Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Lucky are the hearts that keep the good in mind — they're the real lovers of what's true.
"Please let me sit with good, kind people," the heart asks; "I feel small and lost — help me."
This one says: it is good and honest to ask to be around kind people.
First the verse blesses people who remember the good: vadbhaagee, "very fortunate." Then it turns to a humble request. The heart asks for sangat, which means good company, people who help you be your best.
The verse says, "I am a fool — please save me!" This is not name-calling. It is honest smallness: "I feel small and lost, help me." Think of a new student on the first day who asks to sit with the kind kids at lunch. That is a wise thing to ask. The deep wish here is simply to be among good people.
When you feel small or lost, whose company helps you most?
