ੴ

Salok, Third Mehl:

Fraud and hypocrisy within bring constant pain; the self-willed manmukh does not practice meditation.

Suffering in pain, he does his deeds; he is immersed in pain, and he shall suffer in pain hereafter.

By his karma, he meets the True Guru, and then, he is lovingly attuned to the True Name.

O Nanak, he is naturally at peace; doubt and fear run away and leave him. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The Gurmukh is in love with the Lord forever. The Name of the Lord is pleasing to his mind.

The Gurmukh beholds and speaks the Naam, the Name of the Lord; chanting the Naam, he finds peace.

O Nanak, the spiritual wisdom of the Gurmukh shines forth; the black darkness of ignorance is dispelled. ||2||

Third Mehl:

The filthy, foolish, self-willed manmukhs die.

The Gurmukhs are immaculate and pure; they keep the Lord enshrined within their hearts.

Prays Nanak, listen, O Siblings of Destiny!

Serve the True Guru, and the filth of your ego shall be gone.

Deep within, the pain of skepticism afflicts them; their heads are constantly assaulted by worldly entanglements.

Asleep in the love of duality, they never wake up; they are attached to the love of Maya.

They do not remember the Name, and they do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad; this is the view of the self-willed manmukhs.

They do not love the Lord's Name, and they lose their life uselessly. O Nanak, the Messenger of Death attacks them, and humiliates them. ||3||

Pauree:

He alone is a true king, whom the Lord blesses with true devotion.

People pledge their allegiance to him; no other store stocks this merchandise, nor deals in this trade.

That humble devotee who turns his face towards the Guru and becomes sunmukh, receives the Lord's wealth; the faithless baymukh, who turns his face away from the Guru, gathers only ashes.

The Lord's devotees are dealers in the Name of the Lord. The Messenger of Death, the tax-collector, does not even approach them.

Servant Nanak has loaded the wealth of the Name of the Lord, who is forever independent and care-free. ||7||
