Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Ang 463

  1. ਮਹਲਾ ੨ ॥

    Salok, Second Guru:

  2. ਜੇ ਸਉ ਚੰਦਾ ਉਗਵਹਿ ਸੂਰਜ ਚੜਹਿ ਹਜਾਰ ॥

    If a hundred moons were to rise and a thousand suns appeared,

  3. ਏਤੇ ਚਾਨਣ ਹੋਦਿਆਂ ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਘੋਰ ਅੰਧਾਰ ॥੨॥

    even with so much light, there would still be pitch darkness of ignorance without the Guru’s teachings. (meaning no matter how much knowledge we may obtain from other sources, without the Guru we can not get the true enlightenment or divine wisdom).

  4. ਮਃ ੧ ॥

    Salok, First Guru:

  5. ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰੂ ਨ ਚੇਤਨੀ ਮਨਿ ਆਪਣੈ ਸੁਚੇਤ ॥

    O’ Nanak, those who do not remember the Guru and who think of themselves to be very clever.

  6. ਛੁਟੇ ਤਿਲ ਬੂਆੜ ਜਿਉ ਸੁੰਞੇ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਖੇਤ ॥

    They are unwanted like the fake sesame plants which remain abandoned in the farm.

  7. ਖੇਤੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਛੁਟਿਆ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਉ ਨਾਹ ॥

    O’ Nanak, thus left alone, they look miserable like those who instead of one master have hundreds of masters (and therefore no real master)

  8. ਫਲੀਅਹਿ ਫੁਲੀਅਹਿ ਬਪੁੜੇ ਭੀ ਤਨ ਵਿਚਿ ਸੁਆਹ ॥੩॥

    The fake sesame plants seem to be flowering and flourishing but are filled with nothing but ashes. Similarly those, who do not follow the Guru’s teachings, are spiritually dead in spite of being prosperous.

  9. ਪਉੜੀ ॥

    Pauree:

  10. ਆਪੀਨੑੈ ਆਪੁ ਸਾਜਿਓ ਆਪੀਨੑੈ ਰਚਿਓ ਨਾਉ ॥

    God Himself created Himself, and He Himself created His glory.

  11. ਦੁਯੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਸਾਜੀਐ ਕਰਿ ਆਸਣੁ ਡਿਠੋ ਚਾਉ ॥

    Secondly, He fashioned the creation; pervading within the creation, He beholds it with delight.

  12. ਦਾਤਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਆਪਿ ਤੂੰ ਤੁਸਿ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਪਸਾਉ ॥

    O’ God, You Yourself are the benefactor and the Creator of all beings, and by Your Pleasure, You bestow Your grace upon them.

  13. ਤੂੰ ਜਾਣੋਈ ਸਭਸੈ ਦੇ ਲੈਸਹਿ ਜਿੰਦੁ ਕਵਾਉ ॥

    You are the Knower of all ; You give life, and take it away by Your mere word.

    Pervading within the creation, You are eagerly watching the play (of the world)

  27. ਜੋ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੇ ਸੁ ਕਚੁ ਨਿਕਚੁ ॥੧॥

    But those who are going through the cycle of birth and death are entangled in falsehood and cannot merge with God.

  46. ਓਥੈ ਸਚੇ ਹੀ ਸਚਿ ਨਿਬੜੈ ਚੁਣਿ ਵਖਿ ਕਢੇ ਜਜਮਾਲਿਆ ॥

    There, the mortals are judged solely on the bases of truth and the truth alone; the false (evil persons) are marked out and separated from the true ones.
