ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਦ ਬੇਦ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਆਪਾਰੁ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕਾਰ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Gurmukẖ nāḏ beḏ bīcẖār.  Gurmukẖ gi▫ān ḏẖi▫ān āpār.  Gurmukẖ kār kare parabẖ bẖāvai gurmukẖ pūrā pā▫iḏā. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo. The Yogi uses music to link with God and the Brahmin knowledge of (beyd) the Vedas, but for (gurmukh-i) the guru’s follower it is (beechaar-u) reflection on, and compliance with the guru’s teachings. A Gurmukh obtains (giaan-u) awareness, of and (dhiaan-u) pays attention to, live by virtues and commands of (aapaar-u) the Infinite.

A Gurmukh (karey) carries out (kaar = task) Divine commands and (bhaavai) is approved by (prabh) God; this is how a Gurmukh (paaida) finds (poora = perfect) the Almighty. 1.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਨੂਆ ਉਲਟਿ ਪਰਾਵੈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਦੁ ਵਜਾਵੈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਬੈਰਾਗੀ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

(Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru, (ulatt-i = reverses) turns back, (praavai = take far) takes away, (manooaa) the mind – from attachments to the world-play. A Gurmukh (vajaavai) plays (naad-u = sound) the music of, i.e. contemplates, (baani = words) Divine commands within.

(Ratey) imbued with love for the Almighty, the Gurmukhs (bairaagi) yearn for union with IT and (paaidaa) get to (vaasa) abide in (nij) own (ghar-i) home, i.e. achieve a stable mind focused on the Almighty. 2.

 

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸਾਖੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਭਾਖੀ ॥ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦੇ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਭਾਖੀ ॥ ਸਦਾ ਸਚਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਮਨੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

(Sadaa) ever (raata) imbued (rang-i) with love (sach-i) of the Eternal, (meyra) my (man-u) mind (samaaida) is absorbed (sach-i) in the Eternal with obedience to commands (sachey) of the Eternal. 3.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਸਤ ਸਰਿ ਨਾਵੈ ॥ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ॥ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਸਚੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

(Mail-u) dirt – of vices – does not (laagai) touch him/her and s/he (samaavai) remains absorbed (sach-i) in the Eternal.

S/he (sad hi) forever (kamaavai) practices (sacho sach-u = truth alone) Divine virtues and commands; is (drirraaida) firmly committed to (sachi) true (bhagat-i) devotion to the Almighty. 4.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਬੈਣੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਨੈਣੀ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਕਰਣੀ ॥ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਸਚੁ ਕਹੈ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਅਵਰਾ ਸਚੁ ਕਹਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥

S/he (sad hi) forever (kahai = speaks) praises and obeys (sach-u) the Eternal (din-u) day and (raati) night and motivates (avra) others (kahaaidaa = causes to speak) to praise and obey (sach-u) the Master. 5.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੀ ਊਤਮ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਵਖਾਣੀ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਸਚੋ ਸਚਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

Gurmukẖ sacẖī ūṯam baṇī.  Gurmukẖ sacẖo sacẖ vakẖāṇī.  Gurmukẖ saḏ sevėh sacẖo sacẖā gurmukẖ sabaḏ suṇā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

(Baani) words of a Gurmukh are (sachi) true and (ootam) sublime – s/he praises Divine virtues. A Gurmukh (vakhaani) speaks (sacho sach-u) truth alone – talks of Divine virtues.

A Gurmukh (sad) ever (seyvah-i = serves) obeys (sacho sachaa) the Eternal alone and (sunaaidaa = causes to hear) preaches (sabad-u = word) to live by Divine commands as (gurmukh-i) taught by the guru. 6.

