ਪਰਾ ਪੂਰਬਲਾ ਲੀਖਿਆ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਅਬ ਆਇ ॥
paraa poorbalaa leekhi-aa mili-aa ab aa-ay.
I have now received my pre-ordained destiny.
ਬਸਤ ਸੰਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਾਧ ਕੈ ਪੂਰਨ ਆਸਾਇ ॥੨॥
basat sang har saaDh kai pooran aasaa-ay. ||2||
Dwelling with the Lord's Holy Saints, my hopes are fulfilled. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What was written for me from long ago has finally arrived, right on time.
Living in the Sangat of the One's holy people, my hopes are fulfilled.
Some good things arrive exactly when you are ready to receive them.
What was meant for you arrives in its own time.
Paraa poorbalaa leekhi-aa mili-aa ab aa-ay — what was written for me long ago has now arrived. Here destiny is not a cold, fixed fate. It is grace ripening, like fruit that finally turns sweet on the tree.
Basat sang har saadh kai pooran aasaa-ay — living in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — my hopes are fulfilled. The saadh are the One's holy people. Aasaa means hope.
A Question to Sit With
