How rare are those who embrace love for the Lord's Lotus Feet.
ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਮੁਖੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥੩॥
Dhan suhaavaa mukh jin har Dhi-aa-i-aa. ||3||
Blessed and beautiful is that mouth, which meditates on the Lord. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

How rare are those who embrace love for the One's Lotus Feet.

Blessed and beautiful is that mouth which meditates on the One.

The most beautiful mouth is the one that remembers the One.
The deeper layer

Love for the One is rare — "how rare are those who embrace love for the Lord's Lotus Feet" — and the mouth that meditates is called "blessed and beautiful." Real beauty is in what the mouth speaks: a mouth that remembers the One is lovely in a way no feature could be.

A Question to Sit With

What makes a person's words truly beautiful?
