That person who bathes in the Name of the Divine is pure, and is never polluted again.
– Guru Amar Das Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 1234
Message: The Name of the Divine in Gurbani denotes the qualities of the Divine in all their infinity. In fact, it is the power, the grace and the loving presence of the Almighty.
Since the Almighty is beyond any physical manifestation, His Name refers to His divine presence full of the infinite and limitless divine qualities, such as compassion, forgiveness, love etc.
Thus bathing in the Divine Name is a poetic way to describe how the devotee immerses in learning about the divine qualities of the Creator and how one can live a fruitful life while imbibing these qualities through the teachings of Gurbani.
Such a person becomes pure in all aspects and free of all vicious thoughts. He or she never gets engrossed in the filth of sinful actions.
