ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਅਮਰੁ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹੁ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਨਾਲਿ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਨ ਚਲਈ ਨ ਹੁਜਤਿ ਕਰਣੀ ਜਾਇ ॥

amar veparavaahu hai tis naal siaanap na chalee na hujat karanee jaae |

The Order of the Lord is beyond challenge. Clever tricks and arguments will not work against it.

ਆਪੁ ਛੋਡਿ ਸਰਣਾਇ ਪਵੈ ਮੰਨਿ ਲਏ ਰਜਾਇ ॥

aap chhodd saranaae pavai man le rajaae |

So abandon your self-conceit, and take to His Sanctuary; accept the Order of His Will.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਮ ਡੰਡੁ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥

guramukh jam ddandd na lagee haumai vichahu jaae |

The Gurmukh eliminates self-conceit from within himself; he shall not be punished by the Messenger of Death.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਸੋਈ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak sevak soee aakheeai ji sach rahai liv laae |1|

O Nanak, he alone is called a selfless servant, who remains lovingly attuned to the True Lord. ||1||
