ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥
salok mehlaa 3.
Shalok, Third Mehl:
ਪਿਰ ਖੁਸੀਏ ਧਨ ਰਾਵੀਏ ਧਨ ਉਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ॥
pir khusee-ay Dhan raavee-ay Dhan ur naam seegaar.
Her Husband Lord is pleased, and He enjoys His bride; the soul-bride adorns her heart with the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਧਨ ਆਗੈ ਖੜੀ ਸੋਭਾਵੰਤੀ ਨਾਰਿ ॥੧॥
naanak Dhan aagai kharhee sobhaavantee naar. ||1||
O Nanak, that bride who stands before Him, is the most noble and respected woman. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the heart wears the Name like its finest jewelry, the Beloved is delighted.
Nanak says: such a heart stands honored, the way a kind person is respected everywhere.
Its beauty is inner, and that inner beauty is the most noble of all.
The finest thing you can wear is the Name held in the heart.
A shalok of the Third Mehl. The heart that adorns itself with the Name, rather than with outward show, is the most honored. Nobility here is entirely inward.
A Question to Sit With
What kind of beauty do you most admire in a person?
