Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those with great good fortune turn their faces toward the Sangat.
Nanak says, I long every day for the dust of their feet. May my Master be kind to me.
Turning toward the Sangat is itself a gift.
Bhaag means good fortune. Those with good fortune keep turning their faces, mukh juray, toward the saadhoo sang, the Sangat.
Guru Arjan longs for the dhoor, the dust, of their feet. That is the old language of humility, like saying, "I'd be happy just to be near them." Think of a young player who is glad just to carry water for the team they admire. Then comes the closing prayer: prabh mayraa kirpaa karay, "may my God be kind to me." Even the wish to turn toward the good is a gift of grace.
What draws you toward the people who are good for you?
