Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Honor the person whose heart is truly clean and kind inside.
Such a person has a wise, discerning heart, and is a friend to everyone.
The good is everywhere — reflect on wisdom and you'll see it.
A truly good person is a friend to everyone — with no one left out.
The Pauree praises the pure-hearted: "bow to that humble being whose heart is pure within... he has a discriminating intellect... that True Guru is a friend to all; everyone is dear to Him." A truly good person befriends everyone — no one left out. For a child: a truly good person is a friend to everyone, with no one left out.
