A brief two-verse shabad from Ghar 3. P0 fuses the rahaao and first verse: a plea for darsan, the sight of the Beloved, grounded in the recognition that soul and body already belong to the One. P1 closes with what endures — the Name is the single thing that travels the whole way — and the humble wish to stay near good company.
