Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The sweet taste of the Naam of the One is the fountain of all sweetness. Following the Guru's teaching, I drank it, and I became glad.
Even rusty scrap iron turns to gold by joining the Sangat. Through the Guru, the One's light is placed in the heart.
Joining the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — can change anyone, the way scrap iron might turn into gold.
raam naam ras raam rasaa-in — the sweetness of the Name is rasaa-in, the fountain all sweetness flows from. ras pee-aa gurmat rasbhaa — drinking it, following the Guru, I have become glad.
loh manoor kanchan mil sangat — even loh manoor, rusty scrap iron, turns into kanchan, gold, by joining the Sangat. har ur Dhaari-o gur haribhaa — through the Guru, the One's light is placed in the heart.
Think of a scruffy, worn-out puppy at a shelter. A loving family takes it home, and it becomes bright and happy. No one is too rusty to change. Nobody is ever written off.
Who or what has helped bring out the best in you, even when you felt worn down?
