ਸਤਿ ਸਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਤਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸਤਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗੇਹੁ ॥
sat sat har sat su-aamee sat saaDhsangayhu.
True, True, True is my Lord and Master; True is the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
ਸਤਿ ਤੇ ਜਨ ਜਿਨ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ਉਪਜੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਹ ਭਰਮੇਹੁ ॥੨॥੯੧॥੧੧੪॥
sat tay jan jin parteet upjee naanak nah bharmayhu. ||2||91||114||
True are those humble beings, within whom faith wells up; O Nanak, they are not deluded by doubt. ||2||91||114||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
True, true, true is the One, my Master, who stays while other things wobble and fade. True is the Sangat.
True are the people in whom trust wells up. Nanak says: doubt no longer pulls them this way and that.
The One is true through and through, and trust in the One ends the wobble of doubt.
sat sat sat — True, True, True: the threefold repetition is emphasis, holding up sat as what lasts. What can be trusted here is the One, the Sangat, and the people in whom parteet, deep trust, rises. When that trust takes root, bhram — the wandering of doubt — cannot survive.
saaDhsangayhu is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
