ਸਬਦਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਭਵਸਾਗਰੁ ਤਰੀਐ ਇਤ ਉਤ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੈ ॥

sabad guroo bhavasaagar tareeai it ut eko jaanai |

The Shabad is the Guru, to carry you across the terrifying world-ocean. Know the One Lord alone, here and hereafter.

ਚਿਹਨੁ ਵਰਨੁ ਨਹੀ ਛਾਇਆ ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥੫੯॥

chihan varan nahee chhaaeaa maaeaa naanak sabad pachhaanai |59|

He has no form or color, shadow or illusion; O Nanak, realize the Shabad. ||59||

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਸਤ ਅੰਗੁਲ ਵਾਈ ਅਉਧੂ ਸੁੰਨ ਸਚੁ ਆਹਾਰੋ ॥

trai sat angul vaaee aaudhoo sun sach aahaaro |

O reclusive hermit, the True, Absolute Lord is the support of the exhaled breath, which extends out ten finger lengths.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੋਲੈ ਤਤੁ ਬਿਰੋਲੈ ਚੀਨੈ ਅਲਖ ਅਪਾਰੋ ॥

guramukh bolai tat birolai cheenai alakh apaaro |

The Gurmukh speaks and churns the essence of reality, and realizes the unseen, infinite Lord.

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਮੇਟੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਵਸਾਏ ਤਾ ਮਨਿ ਚੂਕੈ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੋ ॥

trai gun mettai sabad vasaae taa man chookai ahankaaro |

Eradicating the three qualities, he enshrines the Shabad within, and then, his mind is rid of egotism.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਗੈ ਪਿਆਰੋ ॥

antar baahar eko jaanai taa har naam lagai piaaro |

Inside and out, he knows the One Lord alone; he is in love with the Name of the Lord.

ਸੁਖਮਨਾ ਇੜਾ ਪਿੰਗੁਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਾ ਆਪੇ ਅਲਖੁ ਲਖਾਏ ॥

sukhamanaa irraa pingulaa boojhai jaa aape alakh lakhaae |

He understands the Sushmana, Ida and Pingala, when the unseen Lord reveals Himself.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਹੁ ਤੇ ਊਪਰਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥੬੦॥

naanak tihu te aoopar saachaa satigur sabad samaae |60|

O Nanak, the True Lord is above these three energy channels. Through the Word, the Shabad of the True Guru, one merges with Him. ||60||

ਮਨ ਕਾ ਜੀਉ ਪਵਨੁ ਕਥੀਅਲੇ ਪਵਨੁ ਕਹਾ ਰਸੁ ਖਾਈ ॥

man kaa jeeo pavan katheeale pavan kahaa ras khaaee |

"The air is said to be the soul of the mind. But what does the air feed on?

ਗਿਆਨ ਕੀ ਮੁਦ੍ਰਾ ਕਵਨ ਅਉਧੂ ਸਿਧ ਕੀ ਕਵਨ ਕਮਾਈ ॥

giaan kee mudraa kavan aaudhoo sidh kee kavan kamaaee |

What is the way of the spiritual teacher, and the reclusive hermit? What is the occupation of the Siddha?"

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਰਸੁ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਅਉਧੂ ਹਉਮੈ ਪਿਆਸ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥

bin sabadai ras na aavai aaudhoo haumai piaas na jaaee |

Without the Shabad, the essence does not come, O hermit, and the thirst of egotism does not depart.

ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਸੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਾਚੇ ਰਹੇ ਅਘਾਈ ॥

sabad rate amrit ras paaeaa saache rahe aghaaee |

Imbued with the Shabad, one finds the ambrosial essence, and remains fulfilled with the True Name.

ਕਵਨ ਬੁਧਿ ਜਿਤੁ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਰਹੀਐ ਕਿਤੁ ਭੋਜਨਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਸੈ ॥

kavan budh jit asathir raheeai kit bhojan tripataasai |

"What is that wisdom, by which one remains steady and stable? What food brings satisfaction?"

ਨਾਨਕ ਦੁਖੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਸਮ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਪੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਕਾਲੁ ਨ ਗ੍ਰਾਸੈ ॥੬੧॥

naanak dukh sukh sam kar jaapai satigur te kaal na graasai |61|

O Nanak, when one looks upon pain and pleasure alike, through the True Guru, then he is not consumed by Death. ||61||

ਰੰਗਿ ਨ ਰਾਤਾ ਰਸਿ ਨਹੀ ਮਾਤਾ ॥

rang na raataa ras nahee maataa |

If one is not imbued with the Lord's Love, nor intoxicated with His subtle essence,

ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੈ ਜਲਿ ਬਲਿ ਤਾਤਾ ॥

bin gurasabadai jal bal taataa |

without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he is frustrated, and consumed by his own inner fire.

ਬਿੰਦੁ ਨ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਭਾਖਿਆ ॥

bind na raakhiaa sabad na bhaakhiaa |

He does not preserve his semen and seed, and does not chant the Shabad.

ਪਵਨੁ ਨ ਸਾਧਿਆ ਸਚੁ ਨ ਅਰਾਧਿਆ ॥

pavan na saadhiaa sach na araadhiaa |

He does not control his breath; he does not worship and adore the True Lord.

ਅਕਥ ਕਥਾ ਲੇ ਸਮ ਕਰਿ ਰਹੈ ॥

akath kathaa le sam kar rahai |

But one who speaks the Unspoken Speech, and remains balanced,

ਤਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਆਤਮ ਰਾਮ ਕਉ ਲਹੈ ॥੬੨॥

tau naanak aatam raam kau lahai |62|

O Nanak, attains the Lord, the Supreme Soul. ||62||
