Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Ang 327

  1. ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਹੋਤੀ ਕੋਟਿ ਉਪਾਧਿ ॥

    Before I realized God, there were millions of afflictions in my body.

  2. ਉਲਟਿ ਭਈ ਸੁਖ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਧਿ ॥

    By being intuitively attuned to Naam, these have turned into a source of peace.

  3. ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਨੈ ਆਪੈ ਆਪ ॥

    My mind has recognized its true self and it now sees God pervading everywhere,

  4. ਰੋਗੁ ਨ ਬਿਆਪੈ ਤੀਨੌ ਤਾਪ ॥੨॥

    and is no longer afflicted by any of the three kinds of maladies (physical, psychological, or social).

  5. ਅਬ ਮਨੁ ਉਲਟਿ ਸਨਾਤਨੁ ਹੂਆ ॥

    My mind has now been restored to its original purity.

  6. ਤਬ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਜਬ ਜੀਵਤ ਮੂਆ ॥

    It was realized only when my mind became detached from worldly affairs.

  7. ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵਉ ॥

    Kabeer says, I am now intuitively immersed in peace and poise.

  8. ਆਪਿ ਨ ਡਰਉ ਨ ਅਵਰ ਡਰਾਵਉ ॥੩॥੧੭॥

    I do not fear anyone, and I do not strike fear into anyone else.

  9. ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ॥

    Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

  10. ਪਿੰਡਿ ਮੂਐ ਜੀਉ ਕਿਹ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਤਾ ॥

    When the attachment to one’s body dies, where does the soul go?

  11. ਸਬਦਿ ਅਤੀਤਿ ਅਨਾਹਦਿ ਰਾਤਾ ॥

    by virtue of the Guru’s word it remains imbued in the love of infinite God.

  12. ਜਿਨਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਜਾਨਿਆ ਤਿਨਹਿ ਪਛਾਨਿਆ ॥

    One who has realized God, only he understands Him.)

  13. ਜਿਉ ਗੂੰਗੇ ਸਾਕਰ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ॥੧॥

    just as a mute person’s mind is convinced about the sweet taste of candy but can’t explain it to others.

  14. ਐਸਾ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਕਥੈ ਬਨਵਾਰੀ ॥

    Such spiritual wisdom is revealed only by God Himself.

  15. ਮਨ ਰੇ ਪਵਨ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ ਸੁਖਮਨ ਨਾਰੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    O’ my mind meditate on His Name with every breath instead of holding breath using the Sukhman way of Yogis.

  16. ਸੋ ਗੁਰੁ ਕਰਹੁ ਜਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਕਰਨਾ ॥

    Seek out such a Guru so that you don’t have to seek another Guru again.

  17. ਸੋ ਪਦੁ ਰਵਹੁ ਜਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਰਵਨਾ ॥

    Dwell in such a state of bliss so that you don’t have to seek another form of peace.

  18. ਸੋ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਧਰਹੁ ਜਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਧਰਨਾ ॥

    Embrace such a form of meditation that you don’t have to switch to another.

  19. ਐਸੇ ਮਰਹੁ ਜਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਮਰਨਾ ॥੨॥

    Die to yourself by eradicating your ego so that you don’t have to go through the cycles of birth and death.

  20. ਉਲਟੀ ਗੰਗਾ ਜਮੁਨ ਮਿਲਾਵਉ ॥

    I have so turned my thoughts away from the rituals and have directed them toward meditation on Naam as if I have reversed the natural flow of the rivers Ganges and Yamuna.

  21. ਬਿਨੁ ਜਲ ਸੰਗਮ ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਨੑਾਵਉ ॥

    I am so enjoying the meditation on God, as if I am bathing in my spiritually stable mind without the water of the three rivers.

  22. ਲੋਚਾ ਸਮਸਰਿ ਇਹੁ ਬਿਉਹਾਰਾ ॥

    Now this is the way of my life that I view everyone with same respect.

  23. ਤਤੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਕਿਆ ਅਵਰਿ ਬੀਚਾਰਾ ॥੩॥

    After Contemplating on God, what else is there to contemplate?

  24. ਅਪੁ ਤੇਜੁ ਬਾਇ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੀ ਆਕਾਸਾ ॥

    Just as the virtues of water, fire, air, earth, and sky are the same for all,

  25. ਐਸੀ ਰਹਤ ਰਹਉ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਸਾ ॥

    attuning myself to God, I am living a way of life like water, fire, air, earth, and sky which treat all alike.

