ਪਉੜੀ ॥

paurree |

Pauree:

ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਸੋਈ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਥਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਤਾ ॥

har mandar soee aakheeai jithahu har jaataa |

That alone is said to be the Lord's temple, where the Lord is known.

ਮਾਨਸ ਦੇਹ ਗੁਰ ਬਚਨੀ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਭੁ ਆਤਮ ਰਾਮੁ ਪਛਾਤਾ ॥

maanas deh gur bachanee paaeaa sabh aatam raam pachhaataa |

In the human body, the Guru's Word is found, when one understands that the Lord, the Supreme Soul, is in all.

ਬਾਹਰਿ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਖੋਜੀਐ ਘਰ ਮਾਹਿ ਬਿਧਾਤਾ ॥

baahar mool na khojeeai ghar maeh bidhaataa |

Don't look for Him outside your self. The Creator, the Architect of Destiny, is within the home of your own heart.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਹਰਿ ਮੰਦਰ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਤਿਨੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਤਾ ॥

manamukh har mandar kee saar na jaananee tinee janam gavaataa |

The self-willed manmukh does not appreciate the value of the Lord's temple; they waste away and lose their lives.

ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਇਕੁ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਈ ॥੧੨॥

sabh meh ik varatadaa gurasabadee paaeaa jaaee |12|

The One Lord is pervading in all; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He can be found. ||12||
