Do we really chant ?

rwmu rwmu krqw sBu jgu iPrY rwmu n pwieAw jwie ]
raam raam karathaa sabh jag firai raam n paaeiaa jaae ||
The entire world roams around, chanting, ""Raam, Raam, Lord, Lord"", but the Lord cannot be obtained like this.

Agmu Agocru Aiq vfw Aqulu n quilAw jwie ]
agam agochar ath vaddaa athul n thuliaa jaae ||
He is inaccessible, unfathomable and so very great; He is unweighable, and cannot be weighed.

kImiq iknY n pweIAw ikqY n lieAw jwie ]
keemath kinai n paaeeaa kithai n laeiaa jaae ||
No one can evaluate Him; He cannot be purchased at any price.

gur kY sbid ByidAw ien ibiD visAw min Awie ]
gur kai sabadh bhaedhiaa ein bidhh vasiaa man aae ||
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, His mystery is known; in this way, He comes to dwell in the mind.

nwnk Awip Amyau hY gur ikrpw qy rihAw smwie ]
naanak aap amaeo hai gur kirapaa thae rehiaa samaae ||
O Nanak, He Himself is infinite; by Guru's Grace, He is known to be permeating and pervading everywhere.

Awpy imilAw imil rihAw Awpy imilAw Awie ]1]
aapae miliaa mil rehiaa aapae miliaa aae ||1||
He Himself comes to blend, and having blended, remains blended. ||1||
