ੴ

Salok, Third Mehl:

One who does not serve the Guru as Gurmukh, who does not love the Lord's Name,

and who does not savor the taste of the Shabad, shall die, and be reborn, over and over again.

The blind, self-willed manmukh does not think of the Lord; why did he even come into the world?

O Nanak, that Gurmukh, upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, crosses over the world-ocean. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Only the Guru is awake; the rest of the world is asleep in emotional attachment and desire.

Those who serve the True Guru and remain wakeful, are imbued with the True Name, the treasure of virtue.

The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not think of the Lord; they are ruined through birth and death.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; this is their destiny, pre-ordained by the Primal Lord God. ||2||

Pauree:

The Lord's Name is my food; eating the thirty-six varieties of it, I am satisfied and satiated.

The Lord's Name is my clothing; wearing it, I shall never be naked again, and my desire to wear other clothing is gone.

The Lord's Name is my business, the Lord's Name is my commerce; the True Guru has blessed me with its use.

I record the account of the Lord's Name, and I shall not be subject to death again.

Only a few, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Lord's Name; they are blessed by the Lord, and receive their pre-ordained destiny. ||17||
