Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

- there, the Saints dwell, in the Company of the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

There is infinite joy, and no sorrow or duality.

The Guru has blessed Nanak with this home. ||4||35||104||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

What form of Yours should I worship and adore?

What Yoga should I practice to control my body? ||1||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 037

What is that virtue, by which I may sing of You?

What is that speech, by which I may please the Supreme Lord God? ||1||Pause||

What worship service shall I perform for You?

How can I cross over the terrifying world-ocean? ||2||

What is that penance, by which I may become a penitent?

What is that Name, by which the filth of egotism may be washed away? ||3||

Virtue, worship, spiritual wisdom, meditation and all service, O Nanak,

are obtained from the True Guru, when, in His Mercy and Kindness, He meets us. ||4||

They alone receive this merit, and they alone know God,

who are approved by the Giver of peace. ||1||Second Pause||36||105||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The body which you are so proud of, does not belong to you.

Power, property and wealth are not yours. ||1||

They are not yours, so why do you cling to them?

Only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is yours; it is received from the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

Children, spouse and siblings are not yours.

Dear friends, mother and father are not yours. ||2||

Gold, silver and money are not yours.

Fine horses and magnificent elephants are of no use to you. ||3||

Says Nanak, those whom the Guru forgives, meet with the Lord.

Everything belongs to those who have the Lord as their King. ||4||37||106||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

I place the Guru's Feet on my forehead,

and all my pains are gone. ||1||

I am a sacrifice to my True Guru.

I have come to understand my soul, and I enjoy supreme bliss. ||1||Pause||

I have applied the dust of the Guru's Feet to my face,

which has removed all my arrogant intellect. ||2||

The Word of the Guru's Shabad has become sweet to my mind,

and I behold the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

The Guru is the Giver of peace; the Guru is the Creator.

O Nanak, the Guru is the Support of the breath of life and the soul. ||4||38||107||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, seek the One who lacks nothing. ||1||

Make the Beloved Lord your friend.

Keep Him constantly in your mind; He is the Support of the breath of life. ||1||Pause||

O my mind, serve Him;

He is the Primal Being, the Infinite Divine Lord. ||2||

Place your hopes in the One

who is the Support of all beings, from the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages. ||3||

His Love brings eternal peace;

meeting the Guru, Nanak sings His Glorious Praises. ||4||39||108||
