ੴ

Sorat'h, Third Mehl:

He alone is a Sikh, a friend, a relative and a sibling, who walks in the Way of the Guru's Will.

One who walks according to his own will, O Siblings of Destiny, suffers separation from the Lord, and shall be punished.

Without the True Guru, peace is never obtained, O Siblings of Destiny; again and again, he regrets and repents. ||1||

The Lord's slaves are happy, O Siblings of Destiny.

The sins and sorrows of countless lifetimes are eradicated; the Lord Himself unites them in His Union. ||Pause||

All of these relatives are like chains upon the soul, O Siblings of Destiny; the world is deluded by doubt.

Without the Guru, the chains cannot be broken; the Gurmukhs find the door of salvation.

One who performs rituals without realizing the Word of the Guru's Shabad, shall die and be reborn, again and again. ||2||

The world is entangled in egotism and possessiveness, O Siblings of Destiny, but no one belongs to anyone else.

The Gurmukhs attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, singing the Glories of the Lord; they dwell in the home of their own inner being.

One who understands here, realizes himself; the Lord God belongs to him. ||3||

The True Guru is forever merciful, O Siblings of Destiny; without good destiny, what can anyone obtain?

He looks alike upon all with His Glance of Grace, but people receive the fruits of their rewards according to their love for the Lord.

O Nanak, when the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell within the mind, then self-conceit is eradicated from within. ||4||6||
