ਪਉੜੀ ੩

paurree 3

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਖਣਾ ਨਾਦੁ ਨ ਵੇਦ ਨ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣੈ ।

gurasikhee daa sikhanaa naad na ved na aakh vakhaanai |

The discipline of the discipleship of the Guru is ineffable for the Vedas and all the melodies.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਲਿਖਣਾ ਲਖ ਨ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਗੁਪਤਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਜਾਣੈ ।

gurasikhee daa likhanaa lakh na chitr gupat likh jaanai |

Even Chitragupt, the writer of the accounts of the actions of the people, does not know how to write about the spirit of Sikh life.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਣੋਂ ਸੇਖ ਅਸੰਖ ਨ ਰੇਖ ਸਿਾਣੈ ।

gurasikhee daa simaranon sekh asankh na rekh siaanai |

The glory of simaran, remembrance of the name of the Lord, cannot be known by myriad Seanags (thousand hooded mythical snake).

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਵਰਤਮਾਨੁ ਵੀਹ ਇਕੀਹ ਉਲੰਘਿ ਪਛਾਣੈ ।

gurasikhee daa varatamaan veeh ikeeh ulangh pachhaanai |

The conduct of the Sikh spirit can be known only by going beyond the worldly phenomena.

ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਬੁਝਣਾ ਗਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕਿਵ ਆਣੈ ।

gurasikhee daa bujhanaa giaan dhiaan andar kiv aanai |

How can anybody understand the Sikh way of life or Gursikhi through learning and contemplation alone?

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਮਾਣੁ ਨਿਮਾਣੈ ।

gur parasaadee saadhasang sabad surat hoe maan nimaanai |

By the grace of the Guru, in the holy congregation, the gursikh concentrating his consciousness in the Word sheds pride and becomes humble.

ਭਾਇ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਰੰਗੁ ਮਾਣੈ ।੩।

bhaae bhagat viralaa rang maanai |3|

A rare one may enjoy the pleasure of loving devotion.
