Salok Mahalaa 4 ॥ Bin Satigur seve jeeaa ke bandhanaa jete karam kamaahi ॥ Bin Satigur seve thavar na paavhee mar jammhe aavahi jaahi ॥ Bin Satigur seve fikaa bolanaa Naam na vasai man aai ॥ Naanak bin Satigur seve jam pur badhe maariah muhi kaalai uth jaahi ॥1॥ Mahalaa 3 ॥ Ik Satigur kee sevaa kareh chaakree Har Naame lagai piaar ॥ Naanak janam savaaran aapnaa kul kaa karan udhaar ॥2॥ Pauddee ॥ Aape chaatasaal aap hai paadhaa aape chaatarre parrhan kau aane ॥ Aape pitaa maataa hai aape aape baalak kare siaane ॥ Ik thai parr bujhai sabh aape ik thai aape kare iaane ॥ Iknaa andar mahal bulaae jaa aap terai man sache bhaane ॥ Jinaa aape Gurmukh de vaddiaaee se jan sachee dargeh jaane ॥11॥
meaning: Salok Ma 4 || Without serving the True Guru, the deeds which are done are only chains binding the soul. Without serving the True Guru, they find no place of rest. They die, only to be born again - they continue coming and going. Without serving the True Guru, their speech is insipid. They do not enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in the mind. O Nanak Ji, without serving the True Guru, they are bound and gagged, and beaten in the City of Death; they depart with blackened faces. ||1|| Third Mehl: Some wait upon and serve the True Guru; they embrace love for the Lord's Name. O Nanak Ji, they reform their lives, and redeem their generations as well. ||2|| Pauree: He Himself is the school, He Himself is the teacher, and He Himself brings the students to be taught. He Himself is the father, He Himself is the mother, and He Himself makes the children wise. In one place, He teaches them to read and understand everything, while in another place, He Himself makes them ignorant. Some, You summon to the Mansion of Your Presence within, when they are pleasing to Your Mind, O True Lord. That Gurmukh, whom You have blessed with greatness - that humble being is known in Your True Court. ||11||
