The Perfect Lord is totally permeating and pervading everywhere.

The Perfect Guru has dispelled all doubts.

Remembering the Lord in meditation, Nanak has found peace. ||4||8||77||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

Those who have died have been forgotten.

Those who survive have fastened their belts.

They are busily occupied in their affairs;

they cling twice as hard to Maya. ||1||

No one thinks of the time of death;

people grasp to hold that which shall pass away. ||1||Pause||

The fools - their bodies are bound down by desires.

They are mired in sexual desire, anger and attachment;

the Righteous Judge of Dharma stands over their heads.

Believing it to be sweet, the fools eat poison. ||2||

They say, "I shall tie up my enemy, and I shall cut him down. Who dares to set foot upon my land?

I am learned, I am clever and wise."

The ignorant ones do not recognize their Creator. ||3||

The Lord Himself knows His Own state and condition.

What can anyone say? How can anyone describe Him?

Whatever He attaches us to - to that we are attached.

Everyone begs for their own good. ||4||

Everything is Yours; You are the Creator Lord.

You have no end or limitation.

Please give this gift to Your servant,

that Nanak might never forget the Naam. ||5||9||78||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

By all sorts of efforts, people do not find salvation.

Through clever tricks, the weight is only piled on more and more.

Serving the Lord with a pure heart,

you shall be received with honor at God's Court. ||1||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 029

O my mind, hold tight to the Support of the Lord's Name.

The hot winds shall never even touch you. ||1||Pause||

Like a boat in the ocean of fear;

like a lamp which illumines the darkness;

like fire which takes away the pain of cold

- just so, chanting the Name, the mind becomes peaceful. ||2||

The thirst of your mind shall be quenched,

and all hopes shall be fulfilled.

Your consciousness shall not waver.

Meditate on the Ambrosial Naam as Gurmukh, O my friend. ||3||

He alone receives the panacea, the medicine of the Naam,

unto whom the Lord, in His Grace, bestows it.

One whose heart is filled with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har

- O Nanak, his pains and sorrows are eliminated. ||4||10||79||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

Even with vast sums of wealth, the mind is not satisfied.

Gazing upon countless beauties, the man is not satisfied.

He is so involved with his wife and sons - he believes that they belong to him.

That wealth shall pass away, and those relatives shall be reduced to ashes. ||1||

Without meditating and vibrating on the Lord, they are crying out in pain.
