Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those dyed in the Naam are like spotless places of pilgrimage. The pain and dirt of ego are washed away from them.
Nanak says: I wash the feet of those who face the Guru and love the True One.
A person full of the Name becomes a sacred place.
The verse says naam ratay tirath say nirmal. Those dyed in the Name are pure tirath, places of pilgrimage. The sacred place is inside them. This is a theme that keeps returning: the inside matters before the outside. Then dukh ha-umai mail chukaa-i-aa: the pain and dirt of ego are washed away, like mud rinsed off shoes after rain.
In the closing line Guru Nanak says naanak tin kay charan pakhaalai: Nanak washes the feet of those who love the True One. Washing feet is a sign of deep humility and honor. It lifts up the humble.
Who in your life feels like a person you'd travel a long way just to be near?
