Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I searched the wise old books again and again. A great sage said the same thing:
Keep the good in mind, and stay in good company. That is what carries you home.
This one says: after all the searching, the answer is simple. Keep the good in mind, in good company.
Saastar bayd soDh soDh daykhay — "I searched and searched the Shaastras and the Vedas." These are very old books of wisdom from India. Naarad, a sage from the old stories, said the same thing.
The answer: "remembering the Name, you are set free," and "the Guru saves those in the Sat Sangat," the company of good people. Think of hunting all over the house for your glasses, then finding them on your head. All that searching, and the answer was right there. Keep the good close, and stay near good people.
What simple good thing is worth more than all the complicated searching?
