Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One itself is pleased with the teaching-faced, the fellowship of companions.
In the One's court they are robed in honor, and the One hugs them close to its heart.
A tender image: the sangat, "the fellowship of the companions," is not just useful but delighted in by the One — "the Lord Himself hugs them close in His embrace." The community gathered around the One is embraced as a community. And they are "given robes of honor" — the dignity the world may not grant them is conferred by the One. To belong to the fellowship of the devoted is to be embraced and honored by the source itself.
What does it feel like to belong to a group that something greater than yourselves delights in?
