ੴ

Salok, Third Mehl:

He Himself is pleased with His humble devotees; my Beloved Lord attaches them to Himself.

The Lord blesses His humble devotees with royalty; He fashions the true crown upon their heads.

They are always at peace, and immaculately pure; they perform service for the True Guru.

They are not said to be kings, who die in conflict, and then enter again the cycle of reincarnation.

O Nanak, without the Name of the Lord, they wander about with their noses cut off in disgrace; they get no respect at all. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Hearing the teachings, he does not appreciate them, as long as he is not Gurmukh, attached to the Word of the Shabad.

Serving the True Guru, the Naam comes to abide in the mind, and doubts and fears run away.

As he knows the True Guru, so he is transformed, and then, he lovingly focuses his consciousness on the Naam.

O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, greatness is obtained; he shall be resplendent in the Court of the Lord hereafter. ||2||

Pauree:

The minds of the Gursikhs are filled with the love of the Lord; they come and worship the Guru.

They trade lovingly in the Lord's Name, and depart after earning the profit of the Lord's Name.

The faces of the Gursikhs are radiant; in the Court of the Lord, they are approved.

The Guru, the True Guru, is the treasure of the Lord's Name; how very fortunate are the Sikhs who share in this treasure of virtue.

I am a sacrifice to those Gursikhs who, sitting and standing, meditate on the Lord's Name. ||11||
