ਸੰਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਭਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸ ॥
santsangat mil bha-i-aa pargaas.
Joining the Society of the Saints, I am illumined and enlightened.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਤ ਪੂਰਨ ਭਈ ਆਸ ॥੧॥
har har japat pooran bha-ee aas. ||1||
Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, my hopes have been fulfilled. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Joining the Sangat, I have found a light come on inside me.
Chanting the Naam of the One, Har, Har, the hopes I carried have been fulfilled.
The Sangat can be where the light finally comes on inside you.
Among people who remember the One, a light switches on inside you.
The verse says santsangat mil bha-i-aa pargaas. Santsangat is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Joining them, a light came on.
Then har har japat pooran bha-ee aas: remembering the One, my hopes came true. The fullness comes among people, not alone. It is like a group project that finally clicks because everyone is in it together.
A Question to Sit With
