"He finds no place of rest without the Saadh Sangat; to whom should he go and cry?"
The Arc
Without the teacher, wisdom doesn't come — sincere effort circles (rahau); the homelessness of a soul tied in attachment, finding no rest (v.1); grace bringing the good company, and pain lifting in an instant into merger (v.2).
Key Vocabulary
bin gur / without the teacher — the light needed from beyond one's own confused mind.
Saadh Sangat — the "place of rest" for the restless soul (see philosophy.md).
khin meh / in an instant — the speed of grace-given relief.
Themes and Cross-Connections
"Can't fix confusion with the confused mind" links to the teacher's role across the tradition (Gauree's Guru-as-door). Homelessness-answered-by-Sangat links to Sat Sangat. Merger-ending links to the raag's union theology.
For Raag Devgandhaari
Names the raag's one sober limit — self-effort alone circles — and its warm answer: a place (good company) and a speed (instant, when grace comes). Belonging ends the wandering.
