ਜੈਸੇ ਤਉ ਅਸਟ ਧਾਤੂ ਡਾਰੀਅਤ ਨਾਉ ਬਿਖੈ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਰੈ ਤਾਹਿ ਤਊ ਵਾਰ ਪਾਰ ਸੋਈ ਹੈ ।
jaise tau asatt dhaatoo ddaareeat naau bikhai paar parai taeh taoo vaar paar soee hai |As a bundle of eight metals loaded in a boat will reach the other bank without any change in its form or colour during transit,
ਸੋਈ ਧਾਤੁ ਅਗਨਿ ਮੈ ਹਤ ਹੈ ਅਨਿਕ ਰੂਪ ਤਊ ਜੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਪੈ ਸੁ ਘਾਟ ਠਾਟ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ ।
soee dhaat agan mai hat hai anik roop taoo joee soee pai su ghaatt tthaatt hoee hai |When these metals are put in fire, they melt and acquire the form of fire. It is then turned into beautiful ornaments of metal better looking than each individually.
ਸੋਈ ਧਾਤੁ ਪਾਰਸਿ ਪਰਸ ਪੁਨਿ ਕੰਚਨ ਹੁਇ ਮੋਲ ਕੈ ਅਮੋਲਾਨੂਪ ਰੂਪ ਅਵਲੋਈ ਹੈ ।
soee dhaat paaras paras pun kanchan hue mol kai amolaanoop roop avaloee hai |But when it comes in contact with philosopher-stone, it turns into gold. Beside becoming invaluable, it also becomes beautiful and attractive to look at.
ਪਰਮ ਪਾਰਸ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਿ ਪਾਰਸ ਹੋਤ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਹੁਇ ਸਾਧਸੰਗ ਸਤਸੰਗ ਪੋਈ ਹੈ ।੧੬੬।
param paaras gur paras paaras hot sangat hue saadhasang satasang poee hai |166|Similarly in the company of God-oriented and holy men, one becomes holy. Meeting with True Guru, the Supreme of all philosopher-stones, one becomes like a philosopher-stone. (166)
