centre of the whole shabad, the part everything else leans on.
Kar kirpaa apnee sayvaa laa-ay: in kindness, the One put me to work serving. Kirpaa means grace, love we didn't have to earn. Sayvaa means service.
Grace doesn't only make us feel good. It shows up as glad work.
Think of a grandparent who lets you help bake. It isn't a chore. It's a gift, and you feel proud.
Saadhoo sang sarab sukh paa-ay: in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — every joy is found.
What kind of helping or work makes you feel most alive?
