Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The people who make the One glad are simply those who love and remember.
They carry a quiet honor with them, day and night settled in what's true.
Being near them, your own heart gets lighter and cleaner, warmed by that same love.
"Let me sit with people like that," the heart prays — good company leaves it satisfied.
The pauri praises the bhagat and daas — the devotee and servant — as those "pleasing to the Mind of God." What makes them pleasing is not talent or status but that they "remain absorbed in the True Lord night and day." The social teaching follows: tin kai sang — "in their company, the filth of sins is washed away." This is sangat again, holy company, as a real spiritual force: who you spend time with shapes what you become, and being near people soaked in love makes your own heart lighter. The shabad ends the pauri in prayer — "joining the Saadh Sangat, he is satisfied." Satisfaction (tript) — the end of restless wanting — comes not from getting more but from good company.
Who are the people who leave your heart feeling lighter and cleaner after you're with them?
