Raag Soohee, Shabad 80 - A Life That Bears Fruit
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A life really counts for something when it is spent keeping the Name alive in good company.
And every deep longing gets filled, for the one the One reaches with kindness.
A life spent with the Name, among good people, is a life that bears fruit.
Safal janam tis kaa jag bheetar — that person's life in this world is fruitful. Safal means bearing fruit, like a tree heavy with apples. SaaDhsang naa-o jaapay — they repeat the Name in the saaDhsang, the company of good, holy people.
Sagal manorath tis kay pooran — all the heart's wishes come true for them. Manorath means a deep longing. Jis da-i-aa karay parabh aapay — for the one God Himself is kind to. So the filling-up comes as a gift of grace, like rain on a garden.
What would make your days feel like they really count?
