ਗੂਜਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥

goojaree mahalaa 3 |

Goojaree, Third Mehl:

ਰਾਮ ਰਾਮ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਕਹਿਐ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

raam raam sabh ko kahai kahiai raam na hoe |

Everyone chants the Lord's Name, Raam, Raam; but by such chanting, the Lord is not obtained.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥

gur parasaadee raam man vasai taa fal paavai koe |1|

By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and then, the fruits are obtained. ||1||

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਜਿਸੁ ਲਾਗੈ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ॥

antar govind jis laagai preet |

One who enshrines love for God within his mind,

ਹਰਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਮਨਿ ਚੀਤਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

har tis kade na veesarai har har kareh sadaa man cheet |1| rahaau |

never forgets the Lord; he continually chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, in his conscious mind. ||1||Pause||

ਹਿਰਦੈ ਜਿਨੑ ਕੈ ਕਪਟੁ ਵਸੈ ਬਾਹਰਹੁ ਸੰਤ ਕਹਾਹਿ ॥

hiradai jina kai kapatt vasai baaharahu sant kahaeh |

Those whose hearts are filled with hypocrisy, who are called saints only for their outward show

ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਚੁਕਈ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਏ ਪਛੁਤਾਹਿ ॥੨॥

trisanaa mool na chukee ant ge pachhutaeh |2|

- their desires are never satisfied, and they depart grieving in the end. ||2||

ਅਨੇਕ ਤੀਰਥ ਜੇ ਜਤਨ ਕਰੈ ਤਾ ਅੰਤਰ ਕੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

anek teerath je jatan karai taa antar kee haumai kade na jaae |

Although one may bathe at many places of pilgrimage, still, his ego never departs.

ਜਿਸੁ ਨਰ ਕੀ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਨ ਜਾਇ ਧਰਮ ਰਾਇ ਤਿਸੁ ਦੇਇ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

jis nar kee dubidhaa na jaae dharam raae tis dee sajaae |3|

That man, whose sense of duality does not depart - the Righteous Judge of Dharma shall punish him. ||3||

ਕਰਮੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥

karam hovai soee jan paae guramukh boojhai koee |

That humble being, unto whom God showers His Mercy, obtains Him; how few are the Gurmukhs who understand Him.

ਨਾਨਕ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਾਂ ਹਰਿ ਭੇਟੈ ਸੋਈ ॥੪॥੪॥੬॥

naanak vichahu haumai maare taan har bhettai soee |4|4|6|

O Nanak, if one conquers his ego within, then he comes to meet the Lord. ||4||4||6||
