paurree 9

ਨਥਿ ਚਲਾਏ ਨਵੈ ਨਾਥਿ ਨਾਥਾ ਨਾਥੁ ਅਨਾਥ ਸਹਾਈ ।

nath chalaae navai naath naathaa naath anaath sahaaee |

Though, the gurmukh subdues the nine naths (ascetic yogis) yet he considers himself as without any father i.e. most humble, and God as the father of the fatherless ones.

ਨਉ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਫੁਰਮਾਨ ਵਿਚਿ ਪਰਮ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਗਿਆਨ ਗੁਰਭਾਈ ।

nau nidhaan furamaan vich param nidhaan giaan gurabhaaee |

Nine treasures are in his command and the great ocean of knowledge goes with him like his brother.

ਨਉ ਭਗਤੀ ਨਉ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ।

nau bhagatee nau bhagat kar guramukh prem bhagat liv laaee |

Neo devotees practise nine types of ritualistic devotion but gurmukh remains immersed in the loving devotion.

ਨਉ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਸਾਧ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਸਤ ਵਿਚਿ ਪੂਰੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ।

nau grih saadh grihasat vich poore satigur dee vaddiaaee |

With the blessings of the Guru and living the household life, he controls all the nine planets.

ਨਉਖੰਡ ਸਾਧ ਅਖੰਡ ਹੋਇ ਨਉ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਲੰਘਿ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਜਾਈ ।

naukhandd saadh akhandd hoe nau duaar langh nij ghar jaaee |

Even conquering the nine divisions of earth, he never gets broken up and, going above the illusions of nine doors of body, hecomes to reside in his own self.

ਨਉ ਅੰਗ ਨੀਲ ਅਨੀਲ ਹੋਇ ਨਉ ਕੁਲ ਨਿਗ੍ਰਹ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਈ ।

nau ang neel aneel hoe nau kul nigrah sehaj samaaee |

From nine numbers have been counted infinite numbers, and controlling the nine pleasures (ras) in the body, gurmukh stays in the equipoise.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੁਖ ਫਲੁ ਅਲਖੁ ਲਖਾਈ ।੯।

guramukh sukh fal alakh lakhaaee |9|

Only gurmukhs receive the unattainable fruit of the supreme delight.
