Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The good is like my father and my mother, my helper and my friend.
It's who I talk to and who advises me; it always takes care of me.
It's my dearest company and my whole family — here and everywhere.
A beloved litany: har naam pitaa... har naam maataa—"the Name is my father, the Name is my mother, my helper and friend... my conversation, my counsel, my society, my ancestry, my family." The good is every relationship at once — the One who is father, mother, friend, and family all together, and "always takes care of me." For a child: the good can be like your father, mother, friend, and family all at once — always taking care of you.
Who feels like family to you — and how might goodness itself be like family?
