Therefore, the above stanzas are interpreted scientifically and logically as follows: [I]Some clean (untainted) persons1 do not understand that the company of sinful persons2 and love for the atheists3[/I] [I]is not good; it is only understood through the company5 of wise persons4. [/I] [B]In continuation of the above Sloka finally Guru Nanak explains his philosophy to become a clean person as follows:[/B] sMq1 sBw2 jYkwru3 kir gurmuiK4 krm5 kmwau ] inrmlu6 n@wvxu7 nwnkw guru qIrQu8 drIAwau9 ]10] Nanak says: [I]Say victory3 to the company2 of the clean persons1, who conduct good4 deeds5.[/I] [I]Cleansing of mind by practicing sacred8 principles of Guru’s philosophy 9 is called the real cleansing6 bath7.[/I] To understand the above phrase, guru qIrQu8 drIAwau9, in its real perspective, let us study the following stanzas of Guru Nanak: guru1 pauVI, byVI gurU, guru qulhw hir nwau2 ] guru sru swgru boihQo3 guru qIrQu dirAwau ] jy iqsu BwvY4 aUjlI5 sqsir6 nwvx7 jwau ]3] Aggs, m 1, p-17.
