ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਸੁਣਿ ਸਿਖਿਐ ਸਾਦੁ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਜਿਚਰੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ॥

sun sikhiai saad na aaeo jichar guramukh sabad na laagai |

Hearing the teachings, he does not appreciate them, as long as he is not Gurmukh, attached to the Word of the Shabad.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਸੇਵਿਐ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਭਉ ਭਾਗੈ ॥

satigur seviai naam man vasai vichahu bhram bhau bhaagai |

Serving the True Guru, the Naam comes to abide in the mind, and doubts and fears run away.

ਜੇਹਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਤੇਹੋ ਹੋਵੈ ਤਾ ਸਚਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੈ ॥

jehaa satigur no jaanai teho hovai taa sach naam liv laagai |

As he knows the True Guru, so he is transformed, and then, he lovingly focuses his consciousness on the Naam.

ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਿ ਸੋਹਨਿ ਆਗੈ ॥੨॥

naanak naam milai vaddiaaee har dar sohan aagai |2|

O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, greatness is obtained; he shall be resplendent in the Court of the Lord hereafter. ||2||
