ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੨ ॥

Salok Mehala 2 ||

Shalok, Second Mehl:

ਏਹ ਕਿਨੇਹੀ ਆਸਕੀ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਗੈ ਜਾਇ ॥

Eaeh Kinaehee Asakee Dhoojai Lagai Jae ||

What sort of love is this, which clings to duality?

ਨਾਨਕ ਆਸਕੁ ਕਾਂਢੀਐ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਰਹੈ ਸਮਾਇ ॥

Naanak Asak Kandteeai Sadh Hee Rehai Samae ||

O Nanak, he alone is called a lover, who remains forever immersed in absorption.

ਚੰਗੈ ਚੰਗਾ ਕਰਿ ਮੰਨੇ ਮੰਦੈ ਮੰਦਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

Changai Changa Kar Mannae Mandhai Mandha Hoe ||

But one who feels good only when good is done for him, and feels bad when things go badly

ਆਸਕੁ ਏਹੁ ਨ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿ ਲੇਖੈ ਵਰਤੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥

Asak Eaehu N Akheeai J Laekhai Varathai Soe ||1||

- do not call him a lover. He trades only for his own account. ||1||
