ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

There is but one God. By true Guru's grace He is obtained.

ਅਯੋ ਅੰਙੈ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਆਇਆ ਕਾਖੈ ਘੰਙੈ ਕਾਲੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

Ayu Ange and kakhe Ghane, the whole world that is born, shall pass away.

ਰੀਰੀ ਲਲੀ ਪਾਪ ਕਮਾਣੇ ਪੜਿ ਅਵਗਣ ਗੁਣ ਵੀਸਰਿਆ ॥੧॥

Riri Lali, the mortal commits sins and falling in vices forgets virtues.

ਮਨ ਐਸਾ ਲੇਖਾ ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਪੜਿਆ ॥

O my soul why hasty thou learnt such an account,

ਲੇਖਾ ਦੇਣਾ ਤੇਰੈ ਸਿਰਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

by which rendering of account still remains due from thee? Pause.

ਸਿਧੰਙਾਇਐ ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਨੰਨੈ ਨਾ ਤੁਧੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਇਆ ॥

Sidhan Naiain. Thou O man, rememberest not God. N: --- Neither thou takest the Name.

ਛਛੈ ਛੀਜਹਿ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਮੂੜੇ ਕਿਉ ਛੂਟਹਿ ਜਮਿ ਪਾਕੜਿਆ ॥੨॥

Chh:-- Day and night thou art wearing off, O fool. seized by Death's myrmidon, how wilt thou be released?

ਬਬੈ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਮੂੜੇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਇਆ ॥

B:- Thou understand not O stupid and led astray by doubt, thou art wasting away thy life

ਅਣਹੋਦਾ ਨਾਉ ਧਰਾਇਓ ਪਾਧਾ ਅਵਰਾ ਕਾ ਭਾਰੁ ਤੁਧੁ ਲਇਆ ॥੩॥

Without cause thou callest thyself a teacher, and takest on thee the load of others.

ਜਜੈ ਜੋਤਿ ਹਿਰਿ ਲਈ ਤੇਰੀ ਮੂੜੇ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਇਆ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਹਿਗਾ ॥

J:-- Thou hast been robbed of thy Divine light, O fool and when departing, in the end, thou shalt repent.

ਏਕੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਤੂੰ ਚੀਨਹਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੂਨੀ ਆਵਹਿਗਾ ॥੪॥

The one Lord thou rememberest not, so thou shalt enter the womb, again and again.

ਤੁਧੁ ਸਿਰਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਸੋ ਪੜੁ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਅਵਰਾ ਨੋ ਨ ਸਿਖਾਲਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ॥

Red thou that what is written on thy forehead, O scholar and teach not wickedness to others.

ਪਹਿਲਾ ਫਾਹਾ ਪਇਆ ਪਾਧੇ ਪਿਛੋ ਦੇ ਗਲਿ ਚਾਟੜਿਆ ॥੫॥

To begin with the teacher is roped, and afterward the noose is put around the pupil neck.

ਸਸੈ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਗਇਓ ਮੂੜੇ ਏਕੁ ਦਾਨੁ ਤੁਧੁ ਕੁਥਾਇ ਲਇਆ ॥

S:-- Thou hast lost self discipline, O stupid and thou hast taken an improper charity.

ਸਾਈ ਪੁਤ੍ਰੀ ਜਜਮਾਨ ਕੀ ਸਾ ਤੇਰੀ ਏਤੁ ਧਾਨਿ ਖਾਧੈ ਤੇਰਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਇਆ ॥੬॥

As is the daughter of thy almsgiver, so is the thine. By taking this payment (for performing wedding ceremony } thou hast wasted thy life.

ਮੰਮੈ ਮਤਿ ਹਿਰਿ ਲਈ ਤੇਰੀ ਮੂੜੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਡਾ ਰੋਗੁ ਪਇਆ ॥

M:-- Thou hast been denuded of thy intellect, O fool, and art infested with the great malady of self-conceit.

ਅੰਤਰ ਆਤਮੈ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨ ਚੀਨਿੑਆ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਮੁਹਤਾਜੁ ਭਇਆ ॥੭॥

K:-- In lust and wrath, thou wanderest, O fool. Attached to worldly love, thou hast forgotten God.

ਭਭੈ ਭਵਜਲਿ ਡੁਬੋਹੁ ਮੂੜੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਗਲਤਾਨੁ ਭਇਆ ॥

Bh:-- O fool, thou art drowned in the terrible world ocean, and art engrossed in the worldly valuables.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਏਕ ਘੜੀ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੧੧॥

ਏਹ ਵੇਲਾ ਨ ਲਹਸਹਿ ਮੂੜੇ ਫਿਰਿ ਤੂੰ ਜਮ ਕੈ ਵਸਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੧੨॥

This opportunity thou shalt not get again. Thou shalt fall in the power of Death's myrmidons, O fool.

ਝਝੈ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਝੂਰਹਿ ਮੂੜੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਤੂੰ ਵਿਖਾ ॥

Jh:-- Thou shalt never repent, O fool, if thou hearest the True Guru's instruction even a little.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਕੋਈ ਨਿਗੁਰੇ ਕਾ ਹੈ ਨਾਉ ਬੁਰਾ ॥੧੩॥

Without the True Guru, there is not another Guru, and the one without the Guru has a bad name.

