Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Through the Guru's wisdom, sing the pure praises of the One.

Through it, see the high One with your own eyes.

Nanak says: whoever listens deeply to the Naam and the Word is soaked through with the color of the One's love.

Deep listening slowly dyes your whole heart the color of love.
The deeper layer

Deep listening (sunai) to the Name and the Bani dyes a person in rang, the color of the One's love, until the whole heart takes on that hue.

A Question to Sit With

What have you listened to so deeply it changed your color inside?
