Pauree:
ਙੰਙਾ ਖਟੁ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਹੋਇ ਙਿਆਤਾ ॥
ngangaa khatt saasatr hoe ngiaataa |
NGANGA: He may be a scholar of the six Shaastras.
ਪੂਰਕੁ ਕੁੰਭਕ ਰੇਚਕ ਕਰਮਾਤਾ ॥
poorak kunbhak rechak karamaataa |
He may practice inhaling, exhaling and holding the breath.
ਙਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਤੀਰਥ ਇਸਨਾਨੀ ॥
ngiaan dhiaan teerath isanaanee |
He may practice spiritual wisdom, meditation, pilgrimages to sacred shrines and ritual cleansing baths.
ਸੋਮਪਾਕ ਅਪਰਸ ਉਦਿਆਨੀ ॥
somapaak aparas udiaanee |
He may cook his own food, and never touch anyone else's; he may live in the wilderness like a hermit.
ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਸੰਗਿ ਮਨਿ ਨਹੀ ਹੇਤਾ ॥
raam naam sang man nahee hetaa |
But if he does not enshrine love for the Lord's Name within his heart,
ਜੋ ਕਛੁ ਕੀਨੋ ਸੋਊ ਅਨੇਤਾ ॥
jo kachh keeno soaoo anetaa |
then everything he does is transitory.
ਉਆ ਤੇ ਊਤਮੁ ਗਨਉ ਚੰਡਾਲਾ ॥
auaa te aootam gnau chanddaalaa |
Even an untouchable pariah is superior to him,
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਹ ਮਨਿ ਬਸਹਿ ਗੁਪਾਲਾ ॥੧੬॥
naanak jih man baseh gupaalaa |16|
O Nanak, if the Lord of the World abides in his mind. ||16||
