Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Blessed is that land where the devotees of the Lord dwell.
Blessed is that place, and exalted is that time, when the devotees gather together.
O Nanak — God is Merciful. He leads us to His Own Feet.
The closing pauri blesses the place (dhandh saa dharatee) where devotees dwell, the moment (shubh gharee) when they gather. The blessing is not from anything the place or moment has done — it is blessed because the devotees make it so.
Kirpaal apunai — He Himself is Merciful and leads to His own feet. The whole journey — the four-direction search, the soul-bride's longing — ends when the Merciful One leads the soul to His own feet. The agency is the divine's. The feet are the destination.
What would it mean to trust that the divine will lead you to where you need to be — that the arrival is ultimately His work, not your navigation? Does that feel like relief or loss of control?
