ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਜਗਤੁ ਮੁਆ ਮਰਦੋ ਮਰਦਾ ਜਾਇ ॥

haumai vich jagat muaa marado maradaa jaae |

In egotism, the world is dead; it dies and dies, again and again.

ਜਿਚਰੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਦੰਮੁ ਹੈ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਈ ਕਿ ਕਰੇਗੁ ਅਗੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

jichar vich dam hai tichar na chetee ki kareg agai jaae |

As long as there is breath in the body, he does not remember the Lord; what will he do in the world hereafter?

ਗਿਆਨੀ ਹੋਇ ਸੁ ਚੇਤੰਨੁ ਹੋਇ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਅੰਧੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

giaanee hoe su chetan hoe agiaanee andh kamaae |

One who remembers the Lord is a spiritual teacher; the ignorant one acts blindly.

ਨਾਨਕ ਏਥੈ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਮਿਲੈ ਅਗੈ ਪਾਏ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak ethai kamaavai so milai agai paae jaae |1|

O Nanak, whatever one does in this world, determines what he shall receive in the world hereafter. ||1||
