Maaroo, Third Mehl, First House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Wherever You seat me, there I sit, O my Lord and Master; wherever You send me, there I go.
In the entire village, there is only One King; all places are sacred. ||1||
O Baba, while I dwell in this body, let me sing Your True Praises,
that I may intuitively merge with You. ||1||Pause||
He thinks that good and bad deeds come from himself; this is the source of all evil.
Whatever happens in this world is only by the Order of our Lord and Master. ||2||
Sexual desires are so strong and compelling; where has this sexual desire come from?
The Creator Himself stages all the plays; how rare are those who realize this. ||3||
By Guru's Grace, one is lovingly focused on the One Lord, and then, duality is ended.
Whatever is in harmony with His Will, he accepts as True; the noose of Death is loosened from around his neck. ||4||
Prays Nanak, who can call him to account, when the egotistical pride of his mind has been silenced?
Even the Righteous Judge of Dharma is intimidated and afraid of him; he has entered the Sanctuary of the True Lord. ||5||1||

Maaroo, First Mehl:
I do not believe that anyone is foolish; I do not believe that anyone is clever.
Imbued forever with the Love of my Lord and Master, I chant His Name, night and day. ||1||
O Baba, I am so foolish, but I am a sacrifice to the Name.
You are the Creator, You are wise and all-seeing. Through Your Name, we are carried across. ||1||Pause||
The same person is foolish and wise; the same light within has two names.
The most foolish of the foolish are those who do not believe in the Name. ||2||
Through the Guru's Gate, the Gurdwara, the Name is obtained. Without the True Guru, it is not received.
Through the Pleasure of the True Guru's Will, the Name comes to dwell in the mind, and then, night and day, one remains lovingly absorbed in the Lord. ||3||
In power, pleasures, beauty, wealth and youth, one gambles his life away.
Bound by the Hukam of God's Command, the dice are thrown; he is just a piece in the game of chess. ||4||
The world is clever and wise, but it is deluded by doubt, and forgets the Name; the Pandit, the religious scholar, studies the scriptures, but he is still a fool.
Forgetting the Name, he dwells upon the Vedas; he writes, but he is confused by his poisonous corruption. ||5||
He is like the crop planted in the salty soil, or the tree growing on the river bank, or the white clothes sprinkled with dirt.
This world is the house of desire; whoever enters it, is burnt down by egotistical pride. ||6||
Where are all the kings and their subjects? Those who are immersed in duality are destroyed.
Says Nanak, these are the steps of the ladder, of the Teachings of the True Guru; only the Unseen Lord shall remain. ||7||3||11||

Dear sadeepuri,
The question that was being discussed is whether 'Baba ji' is used for Sri Guru Granth sahib or not.The direct answer to this is no. We all respect the opinion of others and that is the best way of learning.
I also feel that the term baba ji is not employed in majority of cases while addressing to SGGS ji.
The reference to the term baba in Bani is, as already explained by Pk70 ji, is perfectly correct.
It may be an address for the Father or the Lord as per the context in which it is employed. I think we should give rest to this discussion. You may continue to use as you like but we always listen to what other wants to state else the discussion would be reduced to a monologue.

Sikh80 Ji,
'JI' is used with respect, like I say Sikh80 Ji, instead of sikh80.
And term 'Baba' is used for Lord who is no different than Guru for me neech and BabaJi Himself has ingrained this truth in me kiramjant.
So for me neechanneech, BabaJi is used in BabaJi to address BabaJi.
Thanks

Wow, Sikh80 Ji this means anything that you dont like or accept - must not be entertained at all by anyone else. GREAT JOB.

