ਮਨ ਜਾਗੇ ਕੀ ਇਹੀ ਨਿਸਾਨੀ । ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਲਾਗਹਿ ਉਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਾਨੀ ।
ਧੰਨ ਸਿਖ ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਉਰ ਭਾਈ । ਸਮ ਸਲਿਤਾ ਮਨ ਮੀਨ ਬਨਾਈ ।
This is the sign of an awakened mind - that their heart loves the words of the True Guru.
Blessed is that Sikh, who has such love - they make their mind a fish and swim in the river of Gurbani.
ਪਰਮ ਸਿਖ ਜਿਨ ਕੋ ਮਨ ਕਾਨਨ । ਬਿਚਰਹਿ ਨਿਤ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦ ਪਚਾਨਨ ।
ਤਾਰੋ ਭਰਮ ਭਿਰ੍ਯੋ ਨਰ ਡੋਲਹਿ । ਗੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਤਾਰੀ ਸੰਗ ਖੋਲਹਿ ।26।
The highest Sikh is one who makes their mind a forest, and lets the tiger-like-Gurbani roam daily.
That lock of delusion which causes men to fight and fall. Gurbani is the key with which to open this delusion-like-lock.
ਭਗਤਿ ਵਿਰਾਗ ਗ੍ਯਾਨ ਗੁਨ ਘਨੇ । ਪ੍ਰਵਿਸਹਿ ਕੋਸਠ ਸੋ ਤਬਿ ਚੁਨੇ ।
In opening the lock one opens a door to a house of great virtues; devotion, detachment, wisdom and others, where they will have their pick.
