ਬਾਜੀਗਰਿ ਇਕ ਬਾਜੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
baajeegar ik baajee paa-ee.
The Juggler has staged His juggling show.
ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਨਦਰੀ ਆਈ ॥
pooray gur tay nadree aa-ee.
Through the Perfect Guru, one comes to behold it.
ਸਦਾ ਅਲਿਪਤੁ ਰਹੈ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਸਾਚੇ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥
sadaa alipat rahai gur sabdee saachay si-o chit laa-idaa. ||3||
One who remains forever detached in the Word of the Guru's Shabad - his consciousness is attuned to the True Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is like a great juggler who has set an amazing show in motion.
Through the perfect Guru you learn to watch it with calm eyes, staying steady in the Guru's Word, your heart tuned to the True.
The world is a dazzling show; the Guru helps you watch it with calm eyes.
The world is a juggler's show, dazzling and temporary. The Gurmukh watches it calmly, heart tuned to the True One behind it.
A Question to Sit With
When something is exciting but temporary, how do you enjoy it without losing yourself?
