ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਚਰਮ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਦਿਬਿ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਹੁਇ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਲੋਚਨ ਅਛਤ ਅੰਧ ਕੰਧ ਹੈ ।

guramat charam drisatt dib drisatt hue duramat lochan achhat andh kandh hai |

Accepting the initiation sermon of the True Guru turns the outward vision of a person into divine vision. But the base wisdom makes a person blind despite the presence of eyes. Such a person is bereft of knowledge.

ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਕੈ ਬਜਰ ਕਪਾਟ ਖੁਲੇ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਕਠਿਨ ਕਪਾਟ ਸਨਬੰਧ ਹੈ ।

guramat surat kai bajar kapaatt khule duramat katthin kapaatt sanabandh hai |

With the sermon of the True Guru, the tight shut doors of the consciousness become ajar whereas this does not happen in the case of a person of base wisdom and self will.

ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਰਸ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਪਾਨ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਦੁਰਬਚਨ ਦੁਰਗੰਧ ਹੈ ।

guramat prem ras amrit nidhaan paan duramat mukh durabachan duragandh hai |

By adopting the counsel of the True Guru, one relishes the elixir of God's love perpetually. But base wisdom emanates foul smell from the mouth as a result of ill and bad words spoken.

ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਸਹਜ ਸੁਭਾਇ ਨ ਹਰਖ ਸੋਗ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਬਿਗ੍ਰਹ ਬਿਰੋਧ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਸੰਧਿ ਹੈ ।੧੭੬।

guramat sehaj subhaae na harakh sog duramat bigrah birodh krodh sandh hai |176|

Adopting the wisdom of True Guru produces true love and peace. He is never touched by happiness or sorrow in this state. However, base wisdom remains a cause of discord, quarrels and distress. (176)
