ਗੁਰਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਰੰਗੇ ਰਾਤਾ ॥

guraparasaadee range raataa |

By Guru's Grace, one is attuned to the Lord's Love.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਆ ਸਾਚੇ ਮਾਤਾ ॥

amrit peea saache maataa |

Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, he is intoxicated with the Truth.

ਗੁਰ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਅਗਨਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੀ ॥

gur veechaaree agan nivaaree |

Contemplating the Guru, the fire within is put out.

ਅਪਿਉ ਪੀਓ ਆਤਮ ਸੁਖੁ ਧਾਰੀ ॥

apiau peeo aatam sukh dhaaree |

Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, the soul settles in peace.

ਸਚੁ ਅਰਾਧਿਆ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਤਰੁ ਤਾਰੀ ॥

sach araadhiaa guramukh tar taaree |

Worshipping the True Lord in adoration, the Gurmukh crosses over the river of life.

ਨਾਨਕ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥੬੩॥

naanak boojhai ko veechaaree |63|

O Nanak, after deep contemplation, this is understood. ||63||

ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮੈਗਲੁ ਕਹਾ ਬਸੀਅਲੇ ਕਹਾ ਬਸੈ ਇਹੁ ਪਵਨਾ ॥

eihu man maigal kahaa baseeale kahaa basai ihu pavanaa |

"Where does this mind-elephant live? Where does the breath reside?

ਕਹਾ ਬਸੈ ਸੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਉਧੂ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਚੂਕੈ ਮਨ ਕਾ ਭਵਨਾ ॥

kahaa basai su sabad aaudhoo taa kau chookai man kaa bhavanaa |

Where should the Shabad reside, so that the wanderings of the mind may cease?"

ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲੇ ਤਾ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਪਾਏ ॥

nadar kare taa satigur mele taa nij ghar vaasaa ihu man paae |

When the Lord blesses one with His Glance of Grace, he leads him to the True Guru. Then, this mind dwells in its own home within.

ਆਪੈ ਆਪੁ ਖਾਇ ਤਾ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਧਾਵਤੁ ਵਰਜਿ ਰਹਾਏ ॥

aapai aap khaae taa niramal hovai dhaavat varaj rahaae |

When the individual consumes his egotism, he becomes immaculate, and his wandering mind is restrained.

ਕਿਉ ਮੂਲੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਆਤਮੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਕਿਉ ਸਸਿ ਘਰਿ ਸੂਰੁ ਸਮਾਵੈ ॥

kiau mool pachhaanai aatam jaanai kiau sas ghar soor samaavai |

"How can the root, the source of all be realized? How can the soul know itself? How can the sun enter into the house of the moon?"

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਖੋਵੈ ਤਉ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ॥੬੪॥

guramukh haumai vichahu khovai tau naanak sahaj samaavai |64|

The Gurmukh eliminates egotism from within; then, O Nanak, the sun naturally enters into the home of the moon. ||64||

ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਵਸੀਅਲੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਮੂਲੁ ਪਛਾਣਿ ਰਹੈ ॥

eihu man nihachal hiradai vaseeale guramukh mool pachhaan rahai |

When the mind becomes steady and stable, it abides in the heart, and then the Gurmukh realizes the root, the source of all.

ਨਾਭਿ ਪਵਨੁ ਘਰਿ ਆਸਣਿ ਬੈਸੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਖੋਜਤ ਤਤੁ ਲਹੈ ॥

naabh pavan ghar aasan baisai guramukh khojat tat lahai |

The breath is seated in the home of the navel; the Gurmukh searches, and finds the essence of reality.

ਸੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਆਛੈ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣ ਜੋਤਿ ਸੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਲਹੈ ॥

su sabad nirantar nij ghar aachhai tribhavan jot su sabad lahai |

This Shabad permeates the nucleus of the self, deep within, in its own home; the Light of this Shabad pervades the three worlds.

ਖਾਵੈ ਦੂਖ ਭੂਖ ਸਾਚੇ ਕੀ ਸਾਚੇ ਹੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਸਿ ਰਹੈ ॥

khaavai dookh bhookh saache kee saache hee tripataas rahai |

Hunger for the True Lord shall consume your pain, and through the True Lord, you shall be satisfied.

ਅਨਹਦ ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਣੀ ਬਿਰਲੋ ਕੋ ਅਰਥਾਵੈ ॥

anahad baanee guramukh jaanee biralo ko arathaavai |

The Gurmukh knows the unstruck sound current of the Bani; how rare are those who understand.

ਨਾਨਕੁ ਆਖੈ ਸਚੁ ਸੁਭਾਖੈ ਸਚਿ ਰਪੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਜਾਵੈ ॥੬੫॥

naanak aakhai sach subhaakhai sach rapai rang kabahoo na jaavai |65|

Says Nanak, one who speaks the Truth is dyed in the color of Truth, which will never fade away. ||65||

ਜਾ ਇਹੁ ਹਿਰਦਾ ਦੇਹ ਨ ਹੋਤੀ ਤਉ ਮਨੁ ਕੈਠੈ ਰਹਤਾ ॥

jaa ihu hiradaa deh na hotee tau man kaitthai rahataa |

"When this heart and body did not exist, where did the mind reside?

ਨਾਭਿ ਕਮਲ ਅਸਥੰਭੁ ਨ ਹੋਤੋ ਤਾ ਪਵਨੁ ਕਵਨ ਘਰਿ ਸਹਤਾ ॥

naabh kamal asathanbh na hoto taa pavan kavan ghar sahataa |

When there was no support of the navel lotus, then in which home did the breath reside?
