Meditation, self-discipline, self-control and perfect greatness were obtained when the Merciful Lord, the Guru, became my Help and Support. ||3||

The Guru has dispelled pride, emotional attachment and superstition.

Nanak sees the Supreme Lord God pervading everywhere. ||4||81||150||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The blind beggar is better off than the vicious king.

Overcome by pain, the blind man invokes the Lord's Name. ||1||

You are the glorious greatness of Your slave.

The intoxication of Maya leads the others to hell. ||1||Pause||

Gripped by disease, they invoke the Name.

But those who are intoxicated with vice shall find no home, no place of rest. ||2||

One who is in love with the Lord's Lotus Feet,

does not think of any other comforts. ||3||

Forever and ever, meditate on God, your Lord and Master.

O Nanak, meet with the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||82||151||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Twenty-four hours a day, the highway robbers are my companions.

Granting His Grace, God has driven them away. ||1||

Everyone should dwell on the Sweet Name of such a Lord.

God is overflowing with all power. ||1||Pause||

The world-ocean is burning hot!

In an instant, God saves us, and carries us across. ||2||

There are so many bonds, they cannot be broken.

Remembering the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the fruit of liberation is obtained. ||3||

By clever devices, nothing is accomplished.

Grant Your Grace to Nanak, that he may sing the Glories of God. ||4||83||152||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Those who obtain the wealth of the Lord's Name

move freely in the world; all their affairs are resolved. ||1||

By great good fortune, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises are sung.

O Supreme Lord God, as You give, so do I receive. ||1||Pause||

Enshrine the Lord's Feet within your heart.

Get aboard this boat, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

Everyone who joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy,

obtains eternal peace; pain does not afflict them any longer. ||3||

With loving devotional worship, meditate on the treasure of excellence.

O Nanak, you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord. ||4||84||153||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord, our Friend, is totally pervading the water, the land and the skies.

Doubts are dispelled by continually singing the Lord's Glorious Praises. ||1||

While rising up, and while lying down in sleep, the Lord is always with you, watching over you.

Remembering Him in meditation, the fear of Death departs. ||1||Pause||

With God's Lotus Feet abiding in the heart,

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 047

all suffering comes to an end. ||2||

The One Lord is my hope, honor, power and wealth.
