Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am forever a sacrifice to those who listen to the One's teaching.
Those who bow their heads before the One are perfect and honored.
Beautiful are the hands that write the praise of the endless One.
Pure are the feet that walk the One's path.
In the company of the good they are set free; all their sorrows depart.
A lovely Pauree that blesses the body parts turned toward the One: the ears that listen, the head that bows, the hands that write the praise, the feet that walk the path. Each ordinary part of the body becomes "beautiful" and "pure" when it is used for the One. This is a gentle, embodied holiness — not escaping the body but sanctifying it, one faculty at a time, by the direction it's turned. The hands that write praise are beautiful; the feet that walk the path are holy. Devotion is not abstract; it is what your actual body does, and every part of it can be made lovely by its use.
How might your own hands, feet, and voice become 'beautiful' — not by how they look, but by what you use them for?
