ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਗ ਧੂਰਿ ਜਿਨਾ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਾਈ ॥
satgur pag Dhoor jinaa mukh laa-ee.
Those who apply the dust of the Feet of the True Guru to their faces,
ਤਿਨ ਕੂੜ ਤਿਆਗੇ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥
tin koorh ti-aagay har liv laa-ee.
renounce falsehood and enshrine love for the Lord.
ਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਮੁਖ ਊਜਲ ਭਾਈ ॥੩॥
tay har dargeh mukh oojal bhaa-ee. ||3||
Their faces are radiant in the Court of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who take the dust of the teacher's feet and touch it to their faces let go of all that is false and treasure love for the One. Their faces shine at the One's door.
Those who humbly bow to the teacher are the ones whose faces shine.
The humility-image (dust of the feet) yields radiance: those who lower themselves to the Guru renounce falsehood and are radiant in the Court. The paradox of Mehl 4 -- the lowest posture produces the brightest face.
