Salok Mahalaa 1 ॥ Naa sat dukheeaa naa sat sukheeaa naa sat paanee jant fireh ॥ Naa sat moond mudaaee kesaee naa sat parriaa des fireh ॥ Naa sat rukhee birkhee pathar aap tachhaaveh dukh saheh ॥ Naa sat hastee badhe sangal naa sat gaaee ghaahu chareh ॥ Jis hath sidh devai je soee jis no dei tis aai milai ॥ Naanak taa kau milai vaddaaee jis ghat bheetar sabad ravai ॥ Sabh ghat mere hau sabhnaa andar jisahi khuaaee tis kaun kahai ॥ Jisahi dikhaalaa vaatṛee tisahi bhulaavai kaun ॥ Jisahi bhulaaee pandh sir tisahi dikhaavai kaun ॥1॥
meaning: SHALOK, FIRST MEHL: There is no Truth in suffering, there is no Truth in comfort. There is no Truth in wandering like animals through the water. There is no Truth in shaving one’s head; there is no Truth is studying the scriptures or wandering in foreign lands. There is no Truth in trees, plants or stones, in mutilating oneself or suffering in pain. There is no Truth in binding elephants in chains; there is no Truth in grazing cows. He alone grants it, whose hands hold spritual perfection; he alone receives it, unto whom it is given. O Nanak, he alone is blessed with glorious greatness, whose heart is filled with the Word of the Shabad. God says, all hearts are mine, and I am in all hearts. Who can explain this to one who is confused? Who can confuse that being, unto whom I have shown the Way? And who can show the Path to that being whom I have confused since the beginning of time? || 1 ||