Gurmukẖ hovai so sojẖī pā▫e.  Ha▫umai mā▫i▫ā bẖaram gavā▫e.  Gur kī pa▫oṛī ūṯam ūcẖī ḏar sacẖai har guṇ gā▫iḏā. ||7||

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰੁ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਏ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰੁ ॥ ਭਾਇ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਮਨੁ ਖੋਜਿ ਸੁਣਾਏ ॥ ਸਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਦਾ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਏ ॥ ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਸੀ ਜੋ ਸਚੇ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

ਜਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥ ਜਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥ ਆਪਣੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਭਾਣੈ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

ਮਨਹਠਿ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਛੀਜੈ ॥ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਭੇਖ ਕਰੇ ਨਹੀ ਭੀਜੈ ॥ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਰਾਤੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਦੁਖੇ ਦੁਖਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Manhaṯẖ karam kare so cẖẖījai.  Bahuṯe bẖekẖ kare nahī bẖījai.  Bikẖi▫ā rāṯe ḏukẖ kamāvėh ḏukẖe ḏukẖ samā▫iḏā. ||11||

Those (raatey = imbued) engrossed in (bikhiaa = poison) falsehoods/vices, (kamaavah-i) earn (dukh) pain and (samaaida) remain (dukhey dukh-i) in pain all the time – cannot unite with the Almighty. 11.

 

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਏ ॥ ਮਰਣ ਜੀਵਣ ਕੀ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਮਰਣੁ ਜੀਵਣੁ ਜੋ ਸਮ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਸੁ ਹਹਿ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੁ ॥ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਜੰਮੈ ਨਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮਨਹਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

S/he does not (marai = die) succumb to vices and hence not (jammai) born again; s/he does not (paaey) suffer (dukh-u) the pain of births and deaths; his/her (man = mind) soul (samaaida) merges (manah-i = in mind/soul) in the Supreme Spirit (hi) itself. 13.

 

ਸੇ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਜਿਨੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਆ ॥ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਫਿਰਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਦਰਿ ਸਚੈ ਸੋਭਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Se vadbẖāgī jinī saṯgur pā▫i▫ā.  Ha▫umai vicẖahu moh cẖukā▫i▫ā.  Man nirmal fir mail na lāgai ḏar sacẖai sobẖā pā▫iḏā. ||14||

Their (man-u) mind is (nirmal-u) clean, (mail-u) the filth of vices does not (laagai) touch them (phir-i) again and they (paaidaa) receive (sobha) glory/acceptance (dar-i) in court of (sachai) the Eternal. 14.

 

ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਆਪੇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਵੇਖੈ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪੇ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵੈ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਲੇਖੈ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥

ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਸਭ ਸਾਜੀ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਥਾਪਿ ਉਥਾਪਿ ਨਿਵਾਜੀ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਨਿਆਉ ਕਰੇ ਸਭੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਚੇ ਸਾਚਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

Mārū mėhlā 3.  Āpe sarisat hukam sabẖ sājī.  Āpe thāp uthāp nivājī.  Āpe ni▫ā▫o kare sabẖ sācẖā sācẖe sācẖ milā▫iḏā. ||1||

 

Composition of the third Guru in Raga Maaroo.

(Aapey = self) IT (tthap-i = pats) approves those who obey, (nivaaji) glorifies them, and (uthaap-i) disapproves those who do not obey.

IT (karey = does) delivers (sabh-u) all (saacha) true (niaau) justice and (milaaidaa) merges with IT-self (saachey = true ones) those who live by IT’s commands. 1.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਕੋਟੁ ਹੈ ਆਕਾਰਾ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਪਸਰਿਆ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਭਸਮੈ ਕੀ ਢੇਰੀ ਖੇਹੂ ਖੇਹ ਰਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੨॥

Kā▫i▫ā kot hai ākārā.  Mā▫i▫ā moh pasri▫ā pāsārā.  Bin sabḏai bẖasmai kī dẖerī kẖehū kẖeh ralā▫iḏā. ||2||

 

The creature’s (kaaiaa) body (hai) is (aakaara = form) is the place of (kott-u = fort) abode of the Creator. It also has (paasaara = expanse) plenty of (moh-u) attachments to (maaiaa) the world-play (pasriaa = spread) in it.

