ਸੰਤਹੁ ਰਾਮਦਾਸ ਸਰੋਵਰੁ ਨੀਕਾ ॥
santahu raamdaas sarovar neekaa.
O Saints, the purifying pool of Ram Das is sublime.
ਜੋ ਨਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਕੁਲੁ ਤਰਾਵੈ ਉਧਾਰੁ ਹੋਆ ਹੈ ਜੀ ਕਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo naavai so kul taraavai uDhaar ho-aa hai jee kaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Whoever bathes in it, his family and ancestry are saved, and his soul is saved as well. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is a clear, healing pool where the good-hearted gather.
Whoever bathes in it is lifted -- and lifts their whole family along with them.
When one person in a family turns toward the good, everyone feels it.
The Rahau: raamdaas sarovar neekaa. Literally the sacred pool associated with Guru Ram Das; more deeply, the gathering of the good-hearted where a heart is washed. One person's turning toward the good lifts a whole family (kul taraavai).
A Question to Sit With
How does one person's kindness ripple out to the people around them?
