ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਮਹਲੁ ਕੁਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮੂਰਖ ਅਪਣੈ ਸੁਆਇ ॥

mehal kumahal na jaananee moorakh apanai suaae |

The fools do not know the difference between good and bad; they are deceived by their self-interests.

ਸਬਦੁ ਚੀਨਹਿ ਤਾ ਮਹਲੁ ਲਹਹਿ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

sabad cheeneh taa mehal laheh jotee jot samaae |

But if they contemplate the Word of the Shabad, they obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and their light merges in the Light.

ਸਦਾ ਸਚੇ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਸਭਾ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਇ ॥

sadaa sache kaa bhau man vasai taa sabhaa sojhee paae |

The Fear of God is always on their minds, and so they come to understand everything.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਅਪਣੈ ਘਰਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਆਪੇ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥

satigur apanai ghar varatadaa aape le milaae |

The True Guru is pervading the homes within; He Himself blends them with the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸਭ ਪੂਰੀ ਪਈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਰਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak satigur miliai sabh pooree pee jis no kirapaa kare rajaae |2|

O Nanak, they meet the True Guru, and all their desires are fulfilled, if the Lord grants His Grace and so wills. ||2||