This body is (ddheyri) a heap (ki) of (bhasmey) dust, i.e. human birth is useless, (bin-u) without obedience (sabdai) to Divine commands; and the Creator (ralaaidaa = causes to mix) throws this (kheyhoo) dust in (kheyh) dust – rejects for union with IT and sends for rebirth. 2.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਕੰਚਨ ਕੋਟੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਰਵਿਆ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗਾਵੈ ਸਦਾ ਗੁਣ ਸਾਚੇ ਮਿਲਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥

Kā▫i▫ā kancẖan kot apārā.  Jis vicẖ ravi▫ā sabaḏ apārā.  Gurmukẖ gāvai saḏā guṇ sācẖe mil parīṯam sukẖ pā▫iḏā. ||3||

 

The human (kaaiaa) body is (kanchan) the golden (kott-u) fort of (apaara = infinite) the Creator; (vich-i) in (jis-u) which (sabad-u) commands of (apaara = infinite) of the Creator are (raviaa) present, i.e. as were given to the soul/mind by the Creator.

(Gurmukh-i) one who follows the guru – recognizes the commands within and – (sadaa) ever (gaavai = sings) praises and emulates (gun) virtues (saachey) of the Eternal; s/he (mil-i) merges with (preetam) the Beloved and (paaidaa) attains (sukh-u) peace – settles down and is not born any more. 3.

 

ਕਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਵਸੈ ਮੁਰਾਰੇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵਣਜਨਿ ਵਾਪਾਰੀ ਨਦਰੀ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੪॥

Kā▫i▫ā har manḏar har āp savāre.  Ŧis vicẖ har jī▫o vasai murāre.  Gur kai sabaḏ vaṇjan vāpārī naḏrī āp milā▫iḏā. ||4||

 

(Kaaiaa) the body is (mandar-u = house) the abode of (har-i) the Almighty, and the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (savaarey) makes it beautifully. (Jeeo) the revered (har-i) Almighty, (muraarey = killer of the demon Mur) destroyer of evil (vasai) dwells (vich-i) in (tis-u) that, in the form of Divine virtues and commands.

Those (vaapaari = merchants) human beings who (vanjan-i = do business) conduct themselves (sabad-i = with words) obeying teachings (kai) of (gur) the guru, the Almighty (nadri = with sight of grace) graciously (milaaida) merges them (aap-i) with IT-self. 4.

 

ਸੋ ਸੂਚਾ ਜਿ ਕਰੋਧੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਸਬਦੇ ਬੂਝੈ ਆਪੁ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ਕਰਤਾ ਆਪੇ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਇਦਾ ॥੫॥

So sūcẖā jė karoḏẖ nivāre.  Sabḏe būjẖai āp savāre.  Āpe kare karā▫e karṯā āpe man vasā▫iḏā. ||5||

 

(So) that person who (nivaarey) gives up (krodh-u) anger is (soocha) consecrate. S/he (boojhai) understands Divine commands (sabdey = with the word) with the guru’s guidance and (savaarey) transforms (aap-u) the self.

(Karta) the Creator (aapey = self) Almighty who (karey) creates the creatures also gives them directions (karaaey = cause to do) to perform their roles; and (aapey) IT-self (vasaaida = cause to abide) causes them to remember and act by IT’S directions. 5.

 

ਨਿਰਮਲ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੈ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ॥ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਧੋਵਹਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥

Nirmal bẖagaṯ hai nirālī.  Man ṯan ḏẖovėh sabaḏ vīcẖārī.

 

(Bhagat-i = devotion) obedience to the Almighty is (niraali) a unique way (nirmal) to cleanse the self – unlike rituals like baths and fasts. The true devotee (veechaari) contemplates (sabad-i) teachings of the guru and (dhovah-i = washes) gets rid of vices from (man-u = mind) thought and (tan-u = body) deed.

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸਦਾ ਰਹੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥੬॥

An▫ḏin saḏā rahai rang rāṯā kar kirpā bẖagaṯ karā▫iḏā. ||6||

 

S/he (andin-u = everyday, sadaa = ever) forever (rahai) remains (raata) imbued (rang-i) with love of the Almighty; and the Almighty (kar-i kirpa) kindly (karaaida = causes to do) motivates him/her to practice (bhagt-i= devotion) obedience to Divine commands. 6.

