ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਤੁ ਖਾਧੈ ਸਭ ਭੁਖ ਜਾਇ ॥

guramukh amrit naam hai jit khaadhai sabh bhukh jaae |

The Guru's Word is the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam. Eating it, all hunger departs.

ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

trisanaa mool na hovee naam vasai man aae |

There is no thirst or desire at all, when the Naam comes to dwell in the mind.

ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਜਿ ਹੋਰੁ ਖਾਣਾ ਤਿਤੁ ਰੋਗੁ ਲਗੈ ਤਨਿ ਧਾਇ ॥

bin naavai ji hor khaanaa tith rog lagai tan dhaae |

Eating anything other than the Name, disease runs to afflict the body.

ਨਾਨਕ ਰਸ ਕਸ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਲਾਹਣਾ ਆਪੇ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak ras kas sabad salaahanaa aape le milaae |1|

O Nanak, whoever takes the Praise of the Shabad as his spices and flavors - the Lord unites him in His Union. ||1||
