Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

Your gifts cannot be appraised; how can anyone compare to the Giver? ||2||

The day of my wedding is pre-ordained. Come - let's gather together and pour the oil over the threshold.

My friends, give me your blessings, that I may merge with my Lord and Master. ||3||

Unto each and every home, into each and every heart, this summons is sent out; the call comes each and every day.

Remember in meditation the One who summons us; O Nanak, that day is drawing near! ||4||1||20||

Raag Gauree Gwaarayree:

Third Mehl, Chau-Padas:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Meeting the Guru, we meet the Lord.

He Himself unites us in His Union.

My God knows all His Own Ways.

By the Hukam of His Command, He unites those who recognize the Word of the Shabad. ||1||

By the Fear of the True Guru, doubt and fear are dispelled.

Imbued with His Fear, we are absorbed in the Love of the True One. ||1||Pause||

Meeting the Guru, the Lord naturally dwells within the mind.

My God is Great and Almighty; His value cannot be estimated.

Through the Shabad, I praise Him; He has no end or limitations.

My God is the Forgiver. I pray that He may forgive me. ||2||

Meeting the Guru, all wisdom and understanding are obtained.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 008

The mind becomes pure, when the True Lord dwells within.

When one dwells in Truth, all actions become true.

The ultimate action is to contemplate the Word of the Shabad. ||3||

Through the Guru, true service is performed.

How rare is that Gurmukh who recognizes the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

The Giver, the Great Giver, lives forever.

Nanak enshrines love for the Name of the Lord. ||4||1||21||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

Those who obtain spiritual wisdom from the Guru are very rare.

Those who obtain this understanding from the Guru become acceptable.

Through the Guru, we intuitively contemplate the True One.

Through the Guru, the Gate of Liberation is found. ||1||

Through perfect good destiny, we come to meet the Guru.

The true ones are intuitively absorbed in the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

Meeting the Guru, the fire of desire is quenched.

Through the Guru, peace and tranquility come to dwell within the mind.

Through the Guru, we become pure, holy and true.

Through the Guru, we are absorbed in the Word of the Shabad. ||2||

Without the Guru, everyone wanders in doubt.

Without the Name, they suffer in terrible pain.

Those who meditate on the Naam become Gurmukh.

True honor is obtained through the Darshan, the Blessed Vision of the True Lord. ||3||

Why speak of any other? He alone is the Giver.

When He grants His Grace, union with the Shabad is obtained.
