I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord's Prime Minister;

beholding Him, my mind is comforted and consoled. ||3||

The One Lord is my support, the One is my steady anchor.

Servant Nanak is engaged in the Lord's work. ||4||11||149||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Is there anyone, who can shatter his ego,

and turn his mind away from this sweet Maya? ||1||Pause||

Humanity is in spiritual ignorance; people see things that do not exist.

The night is dark and gloomy; how will the morning dawn? ||1||

Wandering, wandering all around, I have grown weary; trying all sorts of things, I have been searching.

Says Nanak, He has shown mercy to me; I have found the treasure of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||12||150||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

He is the Wish-fulfilling Jewel, the Embodiment of Mercy. ||1||Pause||

The Supreme Lord God is Merciful to the meek;

meditating in remembrance on Him, peace is obtained. ||1||

The Wisdom of the Undying Primal Being is beyond comprehension.

Hearing His Praises, millions of sins are erased. ||2||

O God, Treasure of Mercy, please bless Nanak with Your kindness, that he may repeat the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||13||151||

Gauree Poorbee, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, in the Sanctuary of God, peace is found.

That day, when the Giver of life and peace is forgotten - that day passes uselessly. ||1||Pause||

You have come as a guest for one short night, and yet you hope to live for many ages.

Households, mansions and wealth - whatever is seen, is like the shade of a tree. ||1||

My body, wealth, and all my gardens and property shall all pass away.

You have forgotten your Lord and Master, the Great Giver. In an instant, these shall belong to somebody else. ||2||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 063

You wear white clothes and take cleansing baths, and anoint yourself with sandalwood oil.

But you do not remember the Fearless, Formless Lord - you are like an elephant bathing in the mud. ||3||

When God becomes merciful, He leads you to meet the True Guru; all peace is in the Name of the Lord.

The Guru has liberated me from bondage; servant Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||14||152||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, dwell always upon the Guru, Guru, Guru.

The Guru has made the jewel of this human life prosperous and fruitful. I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. ||1||Pause||

As many breaths and morsels as you take, O my mind - so many times, sing His Glorious Praises.

When the True Guru becomes merciful, then this wisdom and understanding is obtained. ||1||

O my mind, taking the Naam, you shall be released from the bondage of death, and the peace of all peace will be found.
