Serving God, the Messenger of Death will not even approach you. ||2||

Very blessed, stable and sublime is that place,

where the Name of God alone is chanted. ||3||

Wherever I go, my Lord and Master is with me.

Nanak has met the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||89||158||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

That mortal who meditates on the Lord of the Universe,

whether educated or uneducated, obtains the state of supreme dignity. ||1||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, meditate on the Lord of the World.

Without the Name, wealth and property are false. ||1||Pause||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 048

They alone are handsome, clever and wise,

who surrender to the Will of God. ||2||

Blessed is their coming into this world,

if they recognize their Lord and Master in each and every heart. ||3||

Says Nanak, their good fortune is perfect,

if they enshrine the Lord's Feet within their minds. ||4||90||159||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord's servant does not associate with the faithless cynic.

One is in the clutches of vice, while the other is in love with the Lord. ||1||Pause||

It would be like an imaginary rider on a decorated horse,

or a eunuch caressing a woman. ||1||

It would be like tying up an ox and trying to milk it,

or riding a cow to chase a tiger. ||2||

It would be like taking a sheep and worshipping it as the Elysian cow,

the giver of all blessings; it would be like going out shopping without any money. ||3||

O Nanak, consciously meditate on the Lord's Name.

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord Master, your Best Friend. ||4||91||160||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Pure and steady is that intellect,

which drinks in the Lord's sublime essence. ||1||

Keep the Support of the Lord's Feet in your heart,

and you shall be saved from the cycle of birth and death. ||1||Pause||

Pure is that body, in which sin does not arise.

In the Love of the Lord is pure glory. ||2||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, corruption is eradicated.

This is the greatest blessing of all. ||3||

Imbued with loving devotional worship of the Sustainer of the Universe,

Nanak asks for the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||4||92||161||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Such is my love for the Lord of the Universe;

through perfect good destiny, I have been united with Him. ||1||Pause||

As the wife is delighted upon beholding her husband,

so does the Lord's humble servant live by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

As the mother is rejuvenated upon seeing her son,

so is the Lord's humble servant imbued with Him, through and through. ||2||

As the greedy man rejoices upon beholding his wealth,
