In just the same way, the Lord's humble servants chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; chanting the Lord's Name, they find peace. ||2||

The shop-keepers collect poison, sitting in their shops, carrying on their business.

Their love is false, their displays are false, and they are engrossed in falsehood.

In just the same way, the Lord's humble servants gather the wealth of the Lord's Name; they take the Lord's Name as their supplies. ||3||

This emotional attachment to Maya and family, and the love of duality, is a noose around the neck.

Following the Guru's Teachings, the humble servants are carried across; they become the slaves of the Lord's slaves.

Servant Nanak meditates on the Naam; the Gurmukh is enlightened. ||4||3||9||47||

Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

Continuously, day and night, they are gripped by greed and deluded by doubt.

The slaves labor in slavery, carrying the loads upon their heads.

That humble being who serves the Guru is put to work by the Lord in His Home. ||1||

O my Lord, please break these bonds of Maya, and put me to work in Your Home.

I continuously sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; I am absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||

Mortal men work for kings, all for the sake of wealth and Maya.

But the king either imprisons them, or fines them, or else dies himself.

Blessed, rewarding and fruitful is the service of the True Guru; through it, I chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and I have found peace. ||2||

Everyday, people carry on their business, with all sorts of devices to earn interest, for the sake of Maya.

If they earn a profit, they are pleased, but their hearts are broken by losses.

One who is worthy, becomes a partner with the Guru, and finds a lasting peace forever. ||3||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 017

The more one feels hunger for other tastes and pleasures, the more this hunger persists.

Those unto whom the Lord Himself shows mercy, sell their head to the Guru.

Servant Nanak is satisfied by the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. He shall never feel hungry again. ||4||4||10||48||

Gauree Bairaagan, Fourth Mehl:

Within my conscious mind is the constant longing for the Lord. How can I behold the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, Lord?

One who loves the Lord knows this; the Lord is very dear to my conscious mind.

I am a sacrifice to my Guru, who has re-united me with my Creator Lord; I was separated from Him for such a long time! ||1||

O my Lord, I am a sinner; I have come to Your Sanctuary, and fallen at Your Door, Lord.

My intellect is worthless; I am filthy and polluted. Please shower me with Your Mercy sometime. ||1||Pause||

My demerits are so many and numerous. I have sinned so many times, over and over again. O Lord, they cannot be counted.
