ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਭੋ ਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਰਤੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਤੰਨੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

eihu tan sabho rat hai rat bin tan na hoe |

This body is all blood; without blood, the body cannot exist.

ਜੋ ਸਹਿ ਰਤੇ ਆਪਣੈ ਤਿਨ ਤਨਿ ਲੋਭ ਰਤੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥

jo seh rate aapanai tin tan lobh rat na hoe |

Those who are attuned to their Lord - their bodies are not filled with the blood of greed.

ਭੈ ਪਇਐ ਤਨੁ ਖੀਣੁ ਹੋਇ ਲੋਭ ਰਤੁ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥

bhai peiai tan kheen hoe lobh rat vichahu jaae |

In the Fear of God, the body becomes thin, and the blood of greed passes out of the body.

ਜਿਉ ਬੈਸੰਤਰਿ ਧਾਤੁ ਸੁਧੁ ਹੋਇ ਤਿਉ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਭਉ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

jiau baisantar dhaat sudh hoe tiau har kaa bhau duramat mail gavaae |

As fire purifies metal, so does the Fear of the Lord eradicate the filth of evil-mindedness.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਜਨ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਜੋ ਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

naanak te jan sohane jo rate har rang laae |1|

O Nanak, beautiful are those humble beings, who are imbued with the Lord's Love. ||1||
