ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਜਗਤੁ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਅੰਧੁ ਹੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

jagat agiaanee andh hai doojai bhaae karam kamaae |

The world is blind and ignorant; in the love of duality, it engages in actions.

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਜੇਤੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਲਗੈ ਤਨਿ ਧਾਇ ॥

doojai bhaae jete karam kare dukh lagai tan dhaae |

But those actions which are performed in the love of duality, cause only pain to the body.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਜਾ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

gur parasaadee sukh aoopajai jaa gur kaa sabad kamaae |

By Guru's Grace, peace wells up, when one acts according to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

ਸਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇ ॥

sachee baanee karam kare anadin naam dhiaae |

He acts according to the True Word of the Guru's Bani; night and day, he meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਤੁ ਆਪੇ ਲਾਏ ਤਿਤੁ ਲਗੇ ਕਹਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak jit aape laae tith lage kahanaa kichhoo na jaae |1|

O Nanak, as the Lord Himself engages him, so is he engaged; no one has any say in this matter. ||1||
