Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who remember You are noble and good. Remembering the One, they find peace.
Bidur was the son of a servant girl, and people called him untouchable. Yet Krishna hugged him close.
The One's love reaches most warmly toward the people others push aside.
Jin too japi-o tay-ee jan neekay: those who remember You are the noble ones, and they find peace. Nobility here comes from the heart, not from birth.
Then comes an old story. Bidur was the son of a servant woman. People of his time treated him as an outcast, someone they would not even touch. Krisan ank gal laavaigo: yet Krishna hugged him close. Picture the kid who always eats lunch alone, and someone everyone looks up to sits right down beside him. The verse speaks against ranking people by birth. The One's embrace goes straight to those the world leaves out.
Have you ever seen kindness reach someone who was being left out?
