Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the holy places the gods set up long for the dust of the feet of the holy.
When I meet the One's saint, the holy Guru, I take the dust of the Guru's feet and put it on my face.
Every holy place longs for the same thing: to be near a humble, loving heart.
Jitnay tirath dayvee thaapay: all the holy places the gods set up long for the dust of the holy. Then the verse turns personal. When I meet the Guru, the holy one, lai tis kee dhoor mukh laa-ee, I put that dust on my face.
That is a picture of deep humility. It is like a young player who watches their hero closely and copies how they live, simply to learn. We learn goodness by staying close to people who live turned toward the One.
Whose humble example would you most like to learn from?
