So love the Lord's Lotus Feet,
ਸਾਚੀ ਪੂਰਨ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਰੀਤਿ ॥੨॥
saachee pooran nirmal reet. ||2||
and live a lifestyle which is true, perfect and spotless. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When you truly love the shelter of the One, it changes how you live day to day.

Your way of being becomes honest, whole, and clear — like water you can see straight through.

Real love for the One shows up as a clear, honest way of living.
The deeper layer

charan kamal si-o laagee pareet — preet (love) for the lotus feet. saachee pooran nirmal reet — a reet (way of living) that is saach (true), pooran (whole), nirmal (spotless). Devotion showing up as conduct.

A Question to Sit With
