Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam of the One is beyond reach, beyond knowing, high and lovely. By the One's kindness, I chant it.
By great good fortune, I have found the Sangat of the holy, and with the holy I am carried across.
The Naam is far beyond reach, and by grace it comes to your lips; in the Sangat you are carried across.
Agam agochar naam har ootam: the Naam of the One is agam, out of reach, and agochar, beyond what the senses can grasp. Yet har kirpaa tay jap la-i-aa: by the One's kindness, it is chanted.
Satsangat saadh paa-ee vadbhaagee: by great good fortune, I found the satsangat, the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Sang saadhoo paar pa-i-aa: with the holy, I am carried across. Think of friends crossing a stream on stepping stones, holding hands, each one helping the next.
When has a good group of people helped you do something you could not do alone?
