VJKK VJKF Ji

In Ang 100 the first line translation says, rayn santan kee mayrai mukh laagee.

I applied the dust of the feet of the Saints to my face.What does this mean, ' I applied the dust of the saints to my face'?

exactly what is says ji.

But why have you titled this topic "THE Guru Granth Sahib Ji"? Adding "the" is not very respectful.

that means u should be humble to saints ...

u think if applying ashes of saints feet would make someone great , there would be so many great people in this world , spiritually !

Many things in Guru Granth sahib have to be taken metaphorically if that has to make sense in broader scope of sikhi ...

So , whenever guru mentions "be feet of santan or sangat" , it means be humble to all ..

otherwise , no use of applying ashes...

A similar verse is

"Ram dass sarovar naate utre paap kamaate" ( Bathing in ramdas sarovar , my sins have washed away ) . You think a guru which ridicules the idea of going to ganga ghat and getting sins washed by dipping there would say "yeah come take a dip in harmandar sahib and ur paap will go away "..

if that were the case , people can do paap and get their washed away at ramdas sarovar .

So , obviously guru is speaking of naam da sarovar in which soul has to take a dip !
