Context:
नानक पाहै बाहरा कोरै रंगु न सोइ ॥
O Nanak, without treatment, the raw fabric cannot be dyed.

भै विचि खु्मबि चड़ाईऐ सरमु पाहु तनि होइ ॥
In the Fear of God it is bleached white, if the treatment of modesty is applied to the cloth of the body.

नानक भगती जे रपै कूड़ै सोइ न कोइ ॥
O Nanak, if one is imbued with devotional worship, his reputation is not false.

दइआ कपाह संतोखु सूतु जतु गंढी सतु वटु ॥
Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot and truth the twist.

Which Fear is the highest?
What is the meaning of 'Fear of God'?
How to empty the mind?
