ਜੈਤਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਘਰੁ ੨         ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Jaiṯsarī mėhlā 4 gẖar 2     Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

 

Composition of the fourth Guru in Raga Jaitsri, (ghar-u 2) to be sung to the second beat.  Invoking the One all-pervasive Creator who may be known with the true guru’s grace/guidance.

 

Note: This Shabad by the fourth Guru identifies Har-i/God with Naam. The Guru emphasizes that it is by the guru-taught practice of Naam or emulating Divine virtues and obeying Divine commands that one attains peace. In other words, we should remain conscious of the Almighty – thus avoiding transgressions – and carry out our allotted role in life sincerely. This is best done with guidance of the true guru.

 

Note: It would be noticed that every line in this Shabad first states virtues of the Almighty and then says they are understood by finding the guru. It is, as the first says, because God is unfathomable but mysteries of the Divine can be understood by looking at the life of the true guru, who teaches, and emulates those virtues.

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਹੁ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਦੁਖੁ ਮਿਟੈ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਮਿਲਾਵਹੁ ਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ਰਾਮ ॥੧॥

Har har simrahu agam apārā.  Jis simraṯ ḏukẖ mitai hamārā.  Har har saṯgur purakẖ milāvhu gur mili▫ai sukẖ ho▫ī rām. ||1||

 

O human beings, (simrah-u) remember and conform to virtues and commands of (har-i har-i) the Almighty who is (agam) beyond reach/comprehension and (apaara) Infinite, i.e. has all powers beyond comprehension and is unattached to/unaffected by the world-play; (simrat) remembering to obey (jis-u) whom (hamaara) our (dukh-u) agony – of separation from IT – (mittai = erased) can end.

O (har-i har-i) Almighty, please (milavah-u) lead us to (purakh-u) the great (satigur-u) true guru, so that (miliai) by meeting (gur-i) the guru – and following his guidance and example, we live by Divine virtues and commands – and (hoee = happens) experience (sukh-u) solace. 1.

(Sunaavh-u) narrate to me (amrit) the life giving (bachan) words, i.e. Divine commands; let us find the guru, for it is (miliai) by finding and following the guru, that the Almighty (pargatt-u hoee = manifests) is found within. 2.

Maḏẖusūḏan har māḏẖo parānā.  Merai man ṯan amriṯ mīṯẖ lagānā.  Har har ḏa▫i▫ā karahu gur melhu purakẖ niranjan so▫ī rām. ||3||

 

(Madhsoodan = killer of the demon Madh, madho = husband of Laxmi the goddess of wealth – both refer to Vishnu, metaphor for –) the Almighty is the Master of (praana) life; (amrit) the life giving elixir of IT’s virtues (lagaana) is found (meetth = sweet) agreeable by (meyrai) my (man-i) mind and (tan-i) body, i.e. my thoughts and actions are guided by Divine virtues and commands.

O (har-i har-i) Almighty, please (daiaa karh-u) be kind to (meylh-u = cause to meet) lead me to the guru, by following whose teachings, (soee = that) You, (niranjan-u = unstained) the pristine Master, are found. 3. 

 

ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਰੰਗਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਰਾਤਾ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਮਹਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲਹੁ ਗੁਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ਰਾਮ ॥੪॥੧॥੭॥

Har har nām saḏā sukẖ▫ḏāṯa.  Har kai rang merā man rāṯā.  Har har mahā purakẖ gur melhu gur Nānak nām sukẖ ho▫ī rām. ||4||1||7||

 

Conformance (har-i har-i) the purifying and revitalising to (naam-u) commands of Almighty (sukhdaata = giver of peace) gives peace; (meyra) my (man-u) mind is (raata) imbued (rang-i) with love of the Almighty.

O Almighty, please (meylh-u) lead me to (mahaa = great, purakh-u = person) the blessed guru, because (sukh-u) peace (hoee = happens) is experienced by living (naam-i) by Naam as taught by (gur) the guru. 4. 1. 7.

Note: We perform numerous types of rituals hoping to unite with the Creator. However these are not of help. What is needed is to recall what the Creator told the soul before birth and live by it as guide. This is practice of Naam and above any other religious practice. One should do this guided by the guru, says the fourth Guru in this Shabad.

The Almighty is (atul-u) not weighable, IT’s (tol-u) weight is (at-i) very (bhaari) great, i.e. living by Divine virtues is invaluable; may I (umaahaa = zealously) lovingly (jap-i) remember and practice virtues and commands of (har-i) the Almighty (gurmat-i) with the guru’s guidance. 3.

 

ਸਭਿ ਕਰਮ ਧਰਮ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਾਹਾ ॥ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਮੈਲੁ ਪਾਪ ਧੋਵਾਹਾ ॥ ਦੀਨ ਦਇਆਲ ਹੋਹੁ ਜਨ ਊਪਰਿ ਦੇਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਓਮਾਹਾ ਰਾਮ ॥੪॥੫॥੧੧॥
