ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਖਣਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਤਿਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਿਖੈ॥

Gur Sikhee Dha Sikhana Shabadh Surath Sathisangath Sikhai||

To learn about Sikh-life, one ought to merge one's consciousness in the Word in the holy congregation.

ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਲਿਖਣਾ ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਸੁਣਿ ਸਮਝੈ ਲਿਖੈ॥

Gur Sikhee Dha Likhana Gurabanee Sun Samajhai Likhai||

Writing about Sikh life is to go on listening, understanding and continuously writing.

ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਣੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੰਤੁ ਕੋਲੂ ਰਸੁ ਇਖੈ॥

Gur Sikhee Dha Simarano Sathigur Manth Koloo Ras Eikhai||

Simran, meditation in Sikh life is learning the Guru-mantra (Vahiguru) which is sweet like sugarcane juice.

ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਵਰਤਮਾਨੁ ਚੰਦਨ ਵਾਸੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ਬਿਰਿਖੈ॥

Gur Sikhee Dha Varathaman Chandhan Vas Nivas Birikhai||

The spirit of the Sikhism is like fragrance residing in sandalwood trees.

ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੀ ਦਾ ਬੁਝਣਾ ਬੁਝਿ ਅਬੁਝਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਲੈ ਭਿਖੈ॥

Gur Sikhee Dha Bujhana Bujh Abujh Hovai Lai Bhikhai||

The understanding of a Sikh of the Guru consists in the fact that even after having received the gifted alms (of nom) and being fully knowledgeable, he considered himself as ignorant.

ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਾਨੁ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਸਰਿਖੈ॥

Sadhhasangath Gur Sabadh Sun Nam Dhan Eisanan Sarikhai||

The Sikh of the Guru, in the holy congregation listens to the word of the Guru and practises meditation, charity and ablution,

ਵਰਤਮਾਨੁ ਲੰਘਿ ਭੂਤ ਭਵਿਖੈ ॥੫॥

Varathaman Langh Bhooth Bhavikhai ||a||

And thus goes across the past present to a new the future.
