ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਕੈ ਬਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਈ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਜਨਮਾ ਧਾਇ ॥
saaDhsangat kai bal bal jaa-ee bahurh na janmaa Dhaa-ay.
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; I shall never again fall into reincarnation.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਜਿਉ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਵੈ ਚਲਾਇ ॥੨॥੭੫॥੯੮॥
naanak daas tayree sarnaa-ee ji-o bhaavai tivai chalaa-ay. ||2||75||98||
Slave Nanak seeks Your Sancuary, Lord; as it pleases Your Will, so do You guide him. ||2||75||98||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I give myself, again and again, to the Sangat; I will not go wandering from birth to birth again.
Nanak says: I, Your servant, have come to Your shelter; lead me as You please.
The Sangat sets you on a path you will not keep falling off.
SaaDhsangat is the Sangat, the community that keeps you oriented. Bahurh na janmaa means the endless cycle of getting lost and starting over grows quiet. Jio bhaavai tivai chalaay — being guided by the flow rather than forcing your own way.
The Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — makes that trust easier to hold. Surrender here is trust, never defeat.
A Question to Sit With
Who are the people whose company quietly makes you better, and how do they do it?
