ਜੋ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇਆ ॥
jo Dhur likhi-aa so karam kamaa-i-aa.
He acts according to his pre-ordained destiny.
ਕੋਇ ਨ ਮੇਟੈ ਧੁਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਇਆ ॥
ko-ay na maytai Dhur furmaa-i-aa.
No one can erase the Command of the Primal Lord.
ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਵਾਸਾ ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਧੁਰਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਪਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੫॥
satsangat meh tin hee vaasaa jin ka-o Dhur likh paa-ee hay. ||15||
They alone dwell in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Each life unfolds along a path set long before.
What the One has written, no one can rub out.
And those who come to live in the Sangat were quietly meant to be there all along.
The Sangat that shapes you may have been meant for you.
What the One has written, no one rubs out, and a place in the Sangat is part of that writing. This is gentle trust: the people who shape us for the better may have been meant for us all along.
Satsangat is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
