ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਵਿਣੁ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਸਿਝਈ ਵੇਖਹੁ ਕੋ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥

vin man maare koe na sijhee vekhahu ko liv laae |

Without conquering his mind, no one can be successful. See this, and concentrate on it.

ਭੇਖਧਾਰੀ ਤੀਰਥੀ ਭਵਿ ਥਕੇ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

bhekhadhaaree teerathee bhav thake naa ehu man maariaa jaae |

The wandering holy men are tired of of making pilgrimages to sacred shrines; they have not been able to conquer their minds.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੈ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥

guramukh ehu man jeevat marai sach rahai liv laae |

The Gurmukh has conquered his mind, and he remains lovingly absorbed in the True Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਇਸੁ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਮਲੁ ਇਉ ਉਤਰੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਲਾਇ ॥੨॥

naanak is man kee mal iau utarai haumai sabad jalaae |2|

O Nanak, this is how the filth of the mind is removed; the Word of the Shabad burns away the ego. ||2||
