The Gurmukhs gather in the Naam.
ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਸਚੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥

Their minds are immaculate, and their reputations are immaculate. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
True are those who come to know the True One.
Setting down the pushy just-me feeling, they melt easily into the Naam.
Facing the Guru, they receive the Naam.
Their minds are clean and clear, and their good name is clean and clear too.
A clear mind shows up as a clear life.
Knowing the True One and setting down self-importance makes the mind clear, and your life shows it.
Aap maar (subduing self-conceit) is again the gentle softening of haumai. Nirmal appears twice: a clean mind and a clean so-ay (the way one is seen) — inner clarity showing outwardly.
