Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the pure water, the mind is the bather, and the true teaching is the one who bathes you, my friends.
The humble one who joins the true company is not sent wandering again; their light merges into the Light.
A gorgeous three-part image of spiritual cleansing: the One is "the immaculate water," the mind is "the bather," and the Guru is "the bath attendant" who helps you wash. Cleansing is not something you do alone or to yourself; you are the one bathing, but the water is the One and the teaching guides your washing. And the result is final — no more wandering, "his light merges into the Light." The drop, washed clean, rejoins the sea it came from. Purity here is reunion, not scrubbing.
Who helps you 'wash' — and what is the pure water you bathe in when you want to feel clean again?
