ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਨੁ ਵੇਕਾਰੀ ਵੇੜਿਆ ਵੇਕਾਰਾ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

man vekaaree verriaa vekaaraa karam kamaae |

With the mind encircled by wickedness and evil, people do evil deeds.

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਪੂਜਦੇ ਦਰਗਹ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥

doojai bhaae agiaanee poojade daragah milai sajaae |

The ignorant worship the love of duality; in the Lord's Court they shall be punished.

ਆਤਮ ਦੇਉ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬੂਝ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥

aatam deo poojeeai bin satigur boojh na paae |

So worship the Lord, the Light of the soul; without the True Guru, understanding is not obtained.

ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਭਾਣਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਕਾ ਕਰਮੀ ਪਲੈ ਪਾਇ ॥

jap tap sanjam bhaanaa satiguroo kaa karamee palai paae |

Meditation, penance and austere self-discipline are found by surrendering to the True Guru's Will. By His Grace this is received.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇਵਾ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਕਮਾਵਣੀ ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak sevaa surat kamaavanee jo har bhaavai so thaae paae |2|

O Nanak, serve with this intuitive awareness; only that which is pleasing to the Lord is approved. ||2||
