ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਰਤਾ ਰਾਮ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥ ਸਰਬਸੁ ਦੀਜੈ ਅਪਨਾ ਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਈਐ ਬਿਸਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਸਾਸਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੧॥

Man ṯan raṯā rām pi▫āre   Sarbas ḏījai apnā vāre   Āṯẖ pahar govinḏ guṇ gā▫ī▫ai bisar na ko▫ī sāsā jī▫o ||1||

 

Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Maajh. When (man-u) the mind and (tan-u) body (rataa) are imbued with love of (piaarey) the Beloved Master; one (deejai) is prepared to (vaarey) sacrifice (apna = own) one’s (sarbas-u) everything – in obedience of the Almighty.

In this state, one (gaaeeai = sings) praises (gun) virtues of (govind = master of the world) the Almighty (aatth = eight x pahar = three hours – twenty four hours) day and night, not (bisar-u) to forget for (koee = any) even for one (saasaa = breath) moment. 1.

 

ਸੋਈ ਸਾਜਨ ਮੀਤੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਬੀਚਾਰਾ ॥ ਸਾਧੂ ਸੰਗਿ ਤਰੀਜੈ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਕਟੀਐ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਫਾਸਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥

So▫ī sājan mīṯ pi▫ārā   Rām nām sāḏẖsang bīcẖārā   Sāḏẖū sang ṯarījai sāgar katī▫ai jam kī fāsā jī▫o ||2||

 

(Soee) only that is my (piaara) dear (saajan meet-u) friend; who (beechaara) reflects on/leads life by (naam-u) commands of (raam) the Almighty (saadhsang-i) with company/guidance of the guru.

One (tareejai = swims) overcomes (saagar-u) the world-ocean of vices and (katteeai = cuts) obviates (phaasa) the noose of (jam) Divine justice, is not taken to task for any wrongdoing. 2.

 

Note: There are certain things that the humans wish to have and others to avoid. The wishes may include to achieve ਚਾਰਿ ਪਦਾਰਥ (Chaar Padarath) the four potentials – of Dharam = righteousness, Arth = economic wellbeing, Kaam = fulfilment of desires and aspirations and Mokh = release from bondage of vices and reincarnation. People are also enamoured of ਪਾਰਜਾਤੁ (paarjaat) a tree in Hindu mythology that fulfils desires. The right thinking people also like to keep away from the vices like lust, anger, greed, attachment and vanity. The next verse says that one can achieve everything by remaining conscious of, and conforming to, Divine commands/natural laws.

 

ਚਾਰਿ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ॥ ਪਾਰਜਾਤੁ ਜਪਿ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਵਾ ॥ ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਗੁਰਿ ਕਾਟੇ ਪੂਰਨ ਹੋਈ ਆਸਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥

Cẖār paḏārath har kī sevā   Pārjāṯ jap alakẖ abẖevā   Kām kroḏẖ kilbikẖ gur kāte pūran ho▫ī āsā jī▫o ||3||

 

(Chaar-i) the four (padaarath = things) potentials are achieved by (seyva = service) obeying Divine commands; (jap-i) remembrance/obedience of (alakh = without signs) the unseen and (abheyva= unfolded mysteries) unknown Almighty achieves everything for which people wish to get theillusory (parjaat-u) wish-fulfilling tree.

(Aasa) the wish to find the Almighty (hoee) is (pooran) fulfilled when (gur-i) the guru (kaattey = cuts) helps to be rid of (kilbikh) the vices of (kaam-u) lust/craving and (krodh-u) anger/impatience. 3.

 

ਪੂਰਨ ਭਾਗ ਭਏ ਜਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ॥ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਸਾਰੰਗਪਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਜਿਸੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਗਿਰਸਤ ਉਦਾਸਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੪॥੪੦॥੪੭॥

(Praani) the person (jis-u) who (hoey) has (pooran = perfect) good (bhaag) fortune; s/he (miley) finds (saarangpaani = provider of water to the rain bird) the benevolent Almighty, (saadsang-i = company of guru) by joining the holy congregation.

One (anatar-i) in (jis-u = whom) whose mind (naam-u) Naam/Divine commands (vasiaa) abides is (parvaana) accepted whether (udaasa = withdrawn) an ascetic (girst = household) householder, says fifth Nanak. 4. 40. 47.

Note: Raga Maajh is musical mode for the rainy season. Befittingly this Shabad, and many others preceding and following it in this Raga are about rain. This is one of the characteristics of Gurbani – the contents of compositions match the Ragas. Another Raga for the rainy season is Malaar which comes later in Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
