ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੰਨੁ ਅਜਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਗੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

manamukh man ajit hai doojai lagai jaae |

The mind of the self-willed manmukh is so very stubborn; it is stuck in the love of duality.

ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਸੁਖੁ ਸੁਪਨੈ ਨਹੀ ਦੁਖੇ ਦੁਖਿ ਵਿਹਾਇ ॥

tis no sukh supanai nahee dukhe dukh vihaae |

He does not find peace, even in dreams; he passes his life in misery and suffering.

ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਪੜਿ ਪੜਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਥਕੇ ਸਿਧ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਲਗਾਇ ॥

ghar ghar parr parr panddit thake sidh samaadh lagaae |

The Pandits have grown weary of going door to door, reading and reciting their scriptures; the Siddhas have gone into their trances of Samaadhi.

ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਵਸਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਥਕੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

eihu man vas na aavee thake karam kamaae |

This mind cannot be controlled; they are tired of performing religious rituals.

ਭੇਖਧਾਰੀ ਭੇਖ ਕਰਿ ਥਕੇ ਅਠਿਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਇ ॥

bhekhadhaaree bhekh kar thake atthisatth teerath naae |

The impersonators have grown weary of wearing false costumes, and bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines.

ਮਨ ਕੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥

man kee saar na jaananee haumai bharam bhulaae |

They do not know the state of their own minds; they are deluded by doubt and egotism.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਭਉ ਪਇਆ ਵਡਭਾਗਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

gur parasaadee bhau peaa vaddabhaag vasiaa man aae |

By Guru's Grace, the Fear of God is obtained; by great good fortune, the Lord comes to abide in the mind.

ਭੈ ਪਇਐ ਮਨੁ ਵਸਿ ਹੋਆ ਹਉਮੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਇ ॥

bhai peiai man vas hoaa haumai sabad jalaae |

When the Fear of God comes, the mind is restrained, and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is burnt away.

ਸਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਸੇ ਨਿਰਮਲੇ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥

sach rate se niramale jotee jot milaae |

Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate; their light merges in the Light.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਨਾਉ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਖਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੨॥

satigur miliai naau paaeaa naanak sukh samaae |2|

Meeting the True Guru, one obtains the Name; O Nanak, he is absorbed in peace. ||2||
