Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now I know what a treasure it is to be friends with the saints.
In kindness, the One gave me the Naam — the practice of holding the One in mind, the way you keep someone you love in your thoughts.
Something long meant for me has finally come true.
Good friends are a gift. Jaanee sant kee mitraa-ee: now I know the worth of friendship with the saints. Mitraa-ee means friendship. A sant is a good, holy person.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad.
The Name comes as kirpaa, which means kindness or mercy. It is a gift you receive, never a prize you win. Poorab sanjog means a meeting set up long ago. Something meant for you for a long time finally arrives.
It is like the friend you met on the first day of school who turns out to be a friend for life. You did not earn that. It was a gift.
Who are the friends in your life that help you become your best self?
