Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Grant your grace, O One, and hear this prayer: let me have the humble, grounding gift of the dust of the feet of those who serve you.
This one is a prayer to stay humble among good people.
The closing line asks for daas kee dhoor, the dust of the feet of the One's servants. This is not about feeling small or worthless. It is about humility, which keeps a heart ready to learn.
Think of the newest player on a great team. The one happy to carry the balls and watch the best players is the one who grows fastest.
Wanting the lowest place among the good keeps you open and free of pride. Dhoor, dust, is the most grounded thing there is. It stays close to the earth.
Why might the humblest spot in a good group sometimes be the best place to grow?
