Servant Nanak takes the Sustenance and Support of the Naam. In the Name of the Lord, he enjoys celestial peace. ||4||8||22||60||

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

Within this body-fortress is the Lord, the Sovereign Lord King, but the stubborn ones do not find the taste.

When the Lord, Merciful to the meek, showed His Mercy, I found and tasted it, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

Lovingly focused upon the Guru, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praise has become sweet to me. ||1||Pause||

The Lord, the Supreme Lord God, is Inaccessible and Unfathomable. Those who are committed to the True Guru, the Divine Intermediary, meet the Lord.

Those whose hearts are pleased with the Guru's Teachings - the Lord's Presence is revealed to them. ||2||

The hearts of the self-willed manmukhs are hard and cruel; their inner beings are dark.

Even if the poisonous snake is fed large amounts of milk, it will still yield only poison. ||3||

O Lord God, please unite me with the Holy Guru, so that I might joyfully grind and eat the Shabad.

Servant Nanak is the slave of the Guru; in the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, the bitter becomes sweet. ||4||9||23||61||

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

For the sake of the Lord, Har, Har, I have sold my body to the Perfect Guru.

The True Guru, the Giver, has implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me. A very blessed and fortunate destiny is recorded upon my forehead. ||1||

Through the Guru's Teachings, I am lovingly centered on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 022

The All-pervading Sovereign Lord King is contained in each and every heart. Through the Guru, and the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I am lovingly centered on the Lord.

Cutting my mind and body into pieces, I offer them to my Guru. The Guru's Teachings have dispelled my doubt and fear. ||2||

In the darkness, the Guru has lit the lamp of the Guru's wisdom; I am lovingly focused on the Lord.

The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled, and my mind has been awakened; within the home of my inner being, I have found the genuine article. ||3||

The vicious hunters, the faithless cynics, are hunted down by the Messenger of Death.

They have not sold their heads to the True Guru; those wretched, unfortunate ones continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||4||

Hear my prayer, O God, my Lord and Master: I beg for the Sanctuary of the Lord God.

Servant Nanak's honor and respect is the Guru; he has sold his head to the True Guru. ||5||10||24||62||

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

I am egotistical and conceited, and my intellect is ignorant. Meeting the Guru, my selfishness and conceit have been abolished.

The illness of egotism is gone, and I have found peace. Blessed, blessed is the Guru, the Sovereign Lord King. ||1||
