ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕਾਟਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਕਰੇ ॥
parabh kaat mail nirmal karay.
God has rid me of my filth, and made me stainless and pure.
ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਕੀ ਸਰਣੀ ਪਰੇ ॥੩॥
gur pooray kee sarnee paray. ||3||
I have sought the Sanctuary of the Perfect Guru. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One has cut away my dirt and made me clean and clear.
I have come into the shelter of the Perfect Guru.
Sometimes getting clean inside just means stepping into good shelter.
The One washed away the dirt from my heart. All I did was come to the Guru's shelter.
parabh kaat mail nirmal karay — the One cut away the mail, the grime, and made me nirmal, clean and clear. Think of a window after a good rain. The dust runs off, and suddenly you can see the sky.
What was my part? gur pooray kee sarnee paray — I came into the sarnee, the shelter, of the Perfect Guru. It is like a child running inside when it starts to storm. The one step was coming close. The cleaning was a gift.
