ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਰੇਣੁ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
satgur kee rayn vadbhaagee paavai.
By great good fortune, one obtains the dust of the feet of the True Guru.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਸਦ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥੪॥੧੬॥੨੨॥
naanak gur ka-o sad bal jaavai. ||4||16||22||
Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the True Guru. ||4||16||22||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
To sit humbly at the feet of the teaching — even to value the dust there — is a gift of great good fortune.
For that, I feel endless thankfulness, again and again.
Humility before what is wise is itself a piece of good fortune.
satgur kee rayn vadbhaagee paavai — the rayn (dust of the feet), obtained by vadbhaagee (great fortune) — an image of deep humility. naanak gur ka-o sad bal jaavai — endless gratitude. ||4||16||22||.
