ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਵਿਰਲੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
jug jug virlee gurmukh jaataa.
In each and every age, very rare are those who, as Gurmukh, realize the Lord.
ਸਾਚਾ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਮਨੁ ਰਾਤਾ ॥
saachaa rav rahi-aa man raataa.
Their minds are imbued with the True, all-pervading Lord.
ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਓਟ ਗਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਕਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
tis kee ot gahee sukh paa-i-aa man tan mail na kaa-ee hay. ||13||
Seeking His Shelter, they find peace, and their minds and bodies are not stained with filth. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In every age, a few quietly come to know the One, through the Guru.
Their minds are soaked all the way through with the True One, present everywhere.
Sheltering there, they find peace, and their hearts stay clear and clean.
A heart soaked all the way through with truth stays clear and at peace.
The rare Gurmukh (virlaa) is described as soaked (raataa) in the pervading One; the fruit is peace and an unstained heart. Rarity here is not exclusivity but depth.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you love so much that you are soaked in it, through and through?
