paurree 16

ਰਤਨਾ ਦੇਖੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਰਤਨ ਪਾਰਖੂ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਕੋਈ ।

ratanaa dekhai sabh ko ratan paarakhoo viralaa koee |

The jewels are beholden by all but the jeweller is any rare one who test checks the jewels.

ਰਾਗ ਨਾਦ ਸਭ ਕੋ ਸੁਣੈ ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਮਝੈ ਵਿਰਲੋਈ ।

raag naad sabh ko sunai sabad surat samajhai viraloee |

All listen to the melody and rhythm but a rare one understands the mystery of Word consciousness,

ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਰਤਨ ਪਦਾਰਥਾ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਮਾਲ ਪਰੋਈ ।

gurasikh ratan padaarathaa saadhasangat mil maal paroee |

The Sikhs of the Guru are pearls who are strung in the garland in the form of congregation.

ਹੀਰੈ ਹੀਰਾ ਬੇਧਿਆ ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਪਰਚਾ ਹੋਈ ।

heerai heeraa bedhiaa sabad surat mil parachaa hoee |

Only his consciousness remains merged in the Word whose mind diamond remains cut by the diamond of Word, the Guru.

ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪੂਰਨ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਵਿੰਦੁ ਸਿਞਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ।

paarabraham pooran braham gur govind siyaanai soee |

The fact that the transcendental Brahm is the prefect Brahm and the Guru is God, is only identified by a gurmukh, the Guru-orientated one.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੁਖ ਫਲੁ ਸਹਜਿ ਘਰੁ ਪਿਰਮ ਪਿਆਲਾ ਜਾਣੁ ਜਣੋਈ ।

guramukh sukh fal sehaj ghar piram piaalaa jaan janoee |

Only gurmukhs enter the abode of inner knowledge to attain fruits of delight and only they know the delight of the cup of love and make others also know it.

ਗੁਰੁ ਚੇਲਾ ਚੇਲਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਹੋਈ ।੧੬।

gur chelaa chelaa gur hoee |16|

Then the Guru and the disciple become identical.
