so is the mind of the Lord's humble servant attached to His Lotus Feet. ||3||

May I never forget You, for even an instant, O Great Giver!

Nanak's God is the Support of his breath of life. ||4||93||162||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Those humble beings who are accustomed to the Lord's sublime essence,

are pierced through with loving devotional worship of the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||1||Pause||

All other pleasures look like ashes;

without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is fruitless. ||1||

He Himself rescues us from the deep dark well.

Wondrous and Glorious are the Praises of the Lord of the Universe. ||2||

In the woods and meadows, and throughout the three worlds, the Sustainer of the Universe is pervading.

The Expansive Lord God is Merciful to all beings. ||3||

Says Nanak, that speech alone is excellent,

which is approved by the Creator Lord. ||4||94||163||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Every day, take your bath in the Sacred Pool of the Lord.

Mix and drink in the most delicious, sublime Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

The water of the Name of the Lord of the Universe is immaculate and pure.

Take your cleansing bath in it, and all your affairs shall be resolved. ||1||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 049

In the Society of the Saints, spiritual conversations take place.

The sinful mistakes of millions of incarnations are erased. ||2||

The Holy Saints meditate in remembrance, in ecstasy.

Their minds and bodies are immersed in supreme ecstasy. ||3||

Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to those who have obtained the treasure of the Lord's Feet. ||4||95||164||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Do only that, by which no filth or pollution shall stick to you.

Let your mind remain awake and aware, singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. ||1||Pause||

Meditate in remembrance on the One Lord; do not be in love with duality.

In the Society of the Saints, chant only the Name. ||1||

The karma of good actions, the Dharma of righteous living, religious rituals, fasts and worship

- practice these, but do not know any other than the Supreme Lord God. ||2||

Those who place their love in God - their works are brought to fruition. ||3||

Infinitely invaluable is that Vaishnaav, that worshipper of Vishnu,

says Nanak, who has renounced corruption. ||4||96||165||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

They desert you even when you are alive, O madman;

what good can they do when someone is dead? ||1||

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe in your mind and body - this is your pre-ordained destiny.

The poison of Maya is of no use at all. ||1||Pause||

Those who have eaten this poison of deception

- their thirst shall never depart. ||2||