ਨਾਨਕ ਰੁੰਨਾ ਬਾਬਾ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਜੇ ਰੋਵੈ ਲਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੋ ॥ ਵਾਲੇਵੇ ਕਾਰਣਿ ਬਾਬਾ ਰੋਈਐ ਰੋਵਣੁ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਕਾਰੋ ॥ ਰੋਵਣੁ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਕਾਰੋ ਗਾਫਲੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੋ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾਰਣਿ ਰੋਵੈ ॥ ਚੰਗਾ ਮੰਦਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਸੂਝੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਏਵੈ ਖੋਵੈ ॥ ਐਥੈ ਆਇਆ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਜਾਸੀ ਕੂੜਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੋ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਰੁੰਨਾ ਬਾਬਾ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਜੇ ਰੋਵੈ ਲਾਇ ਪਿਆਰੋ ॥੪॥੧॥
ਬਾਬਾ = ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਰੁੰਨਾ ਜਾਣੀਐ = ਸਹੀ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਵਿਚ ਆਇਆ ਸਮਝੋ। ਵਾਲੇਵੇ ਕਾਰਣਿ = ਧਨ-ਪਦਾਰਥ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ। ਬਿਕਾਰੋ = ਬੇ-ਕਾਰ, ਵਿਅਰਥ। ਗਾਫਲੁ = ਬੇ-ਖ਼ਬਰ, ਲਾ-ਪਰਵਾਹ। ਖੋਵੈ = ਨਾਸ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕੂੜਿ = ਨਾਸਵੰਤ ਜਗਤ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ।੪।
ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! (ਆਖ-ਵਿਛੁੜੇ ਸਨਬੰਧੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਮੌਤ ਤੇ ਤਾਂ ਹਰ ਕੋਈ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਵਿਚ ਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਇਹ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਕਿਸੇ ਅਰਥ ਨਹੀਂ) ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਉਸੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਸਹੀ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਵਿਚ ਆਇਆ ਜਾਣੋ, ਜੋ ਪਿਆਰ ਨਾਲ (ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੇ ਮਿਲਾਪ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ) ਵੈਰਾਗ ਵਿਚ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਦੁਨੀਆ ਦੇ ਧਨ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ ਜੋ ਰੋਵੀਦਾ ਹੈ ਉਹ ਰੋਣਾ ਸਾਰਾ ਹੀ ਵਿਅਰਥ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।... .............................................................
Usage Of Baba or Baba ji,
The term has many connotations in Bani.
At many places Baba is used to address some third person as well as is done in the above lines. I still would prefer to see the context and then assign meaning than to make a sweeping Generalization.
Bani is in the form of poetry and hence no fixed meaning can be assigned though I agree that the term baba ji can be employed for Sri Guru Granth sahib ji as well.There are no rules in semantics that states that it cannot be so. One is free to assign the meaning to Baba as in Punjabi the word is employed for someone who is elderly and is worthy of respect.
[Note-I also do agree that I should have used ji while addressing you. But I think that you are much junior to me in age and hence I had used the term 'Dear sadeepuri' instead of sadeepuri ji. However, I note it for future .]
Regards.

baabaa aisaa bikham jaal man vaasiaa ||
O Baba, such is the treacherous trap which has caught my mind;
Most of the time, Guru Nanak Dev ji uses "Baba" to refer to himself 35 times. Two other Nanaks and 1 bhagat also refer to
"Baba" on 9 occasions.: Guru Arjan Dev ji (3 times) and Guru Amardas Dev ji (4 times) as well as Bhagat Kabir (2 times.
If Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj ji is speaking in the voice of the Nanaks and the Bhagats it seems reasonable to think of Sri Guru Granth Sahib as Baba too. Or am I wrong about this?
To complete the list making it 45 times. Thank you Honey 22.

This one confirms my suspicion that "Baba" is also the Satguru.

Honey 22, no problem. I don't have time to look these all up and add links to Gurbani right now. But later I will edit, and we can have a complete listing. Thank you for adding the panna for each one though. It saves time.
Thank you

Honey22,
Not an interruption. More like an initiative. Why didn't my search engine turn these up too? Can't depend on anything. Actually thank you again. This could turn into a research project leading to an essay that a person could write for a Sikh journal like Sikh Spectrum.
Title something like "Who is Babji in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj?" They like this systematic study of a theme. That is where I found the idea about Birds and Gurbani -- in Sikh Spectrum. The birds became an SPN album and then that morphed into a thread on Punjabi vocabulary with all the animals in SGGS. It is a lot of fun actually to do this kind of thing.

Sikh80 Ji,
You are doing all of the three things or one of them:
1. Guessing my age---------guess what, you are not a good guesser in my case(provided YOUR age given by you in your posts is correct and reliable).
2. You have some supernatural powers and using that------------- guess what, your powers dont work on me(provided YOUR age given by you in your posts is correct and reliable).
3. You are trying to track my identity based on my IP address--------------- guess what, your track has gone to a wrong direction(provided YOUR age given by you in your posts is correct and reliable).
ANYWAYS GUESS MY AGE: I just celebrated first birthday of my fourth grandchild
.Good Luck To You Sikh80 Ji.

Respected Jios
With due respect to replies relating to saying SGGS Ji as Baba Ji
We(in our area) usually say to our children let us go to Gurdwara Sahib for bowing to Baba Ji!
{Chalo Baba Ji nu Gurdwaray matha taken chaliay}
Please forgive me