ਧਧੈ ਧਾਵਤ ਵਰਜਿ ਰਖੁ ਮੂੜੇ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਪਇਆ ॥

Dh:-- Restrain thy wandering mind O foolish man. within thee is the Name treasure.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਵਹਿ ਜੁਗਾ ਜੁਗੰਤਰਿ ਖਾਹਿ ਪਇਆ ॥੧੪॥

If man becomes a Guru-ward, then does he drink God's elixir, and continues he, to quaff if, all the ages through.

ਗਗੈ ਗੋਬਿਦੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਮੂੜੇ ਗਲੀ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

G:-- Think thou of the World-Lord, O fool. By mere talk, none has ever attained Him.

ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਵਸਾਇ ਮੂੜੇ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਗੁਨਹ ਸਭ ਬਖਸਿ ਲਇਆ ॥੧੫॥

Guru's feet abide thou in thy mind, O stupid person. All thine past sins, he shall forgive.

ਹਾਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਾ ਬੂਝੁ ਤੂੰ ਮੂੜੇ ਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ॥

H:-- God's discourse understand thou, O fool, then alone shalt thou attain eternal peace.

ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਪੜਹਿ ਤੇਤਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਾਗੈ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੧੬॥

The more the perverse read, more the anguish they suffer. Without the True Guru there is no salvation.

ਰਾਰੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਮੂੜੇ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਜਿਨੑ ਕੈ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ॥

R:-- O fool, remember thou the Lord, through the persons in whose heart He is abiding.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਜਿਨੑੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਪਛਾਤਾ ਨਿਰਗੁਣ ਰਾਮੁ ਤਿਨੑੀ ਬੂਝਿ ਲਹਿਆ ॥੧੭॥

By Guru's grace they, who recognise the Lord, they understand their Absolute God.

ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਲਖਿਆ ਅਕਥੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਿਆ ॥

My Master, Thine limit cannot be known. The Indescribable God cannot be described.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਨੑ ਕਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਤਿਨੑ ਕਾ ਲੇਖਾ ਨਿਬੜਿਆ ॥੧੮॥੧॥੨॥

Nanak, they whom the True Guru meets have their account settled.

ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਪਾਠ ਦਾ ਮਹੱਤਵ ਅਤੇ ਰੂਹਾਨੀ ਲਾਭ

Reading and reciting Gurbani Paath is a foundational pillar of Sikh spiritual life. Gurbani, literally meaning "the Guru's word," is the divine wisdom revealed to the Sikh Gurus and other enlightened saints. By studying and contemplating the sacred scripture on a daily basis, a devotee can cultivate inner peace, mental clarity, and a deep sense of connection to the Creator. The specific Bani, ਪਟੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩, holds a unique place in the daily routine of devotees, carrying spiritual vibrations that help transform the mind and soothe the soul.

Why Do We Read Nitnem and Daily Banis?

In the Sikh code of conduct (Rehat Maryada), every Sikh is prescribed a set of daily prayers to be recited at specific times—in the morning, evening, and night. Collectively known as Nitnem (meaning daily routine), these prayers serve as a shield against the five negative impulses (lust, anger, greed, attachment, and pride) and keep the practitioner centered in remembrance of the Divine. Performing ਪਟੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ regularly establishes a rhythmic discipline in life. Whether you are reading in Gurmukhi, English translations, or studying phonetic transliterations on NaamSimran, the focus remains on understanding the message and embedding it in one's daily conduct.

The Protocol of Reading Gurbani: Respect and Reverence

Gurbani is considered the living voice of the Guru, and thus, utmost respect is maintained while reading or listening to it. Before commencing the recitation of ਪਟੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩, one should cover their head, wash their hands and feet, and sit in a comfortable, respectful posture. Maintaining a clean and quiet environment helps direct all attention to the divine message. In our digital reader, we have provided customizable options for text sizes, translations (English, Punjabi, Spanish), and transliteration layouts so that you can create an optimal, distraction-free environment for your daily recitation. If you prefer to track your complete reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, you can configure your own Sehaj Path tracker to read the scripture page-by-page.

Spiritual Rest and Scroll Restoration

Longer compositions like Sukhmani Sahib or Asa di Var can take significant time to read in full. To support the global Sangat in maintaining their daily routine, this digital reader automatically saves your progress. As you read and scroll through the verses of ਪਟੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩, the application tracks your visible position and stores it locally. When you return to the page later, you will be automatically scrolled back to the exact verse where you left off, allowing you to complete your path easily without losing your place. At any time, you can reset your progress via the Settings drawer or click the floating "Back to Top" button to return to the beginning.

Integrating Simran and Daily Contemplation

Reciting Gurbani is most effective when paired with active contemplation and the practice of Naam Simran. While Gurbani instructs us on the attributes of the Divine and how to live ethically, Naam Simran is the practical application of meditating on the Gurmantar "Waheguru" to quiet the mind. Together, these practices form the core of a Sikh's spiritual development, leading to a state of Sehaj (spiritual poise and balance). Devotees are encouraged to read the daily Hukamnama Sahib from Sri Harmandir Sahib to receive the day's guidance and align their thoughts with the divine order.

Spiritual Upliftment Through Gurbani Translations

For many youth and seekers around the world, understanding Gurmukhi script can be a barrier. Providing high-quality English, Punjabi, and Hindi translations allows readers to truly comprehend the profound philosophical teachings contained in Gurbani. Each hymn in ਪਟੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ speaks of universal truths—the unity of creation, the beauty of the cosmos, and the ultimate merging of the individual soul with the eternal Light. We hope that this interactive, modern, and high-performance digital reader inspires you to spend time daily with the Guru's words, bringing peace, joy, and spiritual progress to your life.
