mahalaa 3 |
Third Mehl:
ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪੁ ਨ ਪਛਾਣੈ ਮੂੜਾ ਅਵਰਾ ਆਖਿ ਦੁਖਾਏ ॥
aapanaa aap na pachhaanai moorraa avaraa aakh dukhaae |
The fool does not understand his own self; he annoys others with his speech.
ਮੁੰਢੈ ਦੀ ਖਸਲਤਿ ਨ ਗਈਆ ਅੰਧੇ ਵਿਛੁੜਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਖਾਏ ॥
mundtai dee khasalat na geea andhe vichhurr chottaa khaae |
His underlying nature does not leave him; separated from the Lord, he suffers cruel blows.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਭੈ ਭੰਨਿ ਨ ਘੜਿਓ ਰਹੈ ਅੰਕਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥
satigur kai bhai bhan na gharrio rahai ank samaae |
Through the fear of the True Guru, he has not changed and reformed himself, so that he might merge in the lap of God.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਸਹਸਾ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਚੂਕੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
anadin sahasaa kade na chookai bin sabadai dukh paae |
Night and day, his doubts never stop; without the Word of the Shabad, he suffers in pain.
ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਬਲਾ ਨਿਤ ਧੰਧਾ ਕਰਤ ਵਿਹਾਏ ॥
kaam krodh lobh antar sabalaa nit dhandhaa karat vihaae |
Sexual desire, anger and greed are so powerful within him; he passes his life constantly entangled in worldly affairs.
ਚਰਣ ਕਰ ਦੇਖਤ ਸੁਣਿ ਥਕੇ ਦਿਹ ਮੁਕੇ ਨੇੜੈ ਆਏ ॥
charan kar dekhat sun thake dih muke nerrai aae |
His feet, hands, eyes and ears are exhausted; his days are numbered, and his death is immanent.
ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਲਗੋ ਮੀਠਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਵ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਏ ॥
sachaa naam na lago meetthaa jit naam nav nidh paae |
The True Name does not seem sweet to him - the Name by which the nine treasures are obtained.
ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਮਰੈ ਫੁਨਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਤਾਂ ਮੋਖੰਤਰੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
jeevat marai marai fun jeevai taan mokhantar paae |
But if he remains dead while yet alive, then by so dying, he truly lives; thus, he attains liberation.
ਧੁਰਿ ਕਰਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਪਰਾਣੀ ਵਿਣੁ ਕਰਮਾ ਕਿਆ ਪਾਏ ॥
dhur karam na paaeo paraanee vin karamaa kiaa paae |
But if he is not blessed with such pre-ordained karma, then without this karma, what can he obtain?
ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ਤੂ ਮੂੜੇ ਗਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਸਬਦੇ ਪਾਏ ॥
gur kaa sabad samaal too moorre gat mat sabade paae |
Meditate in remembrance on the Word of the Guru's Shabad, you fool; through the Shabad, you shall obtain salvation and wisdom.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਤਦ ਹੀ ਪਾਏ ਜਾਂ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਏ ॥੨॥
naanak satigur tad hee paae jaan vichahu aap gavaae |2|
O Nanak, he alone finds the True Guru, who eliminates self-conceit from within. ||2||