  26. ਕਹੈ ਕਬੀਰ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਧਿਆਵਉ ॥

    Kabir says, I am meditating on the immaculate God;

  27. ਤਿਤੁ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਉ ਜਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਆਵਉ ॥੪॥੧੮॥

    by doing that I will attain that divine abode from where I wouldn’t have to come back.

  28. ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ਤਿਪਦੇ ॥

    Gauree, Kabeer Jee, Thi-Padhay:

  29. ਕੰਚਨ ਸਿਉ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਹੀ ਤੋਲਿ ॥

    God cannot be attained even in exchange for gold.

  30. ਮਨੁ ਦੇ ਰਾਮੁ ਲੀਆ ਹੈ ਮੋਲਿ ॥੧॥

    I have realized God by surrendering my mind to Him.

  31. ਅਬ ਮੋਹਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਅਪੁਨਾ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨਿਆ ॥

    Now I consider God as my own

  32. ਸਹਜ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    and my mind has intuitively come to believe in this.

  33. ਬ੍ਰਹਮੈ ਕਥਿ ਕਥਿ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

    The angel Brahma could not find His limit by continually reflecting on His virtues.

  34. ਰਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਬੈਠੇ ਘਰਿ ਆਇਆ ॥੨॥

    Because of devotional worship, God has come to dwell in my heart.

  35. ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਚੰਚਲ ਮਤਿ ਤਿਆਗੀ ॥

    Kabir says, I have abandoned all my mercurial intellect

  36. ਕੇਵਲ ਰਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਿਜ ਭਾਗੀ ॥੩॥੧॥੧੯॥

    and now it is my destiny to worship God only.

  37. ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ॥

    Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

  38. ਜਿਹ ਮਰਨੈ ਸਭੁ ਜਗਤੁ ਤਰਾਸਿਆ ॥

    The death which has terrified the entire world,

  39. ਸੋ ਮਰਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸਿਆ ॥੧॥

    The reality of that death has been revealed to me through the Guru’s word.

  40. ਅਬ ਕੈਸੇ ਮਰਉ ਮਰਨਿ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਿਆ ॥

    Now I shall not fall into the cycle of birth and death because my mind has already been convinced about dying to the self by living detached from Maya.

  41. ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜਾਤੇ ਜਿਨ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਨਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    Those who do not realize God, fall in the cycles of birth and death.

  42. ਮਰਨੋ ਮਰਨੁ ਕਹੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ॥

    Everyone talks about death again and again.

  43. ਸਹਜੇ ਮਰੈ ਅਮਰੁ ਹੋਇ ਸੋਈ ॥੨॥

    He alone becomes immortal who lives in a state of equipoise rising above the worldly desires.

  44. ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਮਨਿ ਭਇਆ ਅਨੰਦਾ ॥

    Kabeer says, my mind is filled with bliss;

  45. ਗਇਆ ਭਰਮੁ ਰਹਿਆ ਪਰਮਾਨੰਦਾ ॥੩॥੨੦॥

    my doubt has vanished and God dwells in my mind.

  46. ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ॥

    Gauree, Kabeer Jee:

  47. ਕਤ ਨਹੀ ਠਉਰ ਮੂਲੁ ਕਤ ਲਾਵਉ ॥

    There is no special place where pain of separation arises; where should I apply the balm?

  48. ਖੋਜਤ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਪਾਵਉ ॥੧॥

    I have searched the body but I have not found such a place.

  49. ਲਾਗੀ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਜਾਨੈ ਪੀਰ ॥

    Only the person who has experienced the pain of separation from God knows the intensity of such pain,

  50. ਰਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਅਨੀਆਲੇ ਤੀਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    because This pain of devotion of God is like suffering the pain of sharp arrows.

  51. ਏਕ ਭਾਇ ਦੇਖਉ ਸਭ ਨਾਰੀ ॥

    I see that all the soul-brides are in love with God,

  52. ਕਿਆ ਜਾਨਉ ਸਹ ਕਉਨ ਪਿਆਰੀ ॥੨॥

    how can I know which one is most dear to the Husband-God?

  53. ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ॥

    Kabee says, one who has such preordained destiny,

  54. ਸਭ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੁਹਾਗੁ ॥੩॥੨੧॥

    the Husband-God, forsaking all,comes to meet with her.
