paurree 9

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚਾ ਪੰਥੁ ਹੈ ਸਿਖੁ ਸਹਜ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਇ ਖਲੋਵੈ ।

guramukh sachaa panth hai sikh sehaj ghar jaae khalovai |

The way of gurmukhs is that way of truth treading which, the Sikh automatically stabilizes in his innate nature.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਰਹਰਾਸਿ ਹੈ ਪੈਰੀਂ ਪੈ ਪਾ ਖਾਕੁ ਜੁ ਹੋਵੈ ।

guramukh sach raharaas hai paireen pai paa khaak ju hovai |

The conduct of gurmukhs is true; touching of the feet and becoming of dust of the feet i.e. getting most humble is their active behaviour.

ਗੁਰੁਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਨਾਵਣਾ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਲੈ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮਲੁ ਧੋਵੈ ।

gurusikhee daa naavanaa guramat lai duramat mal dhovai |

The ablution in Sikh-life is washing away of evil propensities by adopting the wisdom of the Guru (gurmat).

ਗੁਰੁਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਪੂਜਣਾ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਪੂਜ ਪਿਰਮ ਰਸੁ ਭੋਵੈ ।

gurusikhee daa poojanaa gurasikh pooj piram ras bhovai |

Worship in Sikh-life is the worship (service) to the Sikhs of the Guru and getting drenched in the shower of love of the dear Lord.

ਗੁਰੁਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਮੰਨਣਾ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਗਲਿ ਹਾਰੁ ਪਰੋਵੈ ।

gurusikhee daa mananaa gur bachanee gal haar parovai |

Wearing the words of the Guru like garland, is the accepting of the will of the Lord.

ਗੁਰੁਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਜੀਂਵਦਿਆਂ ਮਰਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਖੋਵੈ ।

gurusikhee daa jeevanaa jeenvadiaan mar haumai khovai |

Life of a gursikh is being dead i.e. losing one's ego while alive.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦ ਵਿਲੋਵੈ ।੯।

saadhasangat gur sabad vilovai |9|

In such a life the word of the Guru is churned in the holy congregation.
