ਸਚਾ ਚਉਕਾ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਕੀ ਕਾਰਾ ॥
sachaa cha-ukaa surat kee kaaraa.
Pure is that kitchen, which is enclosed by spiritual awareness.
ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਸਚੁ ਆਧਾਰਾ ॥
har naam bhojan sach aaDhaaraa.
The Lord's Name is my food, and Truth is my support.
ਸਦਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਹੈ ਪਾਵਨੁ ਜਿਤੁ ਘਟਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਹੇ ॥੫॥
sadaa taripat pavitar hai paavan jit ghat har naam nivaasee hay. ||5||
Forever satisfied, sanctified and pure is that person, within whose heart the Lord's Name abides. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A true, clean kitchen is the one fenced round with awareness.
The Name of the One is my food; truth is what holds me up.
A heart with the Name inside is forever full, clean, and content.
What makes a life clean is awareness inside, not rules outside.
A clean kitchen has a line of awareness drawn around it, and what makes it clean is that awareness inside. Truth itself becomes our food, our support, our home.
A Question to Sit With
What is a way of being clean that has nothing to do with soap or rules?
