From the Sky of the Tenth Gate, the Ambrosial Nectar trickles down.

The Lord Himself is pervading the three worlds. ||1||

O my mind, do not give in to doubt.

When the mind surrenders to the Name, it drinks in the essence of Ambrosial Nectar. ||1||Pause||

So win the game of life; let your mind surrender and accept death.

When the self dies, the individual mind comes to know the Supreme Mind.

As the inner vision is awakened, one comes to know one's own home, deep within the self. ||2||

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is austerity, chastity and cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

What good are ostentatious displays?

The All-pervading Lord is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||3||

If I had faith in someone else, then I would go to that one's house.

But where should I go, to beg? There is no other place for me.

O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, I am intuitively absorbed in the Lord. ||4||8||

Gauree, First Mehl:

Meeting the True Guru, we are shown the way to die.

Remaining alive in this death brings joy deep within.

Overcoming egotistical pride, the Tenth Gate is found. ||1||

Death is pre-ordained - no one who comes can remain here.

So chant and meditate on the Lord, and remain in the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Meeting the True Guru, duality is dispelled.

The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and the mind is attached to the Lord God.

One who remains dead while yet alive obtains the greatest happiness hereafter. ||2||

Meeting the True Guru, one becomes truthful, chaste and pure.

Climbing up the steps of the Guru's Path, one becomes the highest of the high.

When the Lord grants His Mercy, the fear of death is conquered. ||3||

Uniting in Guru's Union, we are absorbed in His Loving Embrace.

Granting His Grace, He reveals the Mansion of His Presence, within the home of the self.

O Nanak, conquering egotism, we are absorbed into the Lord. ||4||9||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 004

Gauree, First Mehl:

Past actions cannot be erased.

What do we know of what will happen hereafter?

Whatever pleases Him shall come to pass.

There is no other Doer except Him. ||1||

I do not know about karma, or how great Your gifts are.

The karma of actions, the Dharma of righteousness, social class and status, are contained within Your Name. ||1||Pause||

You are So Great, O Giver, O Great Giver!

The treasure of Your devotional worship is never exhausted.

One who takes pride in himself shall never be right.

The soul and body are all at Your disposal. ||2||

You kill and rejuvenate. You forgive and merge us into Yourself.

As it pleases You, You inspire us to chant Your Name.

You are All-knowing, All-seeing and True, O my Supreme Lord.
