ਪੂਰੈ ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੀ ਮਤਿ ਦੀਨੀ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਆਨ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥੧੦॥
poorai gur pooree mat deenee har bin aan na bhaa-ee. ||10||
The Perfect Guru has given me the perfect teachings; there is nothing except the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Perfect Guru has given me the perfect teaching.
Brothers and sisters, there is nothing but the One.
With the Guru's whole teaching, you see there is nothing but the One.
Poorai gur pooree mat: the Perfect Guru gives a perfect, whole understanding; the word poori (whole, complete) is doubled for emphasis. Har bin aan na bhaa-ee: nothing but the One. Bhaa-ee can mean "brother" and also "pleases", so the line can also be heard as "nothing but the One pleases me." Once the whole teaching has landed, nothing else fits.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever outgrown something that used to satisfy you?
