O wise ones, without the Guru, there is no devotional worship.
ਕੋਰੈ ਰੰਗੁ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਚੜੈ ਜੇ ਲੋਚੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

The untreated cloth does not take up the dye, no matter how much everyone may wish it. ||1||Pause||
ਜਪੁ ਤਪ ਸੰਜਮ ਵਰਤ ਕਰੇ ਪੂਜਾ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਰੋਗੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ॥
jap tap sanjam varat kare poojaa manamukh rog na jaaee |
The self-willed manmukh may perform chants, meditations, austere self-discipline, fasts and devotional worship, but his sickness does not go away.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਰੋਗੁ ਮਹਾ ਅਭਿਮਾਨਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਖੁਆਈ ॥੨॥

Deep within him is the sickness of excessive egotism; in the love of duality he is ruined. ||2||

baahar bhekh bahut chaturaaee manooaa deh dis dhaavai |
Outwardly, he wears religious robes and he is very clever, but his mind wanders in the ten directions.

haumai biaapiaa sabad na cheenai fir fir joonee aavai |3|
Engrossed in ego, he does not remember the Word of the Shabad; over and over again, he is reincarnated. ||3||
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਸੋ ਬੂਝੈ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ॥
naanak nadar kare so boojhai so jan naam dhiaae |
O Nanak, that mortal who is blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace, understands Him; that humble servant meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਏਕੋ ਬੂਝੈ ਏਕਸੁ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥੪॥੪॥
gur parasaadee eko boojhai ekas maeh samaae |4|4|
By Guru's Grace, he understands the One Lord, and is absorbed into the One Lord. ||4||4||
