Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have completely forgotten my jealousy of other people,
ever since I found the Sangat, the company of the holy.
In the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — jealousy of others quietly melts away.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad, like the chorus of a song.
The verse says bisar ga-ee sabh taat paraa-ee: "I have forgotten all my jealousy of others." Taat is that hot, burning pang of envy you feel when someone else gets what you wanted. Bisar ga-ee means it was forgotten.
It went away jab tay saaDhsangat mohi paa-ee, "since I found the Sangat."
Notice the word forgotten. The envy slipped away, outgrown. Think of a toy you once wanted badly. After a while you just stop thinking about it. In the Sangat, envy fades like that.
What helps you feel happy for someone else instead of jealous?
