Shalok, Third Mehla:
ਹਸਤੀ ਸਿਰਿ ਜਿਉ ਅੰਕਸੁ ਹੈ ਅਹਰਣਿ ਜਿਉ ਸਿਰੁ ਦੇਇ ॥
hasatee sir jiau a(n)kas hai aharan jiau sir dhei ||
The elephant offers its head to the reins, and the anvil offers itself to the hammer;
ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਆਗੈ ਰਾਖਿ ਕੈ ਊਭੀ ਸੇਵ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
man tan aagai raakh kai uoobhee sev karei ||
just so, we offer our minds and bodies to our Guru; we stand before Him, and serve Him.
ਇਉ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਆਪੁ ਨਿਵਾਰੀਐ ਸਭੁ ਰਾਜੁ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਕਾ ਲੇਇ ॥
eiau guramukh aap nivaareeaai sabh raaj sirasaT kaa lei ||
This is how the Gurmukhs eliminate their self-conceit, and come to rule the whole world.
ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਬੁਝੀਐ ਜਾ ਆਪੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥੧॥
naanak guramukh bujheeaai jaa aape nadhar karei ||1||
O Nanak, the Gurmukh understands, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. ||1||
Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Sorath – 648
