ਜਾ ਕੀ ਧੂਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਪੁਨੀਤਾ ॥
jaa kee Dhoor karay puneetaa.
The dust of His feet purifies.
ਸੁਰਿ ਨਰ ਦੇਵ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਮੀਤਾ ॥
sur nar dayv na paavahi meetaa.
Even the angelic beings and gods cannot obtain it, O friend.
ਸਤਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਜਿਸੁ ਭੇਟਤ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਰਾਇਣਾ ॥੫॥
sat purakh satgur parmaysar jis bhaytat paar paraa-inaa. ||5||
The True Guru is the True Primal Being, the Transcendent Lord God; meeting with Him, one is carried across to the other side. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The dust of the Guru's feet makes a heart clean and bright.
Even angels and gods cannot get it, my friend.
The True Guru is the True Being, the Highest One — meeting the Guru, a person is carried across to the far shore.
Meeting the True Guru carries you across to the far shore.
Even the dust — the humblest touch — of the Guru purifies. It is so precious that even gods and angels cannot simply take it. The True Guru is the sat purakh, the true timeless Being; meeting the Guru, one is carried paar, across to the far shore.
A Question to Sit With
What feels precious precisely because it cannot be grabbed or bought?
