maaroo mehlaa 3.
Maaroo, Third Mehl:
ਸਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਸੇ ਟੋਲਿ ਲਹੁ ਸੇ ਵਿਰਲੇ ਸੰਸਾਰਿ ॥
sach ratay say tol lahu say virlay sansaar.
Seek and find those who are imbued with Truth; they are so rare in this world.
ਤਿਨ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਮੁਖੁ ਉਜਲਾ ਜਪਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੁਰਾਰਿ ॥੧॥
tin mili-aa mukh ujlaa jap naam muraar. ||1||
Meeting with them, one's face becomes radiant and bright, chanting the Name of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Look for the people whose lives are steeped in truth; they are rare and precious.
Time with them leaves your own face glowing, warm and bright.
With them, the Naam rises easily on your lips.
The people you keep near quietly shape the person you become.
Sach ratay, those dyed in Truth, are rare in this world. Nearness to them makes one's own face radiant (mukh ujlaa): character rubs off; we grow bright in the light of the bright.
When such people gather, they are the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Choosing whom you keep near is choosing who you become.
A Question to Sit With
Who in your life makes you want to be your best, truest self?
