ਪਉੜੀ ੯

paurree 9

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਵੈਦੁ ਨ ਸੇਵਿਓ ਰੋਗੀ ਵੈਦੁ ਨ ਰੋਗੁ ਮਿਟਾਵੈ ।

satigur vaid na sevio rogee vaid na rog mittaavai |

The true physician in the form of true Guru (God) has never been served; then how could a physician who himself is diseased remove the malady of others?

ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਲੋਭੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਧ੍ਰੋਹੁ ਵਧਾਵੈ ।

kaam krodh vich lobh mohu dubidhaa kar kar dhrohu vadhaavai |

These worldly physicians who themselves are engrossed in the lust, anger, greed, infatuation, deceive people and enhance their diseases.

ਆਧਿ ਬਿਆਧਿ ਉਪਾਧਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਦੁਖਿ ਵਿਹਾਵੈ ।

aadh biaadh upaadh vich mar mar jamai dukh vihaavai |

This way man involved in these ailments goes on transmigrating and remains full of suffering.

ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ਭਵਾਈਐ ਭਵਜਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ।

aavai jaae bhavaaeeai bhavajal andar paar na paavai |

He goes stray by coming and going and becomes unable to go across the world-ocean.

ਆਸਾ ਮਨਸਾ ਮੋਹਣੀ ਤਾਮਸੁ ਤਿਸਨਾ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ।

aasaa manasaa mohanee taamas tisanaa saant na aavai |

Hopes and desires always attract his mind and being guided by evil propensities he never attains peace.

ਬਲਦੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਤੇਲੁ ਪਾਇ ਕਿਉ ਮਨੁ ਮੂਰਖੁ ਅਗਿ ਬੁਝਾਵੈ ।

baladee andar tel paae kiau man moorakh ag bujhaavai |

How could a manmukh extinguish fire by putting oil on it?

ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੇ ਵਿਣੁ ਕਉਣੁ ਛੁਡਾਵੈ ।੯।

gur poore vin kaun chhuddaavai |9|

Who except the perfect Guru can liberate man from these bondage's?
