One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:
ਰਾਗੁ ਗੂਜਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਚਉਪਦੇ ਘਰੁ ੧ ॥
raag goojaree mahalaa 1 chaupade ghar 1 |
Raag Goojaree, First Mehl, Chau-Padhay, First House:
ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰੀ ਚਨਣਾਠੀਆ ਜੇ ਮਨੁ ਉਰਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥
teraa naam karee chananaattheea je man urasaa hoe |
I would make Your Name the sandalwood, and my mind the stone to rub it on;
ਕਰਣੀ ਕੁੰਗੂ ਜੇ ਰਲੈ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਪੂਜਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥
karanee kungoo je ralai ghatt antar poojaa hoe |1|
for saffron, I would offer good deeds; thus, I perform worship and adoration within my heart. ||1||
ਪੂਜਾ ਕੀਚੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਪੂਜ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
poojaa keechai naam dhiaaeeai bin naavai pooj na hoe |1| rahaau |
Perform worship and adoration by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; without the Name, there is no worship and adoration. ||1||Pause||
ਬਾਹਰਿ ਦੇਵ ਪਖਾਲੀਅਹਿ ਜੇ ਮਨੁ ਧੋਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥
baahar dev pakhaaleeeh je man dhovai koe |
If one were to wash his heart inwardly, like the stone idol which is washed on the outside,
ਜੂਠਿ ਲਹੈ ਜੀਉ ਮਾਜੀਐ ਮੋਖ ਪਇਆਣਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥
jootth lahai jeeo maajeeai mokh peaanaa hoe |2|
his filth would be removed, his soul would be cleansed, and he would be liberated when he departs. ||2||
ਪਸੂ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਚੰਗਿਆਈਆ ਖੜੁ ਖਾਵਹਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਦੇਹਿ ॥
pasoo mileh changiaaeea kharr khaaveh amrit dehi |
Even beasts have value, as they eat grass and give milk.
ਨਾਮ ਵਿਹੂਣੇ ਆਦਮੀ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇਹਿ ॥੩॥
naam vihoone aadamee dhrig jeevan karam karehi |3|
Without the Naam, the mortal's life is cursed, as are the actions he performs. ||3||
ਨੇੜਾ ਹੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਿਅਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੰਮੑਾਲੇ ॥
nerraa hai door na jaaniahu nit saare samaale |
The Lord is hear at hand - do not think that He is far away. He always cherishes us, and remembers us.
ਜੋ ਦੇਵੈ ਸੋ ਖਾਵਣਾ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚਾ ਹੇ ॥੪॥੧॥
jo devai so khaavanaa kahu naanak saachaa he |4|1|
Whatever He gives us, we eat; says Nanak, He is the True Lord. ||4||1||
