Renounce your cleverness, and your cunning tricks.

Seek the Support of the Perfect Guru. ||1||

Your pain shall depart, and in peace, you shall sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Meeting the Perfect Guru, let yourself be absorbed in the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause||

The Guru has given me the Mantra of the Name of the Lord.

My worries are forgotten, and my anxiety is gone. ||2||

Meeting with the Merciful Guru, I am in ecstasy.

Showering His Mercy, He has cut away the noose of the Messenger of Death. ||3||

Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru;

Maya shall no longer harass me. ||4||53||122||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Perfect Guru Himself has saved me.

The self-willed manmukhs are afflicted with misfortune. ||1||

Chant and meditate on the Guru, the Guru, O my friend.

Your face shall be radiant in the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Enshrine the Feet of the Guru within your heart;

your pains, enemies and bad luck shall be destroyed. ||2||

The Word of the Guru's Shabad is your Companion and Helper.

O Siblings of Destiny, all beings shall be kind to you. ||3||

When the Perfect Guru granted His Grace,

says Nanak, I was totally, completely fulfilled. ||4||54||123||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Like beasts, they consume all sorts of tasty treats.

With the rope of emotional attachment, they are bound and gagged like thieves. ||1||

Their bodies are corpses, without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

They come and go in reincarnation, and are destroyed by pain. ||1||Pause||

They wear all sorts of beautiful robes,

but they are still just scarecrows in the field, frightening away the birds. ||2||

All bodies are of some use,

but those who do not meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are totally useless. ||3||

Says Nanak, those unto whom the Lord becomes Merciful,

join the Saadh Sangat, and meditate on the Lord of the Universe. ||4||55||124||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 041

The Word of the Guru's Shabad quiets worries and troubles.

Coming and going ceases, and all comforts are obtained. ||1||

Fear is dispelled, meditating on the Fearless Lord.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

I have enshrined the Lotus Feet of the Lord within my heart.

The Guru has carried me across the ocean of fire. ||2||

I was sinking down, and the Perfect Guru pulled me out.

I was cut off from the Lord for countless incarnations, and now the Guru united me with Him again. ||3||

Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru;

meeting Him, I have been saved. ||4||56||125||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, seek His Sanctuary.
