Sri Guru Grath Sahib ji Quotes

[Unguru]

I pondered starting a new thread but I'll just renovate this one for quotes from our eternal guru, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Here are two:

रता पैनणु मनु रता सुपेदी सतु दानु
"My mind is imbued with the Lord's Love; it is dyed a deep crimson. Truth and charity are my white clothes."
नीली सिआही कदा करणी पहिरणु पैर धिआनु
"The blackness of sin is erased by my wearing of blue clothes, and meditation on the Lord's Lotus Feet is my robe of honor."

सतगुर की सेवा गाखड़ी सिरु दीजै आपु गवाइ
"It is very difficult to serve the True Guru. Surrender your head; give up your selfishness."
सबदि मिलहि ता हरि मिलै सेवा पवै सभ थाइ
"Realizing the Shabad, one meets with the Lord, and all one's service is accepted."
पारसि परसिऐ पारसु होइ जोती जोति समाइ
"By personally experiencing the Personality of the Guru, one's own personality is uplifted, and one's light merges into the Light. "

 

[Unguru]

मनु देवा तिसु अपुने साजन जिनि गुर मिलि सो प्रभु लाधे जीउ
I offer my mind to those friends, who have met the Guru and found God.

 

[Unguru]

कीता पसाउ एको कवाउ
You created the vast expanse of the Universe with One Word!
तिस ते होए लख दरीआउ
Hundreds of thousands of rivers began to flow.
कुदरति कवण कहा वीचारु
How can Your Creative Potency be described?
वारिआ न जावा एक वार
I cannot even once be a sacrifice to You.
जो तुधु भावै साई भली कार
Whatever pleases You is the only good done,
तू सदा सलामति निरंकार ॥१६॥
You, Eternal and Formless One!

 

[Unguru]

सतिगुरि मिलिऐ फलु पाइआ
Meeting with the True Guru, they receive the fruits of their destiny,
जिनि विचहु अहकरणु चुकाइआ
and egotism is driven out from within.
दुरमति का दुखु कटिआ भागु बैठा मसतकि आइ जीउ ॥११॥
The pain of evil-mindedness is eliminated; good fortune comes and shines radiantly from their foreheads.


अम्रितु तेरी बाणीआ
The Bani of Your Word is Ambrosial Nectar.
तेरिआ भगता रिदै समाणीआ
It permeates the hearts of Your devotees.
सुख सेवा अंदरि रखिऐ आपणी नदरि करहि निसतारि जीउ ॥१२॥
Serving You, peace is obtained; granting Your Mercy, You bestow salvation.

 

[Unguru]

जतु सतु संजमु नामु है विणु नावै निरमलु न होइ
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is abstinence, truthfulness, and self-restraint. Without the Name, no one becomes pure.
पूरै भागि नामु मनि वसै सबदि मिलावा होइ
Through perfect good fortune, the Naam comes to abide within the mind. Through the Shabad, we merge into Him.
नानक सहजे ही रंगि वरतदा हरि गुण पावै सोइ ॥४॥१७॥५०॥
O Nanak, one who lives in intuitive peace and poise, imbued with the Lord's Love, obtains the Glorious Praises of the Lord.​

 

[Unguru]

साचा नामु धिआइ पावहि सुखि महलो
Meditate on the True Name, and you shall find peace in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.
हरि नामु धिआए ता सुखु पाए पेईअड़ै दिन चारे
Meditate on the Lord's Name, and you shall find peace; your stay in this world shall last only four days.
निज घरि जाइ बहै सचु पाए अनदिनु नालि पिआरे
Sit in the home of your own being, and you shall find Truth; night and day, be with your Beloved.
विणु भगती घरि वासु न होवी सुणिअहु लोक सबाए
Without loving devotion, you cannot dwell in your own home - listen, everyone!
नानक सरसी ता पिरु पाए राती साचै नाए ॥२॥
O Nanak, she is happy, and she obtains her Husband Lord, if she is attuned to the True Name.

 

[Unguru]

अनिक बरख कीए जप तापा
They chant and meditate, practicing austere self-discipline for years and years;
गवनु कीआ धरती भरमाता
they wander on journeys all over the earth;
इकु खिनु हिरदै सांति न आवै जोगी बहुड़ि बहुड़ि उठि धावै जीउ ॥३॥
and yet, their hearts are not at peace, even for an instant. The Yogi rises up and goes out, over and over again.
