ਮਃ ੩ ॥

mahalaa 3 |

Third Mehl:

ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਰੀਐ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਮਿਰਤਕੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

kiau kar ihu man maareeai kiau kar miratak hoe |

How can this mind be conquered? How can it be killed?

ਕਹਿਆ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਮਾਨਈ ਹਉਮੈ ਛਡੈ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥

kahiaa sabad na maanee haumai chhaddai na koe |

If one does not accept the Word of the Shabad, egotism does not depart.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਛੁਟੈ ਜੀਵਨ ਮੁਕਤੁ ਸੋ ਹੋਇ ॥

gur parasaadee haumai chhuttai jeevan mukat so hoe |

By Guru's Grace, egotism is eradicated, and then, one is Jivan Mukta - liberated while yet alive.

ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਬਖਸੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਘਨੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੨॥

naanak jis no bakhase tis milai tis bighan na laagai koe |2|

O Nanak, one whom the Lord forgives is united with Him, and then no obstacles block his way. ||2||
