paurree 3

ਜਲ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਵਲੁ ਅਲਿਪਤੁ ਹੈ ਸੰਗ ਦੋਖ ਨਿਰਦੋਖ ਰਹੰਦਾ ।

jal vich kaval alipat hai sang dokh niradokh rahandaa |

The lotus residing in water remains unsmeared by it.

ਰਾਤੀ ਭਵਰੁ ਲੁਭਾਇਦਾ ਸੀਤਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਸੁਗੰਧਿ ਮਿਲੰਦਾ ।

raatee bhavar lubhaaeidaa seetal hoe sugandh milandaa |

In the night it attracts the black bee which gets coolness and fragrance from lotus.

ਭਲਕੇ ਸੂਰਜ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਧਰਿ ਪਰਫੁਲਤੁ ਹੋਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਹਸੰਦਾ ।

bhalake sooraj dhiaan dhar parafulat hoe milai hasandaa |

In the morning it again meets the sun and being glad smiles the whole day.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖ ਸੁਖ ਫਲ ਸਹਜਿ ਘਰਿ ਵਰਤਮਾਨ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਵਰਤੰਦਾ ।

guramukh sukh fal sehaj ghar varatamaan andar varatandaa |

Gurmukhs (like lotus) reside in the innate house of pleasure fruit and utilise the present time fully i.e. they don't sit idle.

ਲੋਕਾਚਾਰੀ ਲੋਕ ਵਿਚਿ ਵੇਦ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੰਦਾ ।

lokaachaaree lok vich ved veechaaree karam karandaa |

To the ordinary people busy in mundane affairs they look engrossed in the world, and, to the people pondering over Vedas they look engaged in rituals.

ਸਾਵਧਾਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੀਵਨਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਵਿਚਰੰਦਾ ।

saavadhaan gur giaan vich jeevan mukat jugat vicharandaa |

But these gurmukhs, as a result of attaining knowledge from the Guru, keep consciousness in their possession and move in the world as liberated ones.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਵਸੰਦਾ ।੩।

saadhasangat gur sabad vasandaa |3|

In the congregation of the holy person resides the Guru-word.
