ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਜਿਚਰੁ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਲਹਰੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਹੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ॥

jichar ihu man laharee vich hai haumai bahut ahankaar |

As long as his mind is disturbed by waves, he is caught in ego and egotistical pride.

ਸਬਦੈ ਸਾਦੁ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਨਾਮਿ ਨ ਲਗੈ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

sabadai saad na aavee naam na lagai piaar |

He does not find the taste of the Shabad, and he does not embrace love for the Name.

ਸੇਵਾ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਵਈ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਖਪਿ ਖਪਿ ਹੋਇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥

sevaa thaae na pavee tis kee khap khap hoe khuaar |

His service is not accepted; worrying and worrying, he wastes away in misery.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਸੋਈ ਆਖੀਐ ਜੋ ਸਿਰੁ ਧਰੇ ਉਤਾਰਿ ॥

naanak sevak soee aakheeai jo sir dhare utaar |

O Nanak, he alone is called a selfless servant, who cuts off his head, and offers it to the Lord.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਿ ਲਏ ਸਬਦੁ ਰਖੈ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੧॥

satigur kaa bhaanaa man le sabad rakhai ur dhaar |1|

He accepts the Will of the True Guru, and enshrines the Shabad within his heart. ||1||
