Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What stain could possibly be left on a person once they hold the One's Name in their heart?
Even those weighed down with wrongs come out clean, just by keeping the Name.
Naam Dayv states the tradition's radical mercy as a rhetorical question: when you're genuinely turned toward the One, "whose blemishes remain?" None. "Sinners become pure, chanting the Lord's Name." Coming from a low-caste saint whom the society of his day treated as impure by birth, this is doubly powerful: purity is not about your caste, your ancestry, or your record of mistakes — it's about the turning of your heart, available to absolutely anyone. The Name doesn't scrub selectively; it makes the most burdened person clean.
Is a person's worth about where they came from and their past, or about who they choose to be now?
