Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever keeps doing clean, good deeds, again and again, grows green branches every day.
The Guru has taught me: living rightly is the flower, and wisdom is the fruit. Their fragrance fills the whole world.
A good life grows like a healthy tree, and its fragrance spreads through the world.
Nirmal karam are clean, good deeds. They make the saakhaa, the branches, haree, green and fresh.
Dharam ful fal gur gi-aan: right living is the flower, and the Guru's wisdom is the fruit. Dharam here means living rightly. Then behkaar baas jag deejai: the fragrance spreads through the whole world.
Think of someone baking bread early in the morning. The whole street smells it, even people who never go inside. A life lived well quietly blesses everyone downwind of it.
How might one person's kindness quietly reach people they never even meet?
