ਪਉੜੀ ॥
paurree |
Pauree:
ਦੋਵੈ ਤਰਫਾ ਉਪਾਈਓਨੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਸਕਤਿ ਸਿਵ ਵਾਸਾ ॥
dovai tarafaa upaaeeon vich sakat siv vaasaa |
He created both sides; Shiva dwells within Shakti (the soul dwells within the material universe).
ਸਕਤੀ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਫਿਰਿ ਜਨਮਿ ਬਿਨਾਸਾ ॥
sakatee kinai na paaeo fir janam binaasaa |
Through the material universe of Shakti, no one has ever found the Lord; they continue to be born and die in reincarnation.
ਗੁਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਐ ਸਾਤਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਜਪਿ ਸਾਸ ਗਿਰਾਸਾ ॥
gur seviai saat paaeeai jap saas giraasaa |
Serving the Guru, peace is found, meditating on the Lord with every breath and morsel of food.
ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ ਸੋਧਿ ਦੇਖੁ ਊਤਮ ਹਰਿ ਦਾਸਾ ॥
simrit saasat sodh dekh aootam har daasaa |
Searching and looking through the Simritees and the Shaastras, I have found that the most sublime person is the slave of the Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਕੋ ਥਿਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਮੇ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਸਾ ॥੧੦॥
naanak naam binaa ko thir nahee naame bal jaasaa |10|
O Nanak, without the Naam, nothing is permanent and stable; I am a sacrifice to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||10||
