ਕਾਮੁ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਦੇਵ ॥
kaam kroDh ahaNkaar binsai milai satgur dayv.
Sexual desire, anger, and egotism depart, meeting with the Divine True Guru.
ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜੁ ਕਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਭਲੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ ॥੩॥
naam darirh kar bhagat har kee bhalee parabh kee sayv. ||3||
Implant the Naam within, perform devotional worship to the Lord and serve God - this is good. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Lust, anger, and ego depart on meeting the Divine True Guru.
Implant the Name within, perform devotional worship, and serve God — this is good.
Meeting what is true, the passions simply depart — and the good life is plain: hold the Name and serve.
Meeting the Guru, the passions "depart" — not fought off but dissolved in His presence. And the simple summary of the good life: "implant the Naam within, perform devotional worship... and serve God - this is good." Plain, doable, sufficient.
