ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਪੰਚ ਧਾਤੂ ॥
gur kai sabad mareh panch Dhaatoo.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the five thieves of desire are conquered.
ਭੈ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਨਿਰਮਲਾ ਤੂ ॥
bhai paarbarahm hoveh nirmalaa too.
In the Fear of the Supreme Lord God, you shall become immaculate and pure.
ਪਾਰਸੁ ਜਬ ਭੇਟੈ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਤਾ ਪਾਰਸੁ ਪਰਸਿ ਦਿਖਾਇਣਾ ॥੭॥
paaras jab bhaytai gur pooraa taa paaras paras dikhaa-inaa. ||7||
When one meets the Perfect Guru, the Philosopher's Stone, His touch reveals the Lord, the Philosopher's Stone. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the Guru's Word, the five restless pulls inside me grow still.
Standing in awe of the vast One, I become clear and clean.
The Perfect Guru is like a magic stone that turns iron to gold — meeting the Guru, that touch shows me the One.
Meeting the Guru is a touch that turns iron to gold, and the restless pulls grow still.
Through the Shabad the panch dhaatoo — the five restless inner pulls (craving, anger, greed, clinging, pride) — grow still. Standing in bhai, awe of the vast One, one becomes nirmal, pure. Meeting the Perfect Guru is like touching the paaras, the Philosopher's Stone that turns iron to gold: that touch transforms and reveals the One.
A Question to Sit With
