Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By great good luck I found the Sangat, and there the Naam of the One fills everything.
People travel to sixty-eight holy rivers to wash themselves clean. I bathed at all of them in one place — in the dust of the Sangat's feet.
The Sangat is worth every pilgrimage.
Vadai bhaag means by great good fortune. The singer found the sat sangat, the Sangat. There, the Name fills everything.
Athsath tirath are the sixty-eight holy pilgrimage places of the Hindu tradition. People travel far to bathe there and feel clean inside. The verse honors that longing. It does not wave pilgrimage away. It turns the longing inward: the truest bath is the humility found in the Sangat.
Think of someone who travels the world looking for home, then finds it at their own family table. What the pilgrim seeks can be found in the Sangat.
Where do you feel washed clean and renewed?
