Fifth Mehl:
ਕਪੜ ਭੋਗ ਵਿਕਾਰ ਏ ਹਭੇ ਹੀ ਛਾਰ ॥
kaparh bhog vikaar ay habhay hee chhaar.
Enjoyment of clothes and corrupt pleasures - all these are nothing more than dust.
ਖਾਕੁ ਲੋੁੜੇਦਾ ਤੰਨਿ ਖੇ ਜੋ ਰਤੇ ਦੀਦਾਰ ॥੨॥
khaak lorhaydaa tann khay jo ratay deedaar. ||2||
I long for the dust of the feet of those who are imbued with the Lord's Vision. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Fancy clothes and empty thrills — in the end they are just dust.
What I long for is to sit humbly with those whose eyes are full of the One.
Time near people full of the One is worth more than any luxury.
A Dakhanay shalok. 'The dust of the feet' of those filled with the One means the lowest, most humble nearness to holy people. Outer luxuries fade; that nearness lasts.
A Question to Sit With
Who makes you a better person just by being around them?
