Ang 1Kabit SavaiyeBhai Gurdas

ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਆਪਾ ਖੋਇ ਗੁਰਦਾਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਬਾਲ ਬੁਧਿ ਸੁਧਿ ਨ ਕਰਤ ਮੋਹ ਦ੍ਰੋਹ ਕੀ ।

sabad surat aapaa khoe guradaas hoe baal budh sudh na karat moh droh kee |

One becomes true disciple only by getting the divine word of Guru absorbed in the mind and becoming a humble slave of the Guru. For virtually a possessor of the child-like wisdom, he is free of deceit and infatuations.

ਸ੍ਰਵਨ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਸਮ ਤੁਲ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਲਿਵ ਲੋਚਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਿਵ ਕੰਚਨ ਅਉ ਲੋਹ ਕੀ ।

sravan usatat nindaa sam tul surat liv lochan dhiaan liv kanchan aau loh kee |

Since his consciousness is engrossed in the name of the Lord; he is least affected by praise or rejection.

ਨਾਸਕਾ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਬਿਰਗੰਧ ਸਮਸਰਿ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਜਿਹਬਾ ਸਮਾਨਿ ਬਿਖ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨ ਬੋਹ ਕੀ ।

naasakaa sugandh biragandh samasar taa kai jihabaa samaan bikh amrit na boh kee |

Fragrance and foul smell, poison or elixir are the same for him, because his (devotee's) conscious is absorbed in Him.

ਕਰ ਚਰ ਕਰਮ ਅਕਰਮ ਅਪਥ ਪਥ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਬਿਰਤਿ ਸਮ ਉਕਤਿ ਨ ਦ੍ਰੋਹ ਕੀ ।੧੦੭।

kar char karam akaram apath path kirat birat sam ukat na droh kee |107|

He remains stable and uniform even if he uses his hands in good or indifferent deeds; or treads path not worthy of appreciation. Such a devotee never harbours any feeling of deceit, falsehood or ill deeds. (107)
