Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The humble ones dyed through with the true word become true themselves. The One Itself draws them close and makes them one with It.
Through the Guru's word, they come to understand the word, and their loving attention stays fixed on the True One.
When Truth soaks all the way through you, you become true yourself.
Saachai sabad ratay jan saachay — ratay means dyed. The humble ones are dyed through with the true word, so they become true. Think of a white T-shirt dipped in blue dye. After a while it isn't a white shirt with blue on it. It is simply blue, all the way through.
Har parabh aap milaa-ay — the One draws them close. Gur kee banee sabad pachhaatee — through the Guru's word, they understand. Saach rahay liv laa-ay — their liv, their loving attention, stays fixed on the True One. It is like a compass that always turns back to north.
What is something good that, the more you are around it, the more it colors who you become?
