ਬਿਥਾਵੰਤੇ ਬੈਦ ਰੂਪ ਜਾਚਿਕ ਦਾਤਾਰ ਗਤਿ ਗਾਹਕੈ ਬਿਆਪਾਰੀ ਹੋਇ ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਪੂਤ ਕਉ ।
bithaavante baid roop jaachik daataar gat gaahakai biaapaaree hoe maat pitaa poot kau |

Gursikhs with contemplated knowledge extend all help to the needy as an act of welfare, just as a medicine practitioner does for a patient, a donor does for a beggar, a trader for a customer and parents for their son.

ਨਾਰ ਭਿਰਤਾਰ ਬਿਧਿ ਮਿਤ੍ਰ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਤਾਈ ਰੂਪ ਸੁਜਨ ਕੁਟੰਬ ਸਖਾ ਭਾਇ ਚਾਇ ਸੂਤ ਕਉ ।
naar bhirataar bidh mitr mitrataaee roop sujan kuttanb sakhaa bhaae chaae soot kau |

As an act of benevolence, the relishers of Lord's name reach the distressed people to render them comfort They are husband to a distressed wife or vice versa, friends to friends and other loved ones; according to the defined moral code.

ਲੋਗਨ ਮੈ ਲੋਗਾਚਾਰ ਬੇਦ ਕੈ ਬੇਦ ਬੀਚਾਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਗੁਰ ਏਕੰਕਾਰ ਅਵਧੂਤ ਅਵਧੂਤ ਕਉ ।
logan mai logaachaar bed kai bed beechaar giaan gur ekankaar avadhoot avadhoot kau |

Sikhs blessed with Guru's wisdom acquire the supreme knowledge of the Lord and meet the common mortals as one of them and as intelligent and wise in the gathering of learned men. They approach the hermits as renouncers.

ਬਿਰਲੋ ਬਿਬੇਕੀ ਜਨ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰ ਹੇਤਿ ਮਿਲਤ ਸਲਿਲ ਗਤਿ ਰੰਗ ਸ੍ਰਬੰਗ ਭੂਤ ਕਉ ।੧੧੪।
biralo bibekee jan praupakaar het milat salil gat rang srabang bhoot kau |114|

Such a rational and knowledgeable Sikh is very rare who for the sake of benevolence becomes humble like water and unites with the people of all denominations. (114)
