ਜਿਨ ਸੰਤਨ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਤੂ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਤੇ ਆਏ ਪਰਵਾਨ ॥
jin santan jaani-aa too thaakur tay aa-ay parvaan.
Those Saints who know You, O Lord and Master - blessed and approved is their coming into the world.
ਜਨ ਕਾ ਸੰਗੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੈ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ॥੨॥੪੧॥੬੪॥
jan kaa sang paa-ee-ai vadbhaagee naanak santan kai kurbaan. ||2||41||64||
The Congregation of those humble beings is obtained by great good fortune; Nanak is a sacrifice to the Saints. ||2||41||64||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The saints who know You, O Master — their coming into the world is blessed.
By great good fortune we find the Sangat of Your humble people. Nanak says: I would give myself for the saints.
The Sangat is one of life’s great strokes of fortune.
Jin santan jaani-aa... aa-ay parvaan — those who know the One, their coming is blessed.
Jan kaa sang... vadbhaagee: by great fortune we find the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. This set of shabads keeps returning to it as one of life’s great graces. Kurbaan, a glad devotion, is love, not loss.
A Question to Sit With
