ਸੋਈ ਸੰਤੁ ਜਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਰਾਮ ॥
so-ee sant je bhaavai raam.
He alone is a Saint, who is pleasing to the Lord.
ਸੰਤ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਕੈ ਏਕੈ ਕਾਮ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sant gobind kai aikai kaam. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Saints, and God, have only one job to do. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A true good soul is simply one who is dear to the One.
Such a person and the One are working toward the very same thing.
A truly good person and the One are working toward the very same thing.
The rahau quietly defines what a sant actually is: so-ee sant je bhaavai raam — not someone with titles or robes, but simply one who is dear to the One and lives in tune with it. Sant gobind kai aikai kaam — the good person and the One share one job: love, healing, the lifting-up of others. Goodness is not a private badge; it is being on the same errand as the One.
