Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:
ਤੁਮ ਦਇਆਲ ਸਰਬ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਇਕ ਬਿਨਉ ਸੁਨਹੁ ਦੇ ਕਾਨੇ ॥
tum da-i-aal sarab dukh bhanjan ik bin-o sunhu day kaanay.
You are Merciful, the Destroyer of all pain. Please give me Your Ear and listen to my prayer.
ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਤੁਮ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਨੇ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੇ ॥੧॥
jis tay tum har jaanay su-aamee so satgur mayl mayraa paraanay. ||1||
Please unite me with the True Guru, my breath of life; through Him, O my Lord and Master, You are known. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Merciful One, you who end all pain -- bend your ear and listen to my prayer. Join me with the true teacher, who is the very breath of my life; it is through the teacher that you are known.
The teacher is the breath of life and the way the One becomes known.
A prayer for union with the Guru, who is the breath of life and the one through whom the One is known. The Guru is not an obstacle between soul and One but the very means of knowing. The address is intimate -- give Your ear.
A Question to Sit With
