Ang 1386Svaiyay Sri Mukhbak Mehl 5Guru Guru Arjan

ਕਵਨੁ ਜੋਗੁ ਕਉਨੁ ਗੵਾਨੁ ਧੵਾਨੁ ਕਵਨ ਬਿਧਿ ਉਸ੍ਤਤਿ ਕਰੀਐ ॥

kavan jog kaun gayaan dhayaan kavan bidh ustat kareeai |

What is the Yoga, what is the spiritual wisdom and meditation, and what is the way, to praise the Lord?

ਸਿਧ ਸਾਧਿਕ ਤੇਤੀਸ ਕੋਰਿ ਤਿਰੁ ਕੀਮ ਨ ਪਰੀਐ ॥

sidh saadhik tetees kor tir keem na pareeai |

The Siddhas and seekers and the three hundred thirty million gods cannot find even a tiny bit of the Lord's Value.

ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾਦਿਕ ਸਨਕਾਦਿ ਸੇਖ ਗੁਣ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਏ ॥

brahamaadik sanakaad sekh gun ant na paae |

Neither Brahma, nor Sanak, nor the thousand-headed serpent king can find the limits of His Glorious Virtues.

ਅਗਹੁ ਗਹਿਓ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਇ ਪੂਰਿ ਸ੍ਰਬ ਰਹਿਓ ਸਮਾਏ ॥

agahu gahio nahee jaae poor srab rahio samaae |

The Inapprehensible Lord cannot be apprehended. He is pervading and permeating amongst all.

ਜਿਹ ਕਾਟੀ ਸਿਲਕ ਦਯਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਸੇਇ ਜਨ ਲਗੇ ਭਗਤੇ ॥

jih kaattee silak dayaal prabh see jan lage bhagate |

Those whom God has mercifully freed from their nooses - those humble beings are attached to His devotional worship.

ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜਿਨੑ ਪਰਸਿਓ ਤੇ ਇਤ ਉਤ ਸਦਾ ਮੁਕਤੇ ॥੮॥

har gur naanak jina parasio te it ut sadaa mukate |8|

Those who meet with the Lord through Guru Nanak are liberated forever, here and hereafter. ||8||
