ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਭੇਟਿਆ ਤਾ ਕੈ ਸੁਖਿ ਪਰਵੇਸੁ ॥
gur pooraa jis bhayti-aa taa kai sukh parvays.
One who meets with the Perfect Guru, is blessed with peace.
ਮਨ ਕੀ ਮਤਿ ਤਿਆਗੀਐ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
man kee mat ti-aagee-ai sunee-ai updays. ||1|| rahaa-o.
So renounce the intellectual cleverness of your mind, and listen to the Teachings. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever meets the perfect Guru finds peace flowing in.
So set aside your own clever thinking, and listen to the teaching.
Sometimes wisdom starts by quieting your own clever opinions and listening.
Gur pooraa jis bhayti-aa, taa kai sukh parvays — peace entering; man kee mat ti-aagee-ai, sunee-ai updays — releasing self-cleverness to make room for deep listening. Humility opens the ear.
