Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, has brought me the Name of the Lord.

I have obtained the ambrosial fruit of the Naam. My face is radiant in the Court of the True Lord.

The Saadh Sangat delivers what was sought: the Naam, and the radiant face that follows.

The Saadh Sangat delivers the Naam, the Naam produces the radiant face, and the radiant face appears in the divine Court.
The deeper layer

The closing pauri completes the sequence that began with the Guru's Mantra (Pauri 0) and the Naam as protection (Pauri 1): the Saadh Sangat delivers the Naam, the Naam produces the radiant face, the radiant face appears in the Court of the True Lord.

Amrit phal (ambrosial fruit) obtained. The fruit of genuine practice is ambrosial — immortal-quality, not subject to decay. The face radiant in the True Lord's Court (Sach Darbaar): the culmination of the entire arc.

A Question to Sit With

Where does your spiritual community find you now — what does your 'Saadh Sangat' look like? And what does it bring you?
