I have found celestial peace, and my hopes are fulfilled.
ਪੂਰੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਆ ਬਿਸਾਸ ॥

The Perfect True Guru has blessed me with faith.

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Joining the Sangat, a light came on inside me.
A deep, easy peace settled in, and my hopes came true.
The Perfect Guru planted a settled trust in me.
Nanak says: I serve those who serve the One.
The Sangat is where the inner light comes on.
The Sangat (saadhsang), people gathered together to remember the One, is where pargaas, an inner light, dawns and sahj sookh, a natural ease, settles. Bisaas is trust that has taken root, a confidence that grows over time. Daasan daas, servant of servants, is glad humility, not lowliness.