 

ਇਸੁ ਮਨ ਮੰਦਰ ਮਹਿ ਮਨੂਆ ਧਾਵੈ ॥ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਲਰਿ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਮਹਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵੈ ॥ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਆਪੇ ਖੇਲੁ ਕਰਾਇਦਾ ॥੭॥

(Mah-i) in (is-u) this (man) mind, (mandar) the abode of the Almighty there is also (manooaa = mind) the worldly aspect of the mind which (dhaavai = runs) is restless. It (tiaag-i) forsakes (sukh-u) peace considering it of no value (palar-i) like straw and (paavai) experiences (mahaa) great (dukh-u) pain – of being separated from the Almighty.

It cannot (paavai) find (tthaur = place) abode/presence of the Almighty (bin-u) without (bhettey) finding and following (satigur) the true guru; this is (kheyl-u = play) a phenomenon, (aapey = self) the Creator (karaaidaa) has created. 7.

 

ਆਪਿ ਅਪਰੰਪਰੁ ਆਪਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲੇ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰੀ ॥ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਕਾਰ ਕਰੇ ਵੇਚਾਰਾ ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥

Āp aprampar āp vīcẖārī.  Āpe mele karṇī sārī.  Ki▫ā ko kār kare vecẖārā āpe bakẖas milā▫iḏā. ||8||

The creature (veychaara = cannot have his/her way) is dependent on the Almighty and (kiaa = what?) cannot (karey) do (ko) any (kaar = task) thing to – attain union on his/her own; when the Almighty is pleased with his/her conduct, (aapey) IT-self (bakhs-i) bestows grace and (milaaida) unites with IT-self. 8.

 

ਆਪੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲੇ ਪੂਰਾ ॥ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਹਾਬਲ ਸੂਰਾ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲੇ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਸਚੇ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

Āpe saṯgur mele pūrā.  Sacẖai sabaḏ mahābal sūrā.  Āpe mele ḏe vadi▫ā▫ī sacẖe si▫o cẖiṯ lā▫iḏā. ||9||

ਘਰ ਹੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਸੋਈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਵਸਿਆ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਸਨਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥

(Saachaa) the Eternal (soi = that) Almighty is (anadar-i) in the creature’s (ghar = house) body/mind (hi) itself. (Koi) some (virla) rare person (gurmukh-i) who follows the guru’s guidance (boojhai = understands) recognizes IT within.

And one who does, has awareness of (nidhaan-u) the treasure of (naam-u) Divine virtues and commands (vasiaa) dwelling (antar-i) in his/her (ghatt) mind; s/he (dhiaaidaa) pays attention to (naam-u) virtues and emulates them. 10.

 

ਦਿਸੰਤਰੁ ਭਵੈ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਭਾਲੇ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਧਾ ਜਮਕਾਲੇ ॥ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਫਾਸੀ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਤੂਟੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਭਰਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥

Disanṯar bẖavai anṯar nahī bẖāle.  Mā▫i▫ā mohi baḏẖā jamkāle.  Jam kī fāsī kabhū na ṯūtai ḏūjai bẖā▫e bẖarmā▫iḏā. ||11||

 

One who does not follow the guru, (bhavai) wanders (disantar = between countries) outside and does not (bhaaley) search (antar-u) the inner-self; being in (moh-i) in attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play – s/he forgets the Creator – and (badhaa) is bound (jamkaaley) by the agent of Divine justice.

(Phaasi) noose (ki) of (jam) the agent to Divine justice, i.e. his/her being in cycles of reincarnation, (kabahoo na) never (toottai = breaks) ends; s/he (bharmaaidaa) keeps wandering because of (doojai = second/other, bhaaey = ideas) pursuits other than obedience to the Almighty. 11.

