Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Searching and searching and reflecting, I found that the Name lives with the saints.
Only those receive this treasure who have it written in their destiny.
Where is the treasure found? "With the saints" — in the company of those who already carry it (Sat Sangat). You do not usually find it alone in a cave; you find it near people in whom it is alive. The line about "pre-ordained destiny" can trouble modern ears — it sounds like a closed door. But read within the tradition's grace-theology, it is not a lottery that excludes most people; it is a way of saying that when you do find it, it feels like gift, not achievement — as though it had been waiting for you all along. The finding never feels earned; it feels given.
Why might the best things in life feel more like gifts you received than prizes you won?
