Gaathaa, Salok 11 — words that clear away a mountain of mistakes
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The words of the holy are the best mantra of all. They wipe away millions of wrongs.
Nanak says: thinking of the One's lotus feet, a whole family, through all its generations, is carried across.
The words of holy people clear away more wrongs than anyone could count.
Sumantar saaDh bachnaa: the words of the holy are the finest mantra. Kot dokh binaasneh: they destroy millions of faults.
Har charan kamal: the lotus feet of the One, a picture of humble, loving closeness. Kul samooh uDhaarneh: remembering them lifts up the whole family line. Goodness in one person spreads to the people around them.
What is one heavy thing you would like to set down and let wash away?
