Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Greet the holy one with your hands pressed together -- that itself is a great and good act. Bow before them; that is a truly worthy thing to do.
Even a humble greeting to the holy is a great and good act.
The Rahao: even the simple acts of greeting and bowing to the Saint are named great merit -- the highest "good deed" is humble reverence toward the holy. Devotion expressed in posture.
