ਸਾਧੋ! ਕਾ ਸਾਸ਼ਤ੍ਰਨ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੀਨੋ ॥ ਅਨਪਾਵਨੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਹੀ ਸਾਧੀ ॥ Read this Shabad by Shri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj in Punjabi (Gurmukhi) with English pronunciation and meaning.
ਸਾਧੋ! ਕਾ ਸਾਸ਼ਤ੍ਰਨ ਸੁਨਿ ਕੀਨੋ,
ਅਨੁਪਾਵਨੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਾਧੀ, ਭੂਖੇ ਅੰਨ ਨ ਦੀਨੌ ॥ ਟੇਕ ॥
ਕਾਮ ਨ ਵਿਸਰਿਓ ਡਿਯੰਭ ਨਾ ਤਿਆਗਿਓ, ਲੋਭ ਨ ਬਿਸਾਰਿਓ ਦੇਵਾ।
ਪਰ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਮੁਖ ਤੈ ਨਹਿੰ ਛਾਡਿ, ਨਿਫਲ ਭਇ ਸਭੁ ਸੇਵਾ ॥੧॥
ਬਾਟ ਪਾੜਿ ਘਰ ਮੁਸਿ ਪਰਾਓ, ਉਦਰਿ ਭਰਿਓ ਅਪਰਾਧੀ।
ਹੋਵੈ ਅਪਰਾਧੀ ਕੇਸੋ ਨ ਸਿਮਰਿਓ, ਅਹੁ ਅਵਿਦਿਆ ਸਾਧੀ ॥੨॥
ਹਰਿ ਅਰਪਨ ਕਰਿ ਭੋਜ ਨ ਕੀਨੋ,ਕਥਾ ਕੀਰਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਨੀਂ।
ਰਾਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ, ਅਮਰ ਜੀਵ ਗਰਾਬੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ॥੩॥
ਚਰਨ ਕੰਵਲ ਅਨਰਾਗ ਨ ਉਪਜਿਓ, ਭੂਤ ਦਯਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਾਲੀ।
ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਪਲੁ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਿ, ਪੂਰਨ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲੀ॥੪॥
O saints! What is the use of listening to Shastars, if you have not worshipped the God or recited His name and not given alms to a hungry person?
You have not renounced the desires, greed and show of wealth. You have not given up back-biting. Therefore, service performed by you has become fruitless.
You have discarded the noble way of meeting the God and have taken refuge in the world which is not your house.
You commit crime in order to feed your stomach. You have not recited the name of God. As such you have acquired ignorance.
You have not dedicated your life to God and thus do not know the greatness of God. It is a fact that you cannot achieve salvation without worship.
You have not yet felt the pang of separation from God's lotus feet and have not adopted mercy. Ravidass says, if a man spends few moments in the pious company of holy saints with true devotion, then he can achieve the God, who is the Creator. •
