KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL
ਕਾਨੜਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਹਨ ਮਲਨ ਦਹਨ ਲਹਨ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲੇ ਆਨ ਨਹੀ ਉਪਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਤਟਨ ਖਟਨ ਜਟਨ ਹੋਮਨ ਨਾਹੀ ਡੰਡਧਾਰ ਸੁਆਉ ॥੧॥ ਜਤਨ ਭਾਂਤਨ ਤਪਨ ਭ੍ਰਮਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਕਥਨ ਕਥਤੇ ਨਹੀ ਥਾਹ ਪਾਈ ਠਾਉ ॥ ਸੋਧਿ ਸਗਰ ਸੋਧਨਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਭਜੁ ਨਾਉ ॥੨॥੨॥੩੯॥
KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Speaking of God, filth and pollution are burnt away; This comes by meeting with the Guru, and not by any other efforts. ||1|| Pause|| Making pilgrimages to sacred rivers, observing the six rituals, wearing matted and tangled hair, performing fire sacrifices and carrying ceremonial walking sticks — none of these are of any use. ||1|| All sorts of efforts, austerities, wanderings and various speeches — none of these will lead you to find the Lord’s Place. I have considered all considerations, O Nanak, but peace comes only by vibrating and meditating on the Name. ||2||2||39||
