Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Anyone who keeps close to the good can be lifted — the good makes even the struggling clean.
A devoted person who was once pushed away and mistreated was kept safe and cared for.
The verse names Naam Dayv — the calico-printer saint — who "was driven out by the evil villains as he sang Your Praises; O God, You protected the honor of Your servant." The story: Naam Dayv, a low-caste devotee, was pushed away from a temple, yet his devotion was honored and protected. The teaching: those who love the good are kept safe even when others mistreat them, and no one's low status shuts them out. The qMonk voice keeps this gently — a devoted person, once pushed away, was cared for. For a child: someone who loved the good was once pushed away and mistreated — and was kept safe and cared for anyway.
How does it feel to know that being treated unfairly isn't the end of the story?
