Touching the philosopher's stone in the form of gurmukh all the eight metals transform into gold i.e. all the people become pure.

They are like Ganges in which all the rivers and rivulets merge and become full of vitality.

Gurmukhs re the swans of Manasamvar who are not perturbed by other cravings.

The Sikhs of the Guru are the paramharisas, the swans of the highest order

So do not mix up with ordinary ones and their sight is not easily available.

ਚਰਣ ਸਰਣ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਪਰਸ ਅਪਰਸਣਾ ।

Craving reposed in the shelter of Guru, even the so called untouchables become honourable.
