ਆਦਿ ਕਉ ਬਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ਕਥੀਅਲੇ ਸੁੰਨ ਨਿਰੰਤਰਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਲੀਆ ॥

aad kau bisamaad beechaar katheeale sun nirantar vaas leea |

We can only express a sense of wonder about the beginning. The absolute abided endlessly deep within Himself then.

ਅਕਲਪਤ ਮੁਦ੍ਰਾ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੀਅਲੇ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਆ ॥

akalapat mudraa gur giaan beechaareeale ghatt ghatt saachaa sarab jeea |

Consider freedom from desire to be the ear-rings of the Guru's spiritual wisdom. The True Lord, the Soul of all, dwells within each and every heart.

ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਅਵਿਗਤਿ ਸਮਾਈਐ ਤਤੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਸਹਜਿ ਲਹੈ ॥

gur bachanee avigat samaaeeai tat niranjan sahaj lahai |

Through the Guru's Word, one merges in the absolute, and intuitively receives the immaculate essence.

ਨਾਨਕ ਦੂਜੀ ਕਾਰ ਨ ਕਰਣੀ ਸੇਵੈ ਸਿਖੁ ਸੁ ਖੋਜਿ ਲਹੈ ॥

naanak doojee kaar na karanee sevai sikh su khoj lahai |

O Nanak, that Sikh who seeks and finds the Way does not serve any other.

ਹੁਕਮੁ ਬਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਜੀਅ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਸਚੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ॥

hukam bisamaad hukam pachhaanai jeea jugat sach jaanai soee |

Wonderful and amazing is His Command; He alone realizes His Command and knows the true way of life of His creatures.

ਆਪੁ ਮੇਟਿ ਨਿਰਾਲਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਜੋਗੀ ਕਹੀਐ ਸੋਈ ॥੨੩॥

aap mett niraalam hovai antar saach jogee kaheeai soee |23|

One who eradicates his self-conceit becomes free of desire; he alone is a Yogi, who enshrines the True Lord deep within. ||23||

ਅਵਿਗਤੋ ਨਿਰਮਾਇਲੁ ਉਪਜੇ ਨਿਰਗੁਣ ਤੇ ਸਰਗੁਣੁ ਥੀਆ ॥

avigato niramaaeil upaje niragun te saragun theea |

From His state of absolute existence, He assumed the immaculate form; from formless, He assumed the supreme form.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਰਚੈ ਪਰਮ ਪਦੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਾਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਮਾਇ ਲੀਆ ॥

satigur parachai param pad paaeeai saachai sabad samaae leea |

By pleasing the True Guru, the supreme status is obtained, and one is absorbed in the True Word of the Shabad.

ਏਕੇ ਕਉ ਸਚੁ ਏਕਾ ਜਾਣੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਦੂਰਿ ਕੀਆ ॥

eke kau sach ekaa jaanai haumai doojaa door keea |

He knows the True Lord as the One and only; he sends his egotism and duality far away.

ਸੋ ਜੋਗੀ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕਮਲੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸੁ ਥੀਆ ॥

so jogee gurasabad pachhaanai antar kamal pragaas theea |

He alone is a Yogi, who realizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad; the lotus of the heart blossoms forth within.

ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਤਾ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਸੂਝੈ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਸਰਬ ਦਇਆ ॥

jeevat marai taa sabh kichh soojhai antar jaanai sarab deaa |

If one remains dead while yet alive, then he understands everything; he knows the Lord deep within himself, who is kind and compassionate to all.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਾਈ ਆਪੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਆ ॥੨੪॥

naanak taa kau milai vaddaaee aap pachhaanai sarab jeea |24|

O Nanak, he is blessed with glorious greatness; he realizes himself in all beings. ||24||

ਸਾਚੌ ਉਪਜੈ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਸਾਚੇ ਸੂਚੇ ਏਕ ਮਇਆ ॥

saachau upajai saach samaavai saache sooche ek meaa |

We emerge from Truth, and merge into Truth again. The pure being merges into the One True Lord.

ਝੂਠੇ ਆਵਹਿ ਠਵਰ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਆਵਾ ਗਉਣੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

jhootthe aaveh tthavar na paaveh doojai aavaa gaun bheaa |

The false come, and find no place of rest; in duality, they come and go.

ਆਵਾ ਗਉਣੁ ਮਿਟੈ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਆਪੇ ਪਰਖੈ ਬਖਸਿ ਲਇਆ ॥

aavaa gaun mittai gurasabadee aape parakhai bakhas leaa |

This coming and going in reincarnation is ended through the Word of the Guru's Shabad; the Lord Himself analyzes and grants His forgiveness.

ਏਕਾ ਬੇਦਨ ਦੂਜੈ ਬਿਆਪੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਸਾਇਣੁ ਵੀਸਰਿਆ ॥

ekaa bedan doojai biaapee naam rasaaein veesariaa |

One who suffers from the disease of duality, forgets the Naam, the source of nectar.

ਸੋ ਬੂਝੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁ ਮੁਕਤੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

so boojhai jis aap bujhaae gur kai sabad su mukat bheaa |

He alone understands, whom the Lord inspires to understand. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is liberated.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਾਰੇ ਤਾਰਣਹਾਰਾ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੂਜਾ ਪਰਹਰਿਆ ॥੨੫॥

naanak taare taaranahaaraa haumai doojaa parahariaa |25|

O Nanak, the Emancipator emancipates one who drives out egotism and duality. ||25||

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਭੂਲੈ ਜਮ ਕੀ ਕਾਣਿ ॥

manamukh bhoolai jam kee kaan |

The self-willed manmukhs are deluded, under the shadow of death.

ਪਰ ਘਰੁ ਜੋਹੈ ਹਾਣੇ ਹਾਣਿ ॥

par ghar johai haane haan |

They look into the homes of others, and lose.
