Meeting with my Beloved, I sing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord.

O Nanak, becoming true, I am absorbed in the True One. ||4||2||22||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

True is that place, where the mind becomes pure.

True is the one who abides in Truth.

The True Bani of the Word is known throughout the four ages.

The True One Himself is everything. ||1||

Through the karma of good actions, one joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

Sing the Glories of the Lord, sitting in that place. ||1||Pause||

Burn this tongue, which loves duality,

which does not taste the sublime essence of the Lord, and which utters insipid words.

Without understanding, the body and mind become tasteless and insipid.

Without the Name, the miserable ones depart crying out in pain. ||2||

One whose tongue naturally and intuitively tastes the Lord's sublime essence, by Guru's Grace, is absorbed in the True Lord.

Imbued with Truth, one contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad,

and drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar, from the immaculate stream within. ||3||

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is collected in the vessel of the mind.

Nothing is collected if the vessel is upside-down.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Naam abides within the mind.

O Nanak, True is that vessel of the mind, which thirsts for the Shabad. ||4||3||23||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

Some sing on and on, but their minds do not find happiness.

In egotism, they sing, but it is wasted uselessly.

Those who love the Naam, sing the song.

They contemplate the True Bani of the Word, and the Shabad. ||1||

They sing on and on, if it pleases the True Guru.

Their minds and bodies are embellished and adorned, attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Some sing, and some perform devotional worship.

Without heart-felt love, the Naam is not obtained.

True devotional worship consists of love for the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

The devotee keeps his Beloved clasped tightly to his heart. ||2||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 009

The fools perform devotional worship by showing off;

they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain.

By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.

But one who dies in the Word of the Shabad, obtains devotional worship. ||3||

The Lord is the Lover of His devotees; He inspires them to perform devotional worship.

True devotional worship consists of eliminating selfishness and conceit from within.

My True God knows all ways and means.

O Nanak, He forgives those who recognize the Naam. ||4||4||24||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

When someone kills and subdues his own mind, his wandering nature is also subdued.
