The foreheads of the Saintly people are marked with the Lord's insignia.
ਦਾਸ ਕੀ ਰੇਣੁ ਪਾਏ ਜੇ ਕੋਇ ॥
daas kee rayn paa-ay jay ko-ay.
One who is blessed with the dust of the feet of the Lord's slave,
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਪਰਮ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੪॥੩੫॥੪੬॥
naanak tis kee param gat ho-ay. ||4||35||46||
O Nanak, obtains the supreme status. ||4||35||46||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's saints are always welcome, always accepted.
Their foreheads carry the One's mark.
Nanak says: whoever is blessed with the dust of the feet of the One's humble servant
rises to the highest place there is.
Being near humble, loving people can quietly lift you higher.
Har kay sant sadaa parvaan — the saints are forever accepted. Mastak neesaan: their foreheads bear the One’s mark — an inner luminosity visible in the face. Daas kee rayn: the dust of the servant’s feet, humble nearness to the good, lifts others to param gat.
