Sikhism·Raag Gauree·Shabad 159
Verse 3 of 5

Honest Company Lifts Regrets You've Hauled Forever

ਸੰਤਸੰਗਿ ਤਹ ਗੋਸਟਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
satsang tah gosat ho-ay.
In the Society of the Saints, spiritual conversations take place.
ਕੋਟਿ ਜਨਮ ਕੇ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਖੋਇ ॥੨॥
kot janam kay kilvikh kho-ay. ||2||
The sinful mistakes of millions of incarnations are erased. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When people who are seeking the One gather and truly talk together, something real happens between them.

Old mistakes and heavy regrets, carried for a very long time, quietly lift away.

Honest company can lift regrets you've hauled around for what feels like forever.
The deeper layer

Satsang tah gosat ho-ay — "in the company of seekers, spiritual conversation happens." Gosat is real dialogue, the kind that changes you. Then: kot janam kay kilvikh khoay — "the errors of millions of lifetimes are erased." In the wellbeing lens we keep the relief and set down any weight of shame: this is about being freed from the long-carried burden of regret, not about being condemned for it. Good company and honest talk can lift what a person has hauled around for ages.

A Question to Sit With

Has talking honestly with the right person ever set down a weight you'd been carrying a long time?
