salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦੇ ਸੋ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਜਿ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਏ ॥

braham binde so braahaman kaheeai ji anadin har liv laae |

One who understands God, who lovingly centers his mind on the Lord night and day, is called a Brahmin.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪੁਛੈ ਸਚੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਰੋਗੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਜਾਏ ॥

satigur puchhai sach sanjam kamaavai haumai rog tis jaae |

Consulting the True Guru, he practices Truth and self-restraint, and he is rid of the disease of ego.

ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ਗੁਣ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹੈ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ॥

har gun gaavai gun sangrahai jotee jot milaae |

He sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and gathers in His Praises; his light is blended with the Light.

ਇਸੁ ਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਕੋ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਜਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਮੇਟਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥

eis jug meh ko viralaa braham giaanee ji haumai mett samaae |

In this world, one who knows God is very rare; eradicating ego, he is absorbed in God.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਜਿ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ॥੧॥

naanak tis no miliaa sadaa sukh paaeeai ji anadin har naam dhiaae |1|

O Nanak, meeting him, peace is obtained; night and day, he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||1||
