Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Joining the Sangat, I gain wisdom and understanding, and I am set free from the traps of ego and the "mine, mine" feeling.
The Naam of the One, and the One, taste sweet to me. Through the Word, the Guru has filled me with joy.
The Sangat brings wisdom and frees you from ego's grip.
satsangat mil mat buDh paa-ee — joining the Sangat, people gathered together to remember the One, wisdom and understanding grow. ha-o chhootay mamtaa jaal — the traps of ha-o (ego) and mamtaa (the "mine, mine" feeling) let go.
har naamaa har meeth lagaanaa — the Naam and the One taste sweet. gur kee-ay sabad nihaal — through the Word, the Guru has made me nihaal, full of joy.
Think of joining a friendly team after trying to play alone. You learn faster, and you stop worrying about being the star. This joy simply arrives.
What is something you were holding onto too tightly that felt better once you let go?
