ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਜਿਨੀ ਨ ਸੇਵਿਓ ਸਬਦਿ ਨ ਕੀਤੋ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

satigur jinee na sevio sabad na keeto veechaar |

Those who do not serve the True Guru, and who do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਮਿਰਤਕੁ ਹੈ ਸੰਸਾਰਿ ॥

antar giaan na aaeo miratak hai sansaar |

-spiritual wisdom does not enter into their hearts; they are like dead bodies in the world.

ਲਖ ਚਉਰਾਸੀਹ ਫੇਰੁ ਪਇਆ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਹੋਇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥

lakh chauraaseeh fer peaa mar jamai hoe khuaar |

They go through the cycle of 8.4 million reincarnations, and they are ruined through death and rebirth.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਸੋ ਕਰੇ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਪਿ ਕਰਾਏ ਸੋਇ ॥

satigur kee sevaa so kare jis no aap karaae soe |

He alone serves the True Guru, whom the Lord Himself inspires to do so.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਹੈ ਕਰਮਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥

satigur vich naam nidhaan hai karam paraapat hoe |

The Treasure of the Naam is within the True Guru; by His Grace, it is obtained.

ਸਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਗੁਰਸਬਦ ਸਿਉ ਤਿਨ ਸਚੀ ਸਦਾ ਲਿਵ ਹੋਇ ॥

sach rate gurasabad siau tin sachee sadaa liv hoe |

Those who are truly attuned to the Word of the Guru's Shabad-their love is forever True.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਮੇਲੇ ਨ ਵਿਛੁੜੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥

naanak jis no mele na vichhurrai sehaj samaavai soe |1|

O Nanak, those who are united with Him shall not be separated again. They merge imperceptibly into God. ||1||
