ਸਲੋਕ ਮਃ ੩ ॥

salok mahalaa 3 |

Salok, Third Mehl:

ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਸਹੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਰਹੈ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥

sabhanaa kaa sahu ek hai sad hee rahai hajoor |

There is One Lord God of all; He remains ever-present.

ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਮੰਨਈ ਤਾ ਘਰ ਹੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਦੂਰਿ ॥

naanak hukam na manee taa ghar hee andar door |

O Nanak, if one does not obey the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then within one's own home, the Lord seems far away.

ਹੁਕਮੁ ਭੀ ਤਿਨੑਾ ਮਨਾਇਸੀ ਜਿਨੑ ਕਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥

hukam bhee tinaa manaaeisee jina kau nadar karee |

They alone obey the Lord's Command, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace.

ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਸੁਹਾਗਣਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥

hukam man sukh paaeaa prem suhaagan hoe |1|

Obeying His Command, one obtains peace, and becomes the happy, loving soul-bride. ||1||

Raag Gujri

If there is a perfect simile for Raag Gujari, it would be that of a person isolated in the desert, who has their hands cupped, holding water. However, it is only when the water begins to slowly seep through their joined hands that the person comes to realise the real value and importance of the water. Similarly Raag Gujari leads the listener to realise and become aware of passing time and in this way comes to value the precious nature of time itself. The revelation brings the listener to an awareness and admission of their own death and mortality, making them utilise their remaining ‘life time’ more wisely.
