Just as the water of streams and rivers does not sink the wood, it (water) has the shame of the fact that it has irrigated and brought the wood up;

Just as a son commits many mistakes but his mother who has given him birth never recounts them (she still keeps loving him).

Just as a culprit who may have myriad vices is not killed by a brave warrior in whose refuge he may have come, the warrior protects him and thus fulfils his virtuous traits.

Similarly the supreme benevolent True Guru does not dwell on any of the faults of His Sikhs. He is like touch of philosopher-stone (True Guru removes dross of the Sikhs in His refuge and makes them gold-like precious and pure). (536)
