ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੪ ॥

salok mahalaa 4 |

Salok, Fourth Mehl:

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਭਈ ਮਤਿ ਮਧਿਮ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ਨਾਹੀ ॥

antar agiaan bhee mat madhim satigur kee parateet naahee |

He has spiritual ignorance within, and his intellect is dull and dim; he does not place his faith in the True Guru.

ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕਪਟੁ ਸਭੁ ਕਪਟੋ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਕਪਟੇ ਖਪਹਿ ਖਪਾਹੀ ॥

andar kapatt sabh kapatto kar jaanai kapatte khapeh khapaahee |

He has deceit within himself, and so he sees deception in all others; through his deceptions, he is totally ruined.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਆਪਣੈ ਸੁਆਇ ਫਿਰਾਹੀ ॥

satigur kaa bhaanaa chit na aavai aapanai suaae firaahee |

The True Guru's Will does not enter into his consciousness, and so he wanders around, pursuing his own interests.

ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਜੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਮਾਹੀ ॥੧॥

kirapaa kare je aapanee taa naanak sabad samaahee |1|

If He grants His Grace, then Nanak is absorbed into the Word of the Shabad. ||1||
