Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Honor and a clear, awake awareness come to those who keep the Name of the One. The teaching of a true guide is spotless and pure — nothing muddies it.
Holding on to the Name brings honor, and a mind that is wide awake.
Sobhaa surat naam bhagvant — sobhaa, honor, and surat, clear, awake attention, both grow from holding the Name.
Pooray gur kaa nirmal mant — the teaching of the perfect Guru is spotless. Nirmal means spotless. Gurbani loves this word for teaching that is clear and not bent out of shape.
Think of a glass of clean, clear water. You can see right through it, and you can trust it enough to drink.
What makes a piece of advice feel truly clean and trustworthy to you?
