Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Ang 60

  1. ਮਨ ਰੇ ਕਿਉ ਛੂਟਹਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਪਿਆਰ ॥

    O’ my mind, you cannot be saved (from the worldly entanglements) without the love for God.

  2. ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਬਖਸੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਭੰਡਾਰ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    God dwells in the heart of the Guru’s followers and they are blessed with the treasure of devotional worship.

  3. ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈਸੀ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਨੀਰ ॥

    O’ my mind, you should love God like a fish loves water.

  4. ਜਿਉ ਅਧਿਕਉ ਤਿਉ ਸੁਖੁ ਘਣੋ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਰੀਰ ॥

    More the water, the happier the fish feels, and it gives greater comfort to her body and peace of mind.

  5. ਬਿਨੁ ਜਲ ਘੜੀ ਨ ਜੀਵਈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਅਭ ਪੀਰ ॥੨॥

    Without the water, fish cannot live even for a moment, and God knows the pain of her separation from water.

  6. ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈਸੀ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਮੇਹ ॥

    O’ my mind, love God like the chatrik (song-bird) loves the rain.

  7. ਸਰ ਭਰਿ ਥਲ ਹਰੀਆਵਲੇ ਇਕ ਬੂੰਦ ਨ ਪਵਈ ਕੇਹ ॥

    Even if all the pools are filled with water, and the land is blossoming in green, what use is all this if the raindrop does not fall in its mouth?

  8. ਕਰਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੋ ਪਾਈਐ ਕਿਰਤੁ ਪਇਆ ਸਿਰਿ ਦੇਹ ॥੩॥

    One unites with God only through His grace, otherwise one has to endure the results of past deeds.

  9. ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈਸੀ ਜਲ ਦੁਧ ਹੋਇ ॥

    O’ my mind you should love God like water with milk.

  10. ਆਵਟਣੁ ਆਪੇ ਖਵੈ ਦੁਧ ਕਉ ਖਪਣਿ ਨ ਦੇਇ ॥

    When heated, the water bears the heat and it does not let the milk burn.

  11. ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਵਿਛੁੰਨਿਆ ਸਚਿ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਦੇਇ ॥੪॥

    (Just like that, if the separated ones surrender themselves), then God unites them with Himself and blesses them with true glory.

  12. ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈਸੀ ਚਕਵੀ ਸੂਰ ॥

    O’ my mind, have such a love for God as the chakwi (shelduck) has for the sun.

  13. ਖਿਨੁ ਪਲੁ ਨੀਦ ਨ ਸੋਵਈ ਜਾਣੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥

    She (Chakwi) does not sleep even for a moment at night, thinking the sun is very near, although it is very far away.

  14. ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥੫॥

    A self-willed person never understands this kind of love, while Guru’s followers always feel the presence of God with them.

  15. ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਗਣਤ ਗਣਾਵਣੀ ਕਰਤਾ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

    The self-willed person tries to show off counting his so-called noble deeds, but only that happens what the Creator-God does.

  16. ਤਾ ਕੀ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਜੇ ਲੋਚੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ ॥

    God’s worth cannot be estimated, even though all beings wish to do that.

  17. ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਤ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਚਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੬॥

    The worth of God’s virtues is known only through the Guru’s teachings, and inner peace wells up only by realizing the eternal God.

  18. ਸਚਾ ਨੇਹੁ ਨ ਤੁਟਈ ਜੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟੈ ਸੋਇ ॥

    If one meets and follows the true Guru’s teachings, then such a strong love develops for God, that it never breaks.

  19. ਗਿਆਨ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਸੋਝੀ ਹੋਇ ॥

    Through the Guru’s teachings, one receives the wealth of divine knowledge and understands that God is pervading the entire universe.

  20. ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਜੇ ਗੁਣ ਕਾ ਗਾਹਕੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੭॥

    If one enshrines God’s virtues within him, then he never forsakes God’s immaculate Name.

  21. ਖੇਲਿ ਗਏ ਸੇ ਪੰਖਣੂੰ ਜੋ ਚੁਗਦੇ ਸਰ ਤਲਿ ॥

    Just as birds come to peck near the pool of water and then fly away, similarly humans come in this world for a short time.

