Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
After a long, long time of wandering, I finally found my way to loving company —
and all my aches and doubts melted away.
I felt welcomed home and given the sweetest gift.
My One is lofty and wonderful beyond words.
The shabad answers its own question (from the rahao): the meeting comes "after wandering around for so long," when "I have finally come to the Saints" — the good company — where "all my pains and doubts are eradicated." The auspicious moment isn't a calendar date; it's the moment you find your way to what's good and true, often after long wandering. "God summoned me... and blessed me with the Ambrosial Nectar." For a child: the longed-for moment comes when you finally find your way to good company — and the long wandering was leading there all along.
Has a long, hard search ever finally led you somewhere really good?