 

ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਹੋਰੁ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਕਮਾਹੀ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥

Jap ṯap sanjam hor ko▫ī nāhī.  Jab lag gur kā sabaḏ na kamāhī. Gur kai sabaḏ mili▫ā sacẖ pā▫i▫ā sacẖe sacẖ samā▫iḏā. ||12||

 

(Jap) recitation of mantras, (tap-u) austerities, (sanajam-u) control of organs, and (koi naahi = not any) no (hor-u) other method works. God cannot be found (jab lag-u) as long as one does not (kamaahi) comply with (sabad-u = word) teachings of (gur) the guru – to practice Naam or Divine virtues and commands.

(Sach-u) the Eternal is (paaiaa) found (miliaa = meeting) by applying the self (sabad-i = to word) to teachings (kai) of the guru; it is by obeying (sachey) the Eternal that one (samaaidaa) merges (sach-i) in the Eternal. 12.

ਕਾਮ ਕਰੋਧੁ ਸਬਲ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ ਬਹੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਹਿ ਸਭੁ ਦੁਖ ਕਾ ਪਸਾਰਾ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਸੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੩॥

Kām karoḏẖ sabal sansārā.  Baho karam kamāvėh sabẖ ḏukẖ kā pasārā.  Saṯgur sevėh se sukẖ pāvahi sacẖai sabaḏ milā▫iḏā. ||13||

 

(Sansaara = world) human beings have (sabal) strong (kaam) lust and (krodh-u) wrath – as well as greed, attachment to the world-play and vanity. At the same time they (kamaavah-i) perform (bahu) numerous (karam) rituals – pretend to look pious; (sabh-u) all this (pasaara = spread) is the cause of (dukh-u) suffering – of being separated from God.

(Sey) those who (seyvah-i) obey (satigur) the true guru, (paavah-i) attain (sukh-u) comfort, as he (milaaida) leads to finds the Almighty by obedience (sabad-i) to commands (sachai) of the Eternal. 13.

 

ਪਉਣੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਹੈ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਸਭ ਅੰਤਰਿ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾ ਤਿਸੈ ਪਛਾਣਹਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥

Pa▫uṇ pāṇī hai baisanṯar.  Mā▫i▫ā moh varṯai sabẖ anṯar.  Jin kīṯe jā ṯisai pacẖẖāṇėh mā▫i▫ā moh cẖukā▫iḏā. ||14||

 

The creatures’ bodies are made of (paun-u) air, (paani) water, (naisantar-u) fire/energy – with other elements namely earth/clay and space – and they should have their attributes. But (moh-u) attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play also (vartai) works (anatar-i) in them (sabh) all.

If one (pachhaanah-i = recognizes) understands and obeys directions of the Creator (jin-i) who (keetey) created them, this (chukaaidaa) ends (mohu) attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play – and s/he finds God within. 14.

ਇਕਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਗਰਬਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ॥ ਹਉਮੈ ਹੋਇ ਰਹੇ ਹੈ ਆਪੇ ॥ ਜਮਕਾਲੈ ਕੀ ਖਬਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਈ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਇਆ ਪਛੁਤਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੫॥

Ik mā▫i▫ā mohi garab vi▫āpe.  Ha▫umai ho▫e rahe hai āpe.  Jamkālai kī kẖabar na pā▫ī anṯ ga▫i▫ā pacẖẖuṯā▫iḏā. ||15||

 

(Ik-i = one type) some humans (viaapey) act (moh-i) with attachment to (maaiaa) the world-play in mind, and (garab) pride. (Haumai) in ego, they (hoey rahey) remain oriented to (aapey) themselves.

They do not (paai) have (khabar-i = news) awareness (ki) of (jamkaalai) messenger of Divine justice – that it keeps the erring souls away from God – and they (gaiaa) depart (pachhutaaidaa) repenting (ant-i) at the end. 15.

 

ਜਿਨਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਸੋ ਬਿਧਿ ਜਾਣੈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੇਵੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸੁ ਕਹੈ ਬੇਨੰਤੀ ਸਚਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੨॥੧੬॥

Jin upā▫e so biḏẖ jāṇai.  Gurmukẖ ḏevai sabaḏ pacẖẖāṇai. Nānak ḏās kahai benanṯī sacẖ nām cẖiṯ lā▫iḏā. ||16||2||16||