  22. ਘੜੀ ਕਿ ਮੁਹਤਿ ਕਿ ਚਲਣਾ ਖੇਲਣੁ ਅਜੁ ਕਿ ਕਲਿ ॥

    Everybody has to depart from this world after playing their role for a short while.

  23. ਜਿਸੁ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਲਹਿ ਸੋ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਾਇ ਸਚਾ ਪਿੜੁ ਮਲਿ ॥੮॥

    O’ God only that person is united with Your Name, whom You unite Yourself, and then that person departs after winning the game of life.

  24. ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਨ ਊਪਜੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

    True love for God does not develop without the Guru’s teachings, and the dirt of ego doesn’t go away.

  25. ਸੋਹੰ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੀਐ ਸਬਦਿ ਭੇਦਿ ਪਤੀਆਇ ॥

    When one’s mind is completely appeased with the Guru’s word, only then he recognizes God’s presence within him.

  26. ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੀਐ ਅਵਰ ਕਿ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਇ ॥੯॥

    When one recognizes oneself through the Guru’s teachings, then what more is left for him to do or to get done?

  27. ਮਿਲਿਆ ਕਾ ਕਿਆ ਮੇਲੀਐ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲੇ ਪਤੀਆਇ ॥

    Those who unite with God after having been appeased with the Guru’s word, there is no need to unite them again because they are never separated.

  28. ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਵੀਛੁੜਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਖਾਇ ॥

    But the self-willed person does not understand this; having been separated from God, such a person keeps on suffering.

  29. ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰੁ ਘਰੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਦੂਜੀ ਜਾਇ ॥੧੦॥੧੧॥

    O’ Nanak, only God is the support of a person's life and there is no other place for him. ||10

  30. ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥

    Siree Raag, First Guru:

  31. ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭੁਲੈ ਭੁਲਾਈਐ ਭੂਲੀ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਕਾਇ ॥

    A self-willed person strays away from the righteous path in life and finds no place for support.

  32. ਗੁਰ ਬਿਨੁ ਕੋ ਨ ਦਿਖਾਵਈ ਅੰਧੀ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

    Except the Guru, no one can show him the righteous path and blinded by Maya, one keeps wandering through the cycle of birth and death.

  33. ਗਿਆਨ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਖੋਇਆ ਠਗਿਆ ਮੁਠਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

    (Engrossed in the love for Maya and) having lost the divine wisdom, one departs from here cheated and deceived

  34. ਬਾਬਾ ਮਾਇਆ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥

    My friend, Maya deceives people with its illusion.

  35. ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲੀ ਡੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਨਾ ਪਿਰ ਅੰਕਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

    The unfortunate one lost in this illusion cannot unite with the Master-God.

  36. ਭੂਲੀ ਫਿਰੈ ਦਿਸੰਤਰੀ ਭੂਲੀ ਗ੍ਰਿਹੁ ਤਜਿ ਜਾਇ ॥

    One gone astray from the righteous way in life, abandons one’s own home (inner-self) and wanders in all kinds of rituals, as if lost in foreign lands.

  37. ਭੂਲੀ ਡੂੰਗਰਿ ਥਲਿ ਚੜੈ ਭਰਮੈ ਮਨੁ ਡੋਲਾਇ ॥

    Being lost from the right path, one climbs the mountains and dunes (performs pilgrimages and other rituals) but his mind is always wavering in doubt.

  38. ਧੁਰਹੁ ਵਿਛੁੰਨੀ ਕਿਉ ਮਿਲੈ ਗਰਬਿ ਮੁਠੀ ਬਿਲਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

    command, how can one unite with Him? Deluded by egotistical pride, he wails.

  39. ਵਿਛੁੜਿਆ ਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਨਾਮ ਪਿਆਰਿ ॥

    command, how can one unite with Him? Deluded by egotistical pride, he wails. ||2|| The Guru again unites the separated ones with God by imbuing them with the bliss of the love of God’s Name.
