By great good fortune, I found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਸਿਉ ਲਾਗੋ ਰੰਗੁ ॥੧॥

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listening to the One's word, my stains were washed away. I have become completely clean, and now I walk in peace. By great good fortune I found the company of the holy, and I have fallen in love with the One.
Listening washes the soul clean -- and in holy company, you fall in love with the One.
The opening: listening (Suniai) washes pollution; the result is purity and peace. The Saadh Sangat found by good fortune (grace) leads to falling in love with the One. Listening, company, and love in one movement.
A Question to Sit With
Has truly listening to something ever left you feeling washed clean?
