Meeting the Guru, doubt and fear are dispelled. ||3||

Says Nanak, meditate on the One Lord;

behold Him in each and every heart. ||4||2||140||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

You alone are my Chief Advisor.

I serve You with the Support of the Guru. ||1||Pause||

By various devices, I could not find You.

Taking hold of me, the Guru has made me Your slave. ||1||

I have conquered the five tyrants.

By Guru's Grace, I have vanquished the army of evil. ||2||

I have received the One Name as His bounty and blessing.

Now, I dwell in peace, poise and bliss. ||3||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 061

The slaves of God are good.

O Nanak, their faces are radiant. ||4||3||141||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Hey, soul: your only Support is the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Whatever else you do or make happen, the fear of death still hangs over you. ||1||Pause||

He is not obtained by any other efforts.

By great good fortune, meditate on the Lord. ||1||

You may know hundreds of thousands of clever tricks,

but not even one will be of any use at all hereafter. ||2||

Good deeds done in the pride of ego are swept away, like the house of sand by water. ||3||

When God the Merciful shows His Mercy,

Nanak receives the Naam in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||4||4||142||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

I am a sacrifice, dedicated hundreds of thousands of times, to my Lord and Master.

His Name, and His Name alone, is the Support of the breath of life. ||1||Pause||

You alone are the Doer, the Cause of causes.

You are the Support of all beings and creatures. ||1||

O God, You are my power, authority and youth. You are absolute, without attributes, and also related, with the most sublime attributes. ||2||

Here and hereafter, You are my Savior and Protector.

By Guru's Grace, some understand You. ||3||

God is All-knowing, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

You are Nanak's strength and support. ||4||5||143||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Worship and adore the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

In the Society of the Saints, He dwells in the mind; doubt, emotional attachment and fear are vanquished. ||1||Pause||

The Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees are heard to proclaim

that the Lord's servant dwells as the highest of all. ||1||

All places are filled with fear - know this well.

Only the Lord's servants are free of fear. ||2||

People wander through 8.4 million incarnations.

God's people are not subject to birth and death. ||3||

Nanak has taken to the Sanctuary of the Lord's Holy Saints; he has given up power, wisdom, cleverness and egotism. ||4||6||144||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name.
