Salok, Third Mehl:

ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦਹਿ ਤੇ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣਾ ਜੇ ਚਲਹਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭਾਇ ॥

braham bindeh te braahamanaa je chaleh satigur bhaae |

He alone knows God, and he alone is a Brahmin, who walks in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.

ਜਿਨ ਕੈ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਹਰਿ ਵਸੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਰੋਗੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

jin kai hiradai har vasai haumai rog gavaae |

One whose heart is filled with the Lord, is freed of egotism and disease.

ਗੁਣ ਰਵਹਿ ਗੁਣ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹਹਿ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥

gun raveh gun sangraheh jotee jot milaae |

He chants the Lord's Praises, gathers virtue, and his light merges into the Light.

ਇਸੁ ਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਵਿਰਲੇ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬਿੰਦਹਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇ ॥

eis jug meh virale braahaman braham bindeh chit laae |

How rare are those Brahmins who, in this age, come to know God, by lovingly focusing their consciousness on Him.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਨੑ ਕਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਸਚਾ ਸੇ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak jina kau nadar kare har sachaa se naam rahe liv laae |1|

O Nanak, those who are blessed by the Lord's Glance of Grace, remain lovingly attuned to the Name of the True Lord. ||1||
