ਜੈਸੇ ਕਾਚੋ ਪਾਰੋ ਮਹਾ ਬਿਖਮ ਖਾਇਓ ਨ ਜਾਇ ਮਾਰੇ ਨਿਹਕਲੰਕ ਹੁਇ ਕਲੰਕਨ ਮਿਟਾਵਈ ।
jaise kaacho paaro mahaa bikham khaaeio na jaae maare nihakalank hue kalankan mittaavee |Just as raw mercury is very harmful to eat but when treated and processed, it becomes edible and a medicine to cure many ailments.
ਤੈਸੇ ਮਨ ਸਬਦ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਮਾਰਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਮੋਟਿ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰੀ ਹੁਇ ਬਿਕਾਰਨ ਘਟਾਵਈ ।
taise man sabad beechaar maar haumai mott praupakaaree hue bikaaran ghattaavee |So should the mind be treated with the words of wisdom of the Guru. Dispelling ego and pride, then becoming benevolent it reduces other vices. It frees the evil and vice-ridden people from evil deeds.
ਸਾਧੁਸੰਗਿ ਅਧਮੁ ਅਸਾਧੁ ਹੁਇ ਮਿਲਤ ਚੂਨਾ ਜਿਉ ਤੰਬੋਲ ਰਸੁ ਰੰਗੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਾਵਈ ।
saadhusang adham asaadh hue milat choonaa jiau tanbol ras rang pragattaavee |When a lowly person joins the saintly congregation, he too becomes superior just as lime when joined by a betel leaf and other ingredients yield beautiful red colour.
ਤੈਸੇ ਹੀ ਚੰਚਲ ਚਿਤ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਚਤੁਰ ਕੁੰਟ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਸੁਖ ਸੰਪਟ ਸਮਾਵਈ ।੨੫੮।
taise hee chanchal chit bhramat chatur kuntt charan kamal sukh sanpatt samaavee |258|So would a base and frolicsome mind wandering in four directions get absorbed in the blissful spiritual state by coming into the refuge of the holy feet of the True Guru and the blessing of the saintly assembly.
