Sing the Giver of peace in good company, and the heart is washed clear.
The Arc
The shabad turns on sat sangat — the true company of seekers. It moves from the call to sing the sukh-daata (Giver of peace), through the cleansing of meeting the Guru, to begging the holy for the stories of the One, to peace arriving at last, and closes by honoring even the dust of the feet of the wise.
Key Vocabulary
Sukh-daata — the Giver of peace
Sat Sangat — the true company of those who love the One
Darshan — the blessing of being in the presence of the Guru/wise
Har Kathaa — the stories of the One
Themes and Cross-Connections
Cleansing here is refreshment (bathing in a pool of nectar), not guilt-scrubbing. Humility toward the wise is framed as glad love and learning, not self-lowering — consistent with the project's reading of the bow as warmth.
For Raag Maale-Gaorhaa
The 'sweetness/taste' vocabulary (ras) that runs through Maalee Gauraa appears strongly: the Name is flavor, not duty.
