Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sit together with good and true people and sing the praises of the One. A color soaked in that way — in good company and shared song — never fades or leaves you.
Love that is sung together, with good people, is the kind that never fades.
Santeh sang bais gun gaa-ay — sit with the good and holy and sing the praises of the One. Taa kaa rang na utrai jaa-ay — then that color never fades.
The shabad tells us how the dye gets set. It happens in sang, which means company, and in gun gaa-ay, singing praises together.
Think of a campfire song with friends. You remember it for years, far longer than a song you heard alone once. Love that grows together, out loud and in good company, is what makes it hold its color.
What do you love more because you share it with others rather than keeping it to yourself?
