ਪਉੜੀ ੧੪

paurree 14

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੁਖ ਫਲ ਪਿਰਮ ਰਸੁ ਹੁਇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਮੇਲਾ ।

guramukh sukh fal piram ras hue gurasikh melaa |

After meeting the Guru i.e. after adopting the teachings of the Guru, the gurmukh receives the pleasure-fruit of the joy of love.

ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਪਰਚਾਇ ਕੈ ਨਿਤ ਨੇਹੁ ਨਵੇਲਾ ।

sabad surat parachaae kai nit nehu navelaa |

The Guru merges the consciousness of the disciple into the Word and creates ever-new love for the Lord in it.

ਵੀਹ ਇਕੀਹ ਚੜਾਉ ਚੜਿ ਸਿਖ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਚੇਲਾ ।

veeh ikeeh charraau charr sikh gur gur chelaa |

Thus getting above the worldliness, the disciple becomes Guru and the Guru disciple.

ਅਪਿਉ ਪੀਐ ਅਜਰੁ ਜਰੈ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵ ਸੁਹੇਲਾ ।

apiau peeai ajar jarai gur sev suhelaa |

Now he quaffs the unbearable drink of the juice of love and further bears the unbearable. But all this becomes possible only through the service of the Guru

ਜੀਵਦਿਆ ਮਰਿ ਚਲਣਾ ਹਾਰਿ ਜਿਣੈ ਵਹੇਲਾ ।

jeevadiaa mar chalanaa haar jinai vahelaa |

(To attain the delight of love) One has to put to death his ego and by becoming indifferent to the world has to conquer it.

ਸਿਲ ਅਲੂਣੀ ਚਟਣੀ ਲਖ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਪੇਲਾ ।੧੪।

sil aloonee chattanee lakh amrit pelaa |14|

One who has licked this tasteless (unsalty) stone i.e. who has adopted the way of desireless devotion, he alone throws away myriads of delights equal to the immortalising elixirs.
