Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the company of people seeking the One together, the tangled, harmful pulls inside a person quietly dissolve.
Of all the gifts one person can give another, helping them toward this is the greatest.
Saadhsang mit jaat bikaar — "in the company of the holy, the corruptions vanish." Bikaar are the distortions that pull a heart out of shape — greed, anger, the whole tangle. The pauri says good company dissolves them almost by osmosis. And then a striking line: sabh tay ooch ayho upkaar — this is the highest upkaar, the greatest good deed. The best thing you can do for someone is help them toward what steadies and frees them.
Who helps the tangled, difficult feelings in you settle down just by being around them?
