ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਮਨਹਠਿ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਸਭ ਥਕੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

manahatth kinai na paaeo sabh thake karam kamaae |

No one has ever found the Lord through stubborn-mindedness. All have grown weary of performing such actions.

ਮਨਹਠਿ ਭੇਖ ਕਰਿ ਭਰਮਦੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥

manahatth bhekh kar bharamade dukh paaeaa doojai bhaae |

Through their stubborn-mindedness, and by wearing their disguises, they are deluded; they suffer in pain from the love of duality.

ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਸਭੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

ridh sidh sabh mohu hai naam na vasai man aae |

Riches and the supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhas are all emotional attachments; through them, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not come to dwell in the mind.

ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਅਗਿਆਨੁ ਅੰਧੇਰਾ ਜਾਇ ॥

gur sevaa te man niramal hovai agiaan andheraa jaae |

Serving the Guru, the mind becomes immaculately pure, and the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled.

ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਘਰਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥

naam ratan ghar paragatt hoaa naanak sehaj samaae |1|

The jewel of the Naam is revealed in the home of one's own being; O Nanak, one merges in celestial bliss. ||1||
