For a devoted Sikh of the Guru, a lump of earth and gold are equal in value. Thus, praise and slander for him are the same.
For that devoted Sikh, both fragrance and foul smell means nothing. So he treats both friend and foe alike.
For him the taste of poison is not different from that of nectar. He feels the touch of water and fire alike.
He treats comforts and distresses alike. These two emotions do not influence him. By the benign and magnificence of a True Guru, who has blessed him with Naam, he achieves emancipation while living a house-holder's life. (104)
