Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Make your home in truth and in a peaceful, contented heart, dear friends.
Hold on tightly to forgiveness, and to the shelter of the True Guru.
Come to know your own soul, and the great Soul it belongs to. In the Guru's Sangat, this sets you free.
Truth, contentment, and forgiveness are the treasures worth holding tight.
Sat santokh (truth and contentment) and khimaa (forgiveness) are the treasures to hold. Knowing one's aatam (soul) and the paraatam (Supreme Soul), in the Guru's sangat, is liberation.
A Question to Sit With
Which is hardest for you right now: being truthful, being content, or forgiving?
