Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 551


ਦਰਸਨ ਦੀਪ ਦੇਖਿ ਹੋਇ ਨ ਮਿਲੈ ਪਤੰਗੁ ਪਰਚਾ ਬਿਹੂੰਨ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਨ ਕਹਾਵਈ ।
darasan deep dekh hoe na milai patang parachaa bihoon gurasikh na kahaavee |

If a glimpse of the True Guru does not turn a disciple in a state that of a moth who is prepared to sacrifice himself unto his beloved lamp, then he cannot be called a true disciple of the Guru.

ਸੁਨਤ ਸਬਦ ਧੁਨਿ ਹੋਇ ਨ ਮਿਲਤ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਹੀਨੁ ਜਨਮੁ ਲਜਾਵਈ ।
sunat sabad dhun hoe na milat mrig sabad surat heen janam lajaavee |

Hearing the melodious words of True Guru, if a disciple's state does not become like that of a deer who goes into a trance at the sound of Ghanda Herha, then without lodging of Lord's name in his deep within, he has wasted his precious life.

ਗੁਰ ਚਰਨਾਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਕੈ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਰਿਦੈ ਨ ਬਿਸਵਾਸੁ ਗੁਰ ਦਾਸ ਹੁਇ ਨ ਹੰਸਾਵਈ ।
gur charanaamrit kai chaatrik na hoe milai ridai na bisavaas gur daas hue na hansaavee |

For the acquisition of Naam-like elixir from the True Guru if a disciple does not meet the True Guru with complete faith like the rain-bird yearning for the Swati drop, then he has no faith for the True Guru in his mind nor can he be His devoted follower.

ਸਤਿਰੂਪ ਸਤਿਨਾਮੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਏਕ ਟੇਕ ਸਿਖ ਜਲ ਮੀਨ ਹੁਇ ਦਿਖਾਵਈ ।੫੫੧।
satiroop satinaam satigur giaan dhiaan ek ttek sikh jal meen hue dikhaavee |551|

A devoted disciple of the True Guru engrosses his mind in the divine word, practices it and swims in the loving lap of the True Guru as a fish swims in water merrily and contented. (551)
