Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the company of good and true-hearted people, I gathered the one wealth that lasts — the Name held in the heart. And every heavy trouble I carried was lifted clean away.
Good company is where the wealth that lasts is gathered.
Naam raas saaDh sang khaatee — in the company of the holy, I have earned the wealth of the Name. Raas is savings, the money you build a life on. SaaDh sang is the company of good, true-hearted people. This wealth is earned not by straining, but simply by being there.
Kaho naanak parabh apdaa kaatee — Nanak says, God has cut away my trouble. Apdaa means a heavy trouble. It is lifted by grace, not by force. Think of carrying a heavy backpack up a hill, and a friend quietly lifting it off your shoulders.
What is one "trouble" you would most love to feel lifted from your shoulders?
