Japji Sahib · Pauri 21

ਭਰੀਐ ਹਥੁ ਪੈਰੁ ਤਨੁ ਦੇਹ ॥ਪਾਣੀ ਧੋਤੈ ਉਤਰਸੁ ਖੇਹ ॥ਮੂਤ ਪਲੀਤੀ ਕਪੜੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ਦੇ ਸਾਬੂਣੁ ਲਈਐ ਓਹੁ ਧੋਇ ॥ਭਰੀਐ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਪਾ ਕੈ ਸੰਗਿ ॥ਓਹੁ ਧੋਪੈ ਨਾਵੈ ਕੈ ਰੰਗਿ ॥ਪੁੰਨੀ ਪਾਪੀ ਆਖਣੁ ਨਾਹਿ ॥ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਣਾ ਲਿਖਿ ਲੈ ਜਾਹੁ ॥ਆਪੇ ਬੀਜਿ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਖਾਹੁ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੀ ਆਵਹੁ ਜਾਹੁ ॥੨੦॥

Bharee-ai hath pair tan dayh. Paanee dhotai utras khayh. Moot paleetee kaparh ho-ay. Day saaboon la-ee-ai oh dho-ay. Bharee-ai mat paapaa kai sang. Oh dhopai naavai kai rang. Punnee paapee aakhan naahi. Kar kar karnaa likh lai jaahu. Aapay beej aapay hee khaahu. Nanak hukmee aavhu jaahu.

When the hand, foot, or body is soiled — water washes the dust away. When clothing is defiled — soap is given and it is washed. When the mind is soiled with sin — it is washed in the dye of the Name. 'Virtuous' and 'sinner' are not just labels — they reflect what one does. Keep doing what you do — that is what is written, that is what you carry. As you sow, so you eat. Nanak says — by Hukam you come, by Hukam you go.
