ਪਉੜੀ ੧੪

paurree 14

ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਇਕੁ ਜਾਨਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਮਿਟਾਇਆ ।

gur paramesar ik jaan guramukh doojaa bhaau mittaaeaa |

Accepting Guru and God as one, the gurmukh has erased the sense of duality.

ਹਉਮੈ ਪਾਲਿ ਢਹਾਇ ਕੈ ਤਾਲ ਨਦੀ ਦਾ ਨੀਰੁ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ।

haumai paal dtahaae kai taal nadee daa neer milaaeaa |

Knocking down the wall of ego, the gurmukh has united the pond (self) with the river (Brahm).

ਨਦੀ ਕਿਨਾਰੈ ਦੁਹ ਵਲੀ ਇਕ ਦੂ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ।

nadee kinaarai duh valee ik doo paaraavaar na paaeaa |

Undoubtedly the river remains contained within its two banks neither one knowing the other.

ਰੁਖਹੁ ਫਲੁ ਤੈ ਫਲਹੁ ਰੁਖੁ ਇਕੁ ਨਾਉ ਫਲੁ ਰੁਖੁ ਸਦਾਇਆ ।

rukhahu fal tai falahu rukh ik naau fal rukh sadaaeaa |

From tree the fruit and from fruit the e are born and in fact both are one though they have different names.

ਛਿਅ ਰੁਤੀ ਇਕੁ ਸੁਝ ਹੈ ਸੁਝੈ ਸੁਝੁ ਨ ਹੋਰੁ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ।

chhia rutee ik sujh hai sujhai sujh na hor dikhaaeaa |

The sun is one in all the six seasons; knowing this, one does not think of different suns.

ਰਾਤੀਂ ਤਾਰੇ ਚਮਕਦੇ ਦਿਹ ਚੜਿਐ ਕਿਨਿ ਆਖੁ ਲੁਕਾਇਆ ।

raateen taare chamakade dih charriai kin aakh lukaaeaa |

At night the stars twinkle but with the break of day under whose command they hide themselves? (they automatically go and likewise with light of knowledge the darkness of ignorance is dispelled of its own).

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਇਕ ਮਨਿ ਇਕੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ।੧੪।

saadhasangat ik man ik dhiaaeaa |14|

The holy congregation, the gurmukhs adore the Lord with single-minded devotion.
