Pauree:

ਅਤੁਲੁ ਕਿਉ ਤੋਲੀਐ ਵਿਣੁ ਤੋਲੇ ਪਾਇਆ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

atul kiau toleeai vin tole paaeaa na jaae |

How can the unweighable be weighed? Without weighing Him, He cannot be obtained.

ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀਐ ਗੁਣ ਮਹਿ ਰਹੈ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

gur kai sabad veechaareeai gun meh rahai samaae |

Reflect on the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and immerse yourself in His Glorious Virtues.

ਅਪਣਾ ਆਪੁ ਆਪਿ ਤੋਲਸੀ ਆਪੇ ਮਿਲੈ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥

apanaa aap aap tolasee aape milai milaae |

He Himself weighs Himself; He unites in Union with Himself.

ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਕਹਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

tis kee keemat naa pavai kahanaa kichhoo na jaae |

His value cannot be estimated; nothing can be said about this.

ਹਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਚੀ ਬੂਝ ਦਿਤੀ ਬੁਝਾਇ ॥

hau balihaaree gur aapane jin sachee boojh ditee bujhaae |

I am a sacrifice to my Guru; He has made me realize this true realization.

ਜਗਤੁ ਮੁਸੈ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਲੁਟੀਐ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਬੂਝ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥

jagat musai amrit lutteeai manamukh boojh na paae |

The world has been deceived, and the Ambrosial Nectar is being plundered. The self-willed manmukh does not realize this.

ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਚਲਸੀ ਜਾਸੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

vin naavai naal na chalasee jaasee janam gavaae |

Without the Name, nothing will go along with him; he wastes his life, and departs.

ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਜਾਗੇ ਤਿਨੑੀ ਘਰੁ ਰਖਿਆ ਦੂਤਾ ਕਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਨ ਵਸਾਇ ॥੮॥

guramatee jaage tinaee ghar rakhiaa dootaa kaa kichh na vasaae |8|

Those who follow the Guru's Teachings and remain awake and aware, preserve and protect the home of their heart; demons have no power against them. ||8||
