Shalok, Third Mehl:

ਆਤਮਾ ਦੇਉ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥

Aathamaa Dhaeo Poojeeai Gur Kai Sehaj Subhaae ||

Worship the Divine, Supreme Soul, with the intuitive peace and poise of the Guru.

ਆਤਮੇ ਨੋ ਆਤਮੇ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਤਾ ਘਰ ਹੀ ਪਰਚਾ ਪਾਇ ॥

Aathamae No Aathamae Dhee Pratheeth Hoe Thaa Ghar Hee Parachaa Paae ||

If the individual soul has faith in the Supreme Soul, then it shall obtain realization within its own home.

ਗੁਰ ਵਿਣੁ ਸਹਜੁ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਲੋਭੁ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਜਾਇ ॥

Gur Vin Sehaj N Aavee Lobh Mail N Vichahu Jaae ||

Without the Guru, intuitive wisdom does not come, and the filth of greed does not depart from within.

ਖਿਨੁ ਪਲੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਸਭ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਇ ॥

Khin Pal Har Naam Man Vasai Sabh Athasath Theerathh Naae ||

If the Lord's Name abides within the mind, for a moment, even for an instant, it is like bathing at all the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

ਸਚੇ ਮੈਲੁ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਮਲੁ ਲਾਗੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥

Sachae Mail N Lagee Mal Laagai Dhoojai Bhaae ||

Filth does not stick to those who are true, but filth attaches itself to those who love duality.

ਧੋਤੀ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ ਜੇ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਇ ॥

Dhhothee Mool N Outharai Jae Athasath Theerathh Naae ||

This filth cannot be washed off, even by bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੀ ਸਭੁ ਦੁਖੋ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

Manamukh Karam Karae Ahankaaree Sabh Dhukho Dhukh Kamaae ||

The self-willed manmukh does deeds in egotism; he earns only pain and more pain.

ਨਾਨਕ ਮੈਲਾ ਊਜਲੁ ਤਾ ਥੀਐ ਜਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥

Naanak Mailaa Oojal Thaa Thheeai Jaa Sathigur Maahi Samaae ||1||

O Nanak, the filthy ones become clean only when they meet and surrender to the True Guru. ||1||

Third Mehl:

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਲੋਕੁ ਸਮਝਾਈਐ ਕਦਹੁ ਸਮਝਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥

Manamukh Lok Samajhaaeeai Kadhahu Samajhaaeiaa Jaae ||

The self-willed manmukhs may be taught, but how can they really be taught?

ਮਨਮੁਖੁ ਰਲਾਇਆ ਨਾ ਰਲੈ ਪਇਐ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਫਿਰਾਇ ॥

Manamukh Ralaaeiaa Naa Ralai Paeiai Kirath Firaae ||

The manmukhs do not fit in at all. Because of their past actions, they are condemned to the cycle of reincarnation.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪਣਾ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਸਬਦਿ ਕਸਵਟੀ ਲਾਇ ॥

Guramukh Aapanaa Man Maariaa Sabadh Kasavattee Laae ||

The Gurmukh has conquered his own mind, by applying the Touchstone of the Shabad.

ਮਨ ਹੀ ਨਾਲਿ ਝਗੜਾ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਨਾਲਿ ਸਥ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮੰਝਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

Man Hee Naal Jhagarraa Man Hee Naal Sathh Man Hee Manjh Samaae ||

He fights with his mind, he settles with his mind, and he is at peace with his mind.

ਮਨੁ ਜੋ ਇਛੇ ਸੋ ਲਹੈ ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਭਾਇ ॥

Man Jo Eishhae So Lehai Sachai Sabadh Subhaae ||

All obtain the desires of their minds, through the Love of the True Word of the Shabad.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦ ਭੁੰਚੀਐ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

Anmrith Naam Sadh Bhuncheeai Guramukh Kaar Kamaae ||

They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam forever; this is how the Gurmukhs act.

ਵਿਣੁ ਮਨੈ ਜਿ ਹੋਰੀ ਨਾਲਿ ਲੁਝਣਾ ਜਾਸੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥

Vin Manai J Horee Naal Lujhanaa Jaasee Janam Gavaae ||

Those who struggle with something other than their own mind, shall depart having wasted their lives.

ਮਨਮੁਖੀ ਮਨਹਠਿ ਹਾਰਿਆ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੁਸਤੁ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

Manamukhee Manehath Haariaa Koorr Kusath Kamaae ||

The self-willed manmukhs, through stubborn-mindedness and the practice of falsehood, lose the game of life.

ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਮਨੁ ਜਿਣੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥

Gur Parasaadhee Man Jinai Har Saethee Liv Laae ||

Those who conquer their own mind, by Guru's Grace, lovingly focus their attention on the Lord.

ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਆਵੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs practice Truth, while the self-willed manmukhs continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||2||

O Saints of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny, listen, and hear the Lord's Teachings, through the True Guru.

Jis Dhhur Bhaag Hovai Mukh Masathak Thin Jan Lai Hiradhai Raakhee ||

Those who have good destiny pre-ordained and inscribed on their foreheads, grasp it and keep it enshrined in the heart.

ਤਹ ਭਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਗਾਸੁ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਅੰਧਿਆਰਾ ਜਿਉ ਸੂਰਜ ਰੈਣਿ ਕਿਰਾਖੀ ॥

Theh Bhaeiaa Pragaas Mittiaa Andhhiaaraa Jio Sooraj Rain Kiraakhee ||

The Divine Light shines in their hearts, and like the sun which removes the darkness of night, it dispels the darkness of ignorance.

ਅਦਿਸਟੁ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਅਲਖੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਸੋ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਖੀ ॥੧੨॥
