JAPJI SAHIB PAURI 6-10


PAURI-6

Teerath Naavaa Jay Tis Bhaavaa Vin Bhaanay Ke Naae Karee
Jaytee Sirath Upaa-ee Vaekha Vin Karmaa Ke Milai La-ee
Mat Vich Ratan Javaahar Maanik Jae Ik Gur Kee Sikh Sunee
Gura Ik Dayhi Bujhaai Sabhna Jeea Ka Ik Data So Mai Bisar Na Jai 


Translation

One should bathe in the place of pilgrimage of His liking; otherwise, these are empty rituals. This visible universe is the creation of the Lord and no one finds fulfilment here without His grace. The mind displays qualities of invaluable gems, jewels and rubies, if one heeds to the instructions of the Guru. The Guru has taught one lesson that the Lord, the provider of the bounty of this life, should never be forgotten.

PAURI-7

Jag Jug Chaaray Aarjaa Hor Dasooni Hoe
Navaa Khanda Vich Jaaneeye Naal Chalay Sabh Koe
Changaa Naao Rakhaay Kai Jas Keerath Jag Laee
Jay Tis Nadar Na Aavee Ta Vaat Na Puchhai Kae
Keeta Andar Keet Kar Dosee Dos Dharae
Naanak Nirgun Gun Karay Gunvantiaa Gun Dae
Taehaa Koe N Sujhee Je Tis Gun Koe Karae.


Translation
Even if one lives for four ages or ten times more; one is known all through the nine continents and enjoys universal following; and one has a good name, reputation and the whole world sings their praises. Still no one bothers about such a person if they are not blessed with a glance from the Lord. One would be considered the lowliest of worm among worms and held in contempt even by the most contemptible sinners despite all the grandeur and fame. Guru Nanakdevji says that only the Lord can make unworthy persons worthy and grant virtues to the virtuous. The Guru says that he can think of no one but the Lord who can bestow these qualities.
