Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Searching in all four directions, I came to the Guru. I found peace in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
The Saints are fed by the sublime, ambrosial essence of the Name.
The search that covered all directions ended in one place: the Guru, the Sangat, the Name.
The four-direction search that ended at the Guru — the classic narrative of the seeker who has looked everywhere before arriving here. Not because the Guru was last resort but because the seeker had to learn through exhausting all alternatives that the destination is not in the four directions.
"Fed by the sublime essence of the Name" — Naam ras amrit feeds the Saints. The Saints are not sustained by ordinary food alone — their real nourishment is the Name. This is not metaphor: it is the description of what sustains those who have genuinely found the Source.
What searching have you done in your life — different directions you've tried — before arriving where you are now? What did you learn from the directions that didn't work?
