Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Restless craving, flashes of anger, the urge to tear others down — in the Sangat I faced them. I drove them out and sent them on their way.
This one human life is a priceless gift. Turned toward the Guru, I win it, and I will never lose it in a gamble again.
In the Sangat, the heart's fevers cool down, and this life is won.
Kaam kroDh nindaa are three troubles. Kaam is strong, restless craving. KroDh is anger. Nindaa is tearing others down. They are like fevers in the heart. The verse says they are driven out saaDhoo kai sang, in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. We do not have to beat them alone.
Janam padaarath means this human life is a precious treasure. A gurmukh is someone turned toward the Guru's teaching. That person wins life, instead of losing it joo-ai, in a gamble.
Think of a hard hike with friends. When one person wants to quit, the others cheer them on. Together, everyone reaches the top.
What would "winning" at your one life look like — and who helps you get there?
