ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਜਗੁ ਅੰਧੁ ਹੈ ਅੰਧੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

naanak bin satigur bhette jag andh hai andhe karam kamaae |

O Nanak, without meeting the True Guru, the world is blind, and it does blind deeds.

ਸਬਦੈ ਸਿਉ ਚਿਤੁ ਨ ਲਾਵਈ ਜਿਤੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

sabadai siau chit na laavee jit sukh vasai man aae |

It does not focus its consciousness on the Word of the Shabad, which would bring peace to abide in the mind.

ਤਾਮਸਿ ਲਗਾ ਸਦਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਜਲਤੁ ਬਿਹਾਇ ॥

taamas lagaa sadaa firai ahinis jalat bihaae |

Always afflicted with the dark passions of low energy, it wanders around, passing its days and nights burning.

ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋ ਥੀਐ ਕਹਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੧॥

jo tis bhaavai so theeai kahanaa kichhoo na jaae |1|

Whatever pleases Him, comes to pass; no one has any say in this. ||1||
