ਸੰਤਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਇਆ ਨਿਹਚਲ ਵਸਿਆ ਜਾਈ ॥੯॥
satsang mil keertan gaa-i-aa nihchal vasi-aa jaa-ee. ||9||
Joining the Society of the Saints, I sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; I dwell in the eternal, unchanging place. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Joining the Sangat, I sing the praises of the One.
And I live in a place that never shakes and never changes.
Singing the One's praises with the Sangat settles you in a place that never shakes.
Satsang is the Sangat, people gathered together to remember the One. Keertan is singing the divine praises together, a central Sikh practice. Nihchal vasi-aa jaa-ee, dwelling in the unshaking place, is the inner steadiness that singing together opens up.
