Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

When I opened it up and gazed upon the treasures of my father and grandfather,

then my mind became very happy. ||1||

The storehouse is inexhaustible and immeasurable, overflowing with priceless jewels and rubies. ||2||

The Siblings of Destiny meet together, and eat and spend,

but these resources do not diminish; they continue to increase. ||3||

Says Nanak, one who has such destiny written on his forehead,

becomes a partner in these treasures. ||4||31||100||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

I was scared, scared to death, when I thought that He was far away.

But my fear was removed, when I saw that He is pervading everywhere. ||1||

I am a sacrifice to my True Guru.

He shall not abandon me; He shall surely carry me across. ||1||Pause||

Pain, disease and sorrow come when one forgets the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Eternal bliss comes when one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

Do not say that anyone is good or bad.

Renounce your arrogant pride, and grasp the Feet of the Lord. ||3||

Says Nanak, remember the GurMantra;

you shall find peace at the True Court. ||4||32||101||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Those who have the Lord as their Friend and Companion

- tell me, what else do they need? ||1||

Those who are in love with the Lord of the Universe

- pain, suffering and doubt run away from them. ||1||Pause||

Those who have enjoyed the flavor of the Lord's sublime essence

are not attracted to any other pleasures. ||2||

Those whose speech is accepted in the Court of the Lord

- what do they care about anything else? ||3||

Those who belong to the One, unto whom all things belong

- O Nanak, they find a lasting peace. ||4||33||102||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Those who look alike upon pleasure and pain

- how can anxiety touch them? ||1||

The Lord's Holy Saints abide in celestial bliss.

They remain obedient to the Lord, the Sovereign Lord King. ||1||Pause||

Those who have the Carefree Lord abiding in their minds

- no cares will ever bother them. ||2||

Those who have banished doubt from their minds

are not afraid of death at all. ||3||

Those whose hearts are filled with the Lord's Name by the Guru

- says Nanak, all treasures come to them. ||4||34||103||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord of Unfathomable Form has His Place in the mind.

By Guru's Grace, a rare few come to understand this. ||1||

The Ambrosial Pools of the celestial sermon

- those who find them, drink them in. ||1||Pause||

The unstruck melody of the Guru's Bani vibrates in that most special place.

The Lord of the World is fascinated with this melody. ||2||

The numerous, countless places of celestial peace
