Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever a truly good and wise person spends their time, that place becomes beautiful.
People seek out that spot, wanting even to be near where such goodness has been.
The verse paints goodness as something that blesses a place: wherever the True Guru sits, that place is beautiful, and people seek it out, wanting even the dust of it. It's a lovely, concrete idea — that a genuinely kind, wise person makes wherever they are lovelier, and others are drawn to that warmth. For a child: goodness is contagious and location-blessing; being near it makes you want to be better. And the closing turn — those who honor the Guru, the One causes to be honored in turn — honoring goodness quietly makes you honorable too.
Is there a place that feels better because of the kind people in it? What makes it feel that way?
