The heart is filled with anger and violence, which cause all sense to be forgotten.

The jewel of spiritual wisdom has been taken away from everyone; nothing can withstand it. ||1||

The Yogis have tried everything and failed; the virtuous have grown weary of singing God's Glories.

O servant Nanak, when the Lord becomes merciful, then every effort is successful. ||2||4||

Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

Holy Saadhus: sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

You have obtained the priceless jewel of this human life; why are you uselessly wasting it? ||1||Pause||

He is the Purifier of sinners, the Friend of the poor. Come, and enter the Lord's Sanctuary.

Remembering Him, the elephant's fear was removed; so why do you forget Him? ||1||

Renounce your egotistical pride and your emotional attachment to Maya; focus your consciousness on the Lord's meditation.

Says Nanak, this is the path to liberation. Become Gurmukh, and attain it. ||2||5||

Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

O mother, if only someone would instruct my wayward mind.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 070

This mind listens to the Vedas, the Puraanas, and the ways of the Holy Saints, but it does not sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, for even an instant. ||1||Pause||

Having obtained this human body, so very difficult to obtain, it is now being uselessly wasted.

Emotional attachment to Maya is such a treacherous wilderness, and yet, people are in love with it. ||1||

Inwardly and outwardly, God is always with them, and yet, they do not enshrine Love for Him.

O Nanak, know that those whose hearts are filled with the Lord are liberated. ||2||6||

Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

Holy Saadhus: rest and peace are in the Sanctuary of the Lord.

This is the blessing of studying the Vedas and the Puraanas, that you may meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Greed, emotional attachment to Maya, possessiveness, the service of evil, pleasure and pain - those who are not touched by these, are the very embodiment of the Divine Lord. ||1||

Heaven and hell, ambrosial nectar and poison, gold and copper - these are all alike to them.

Praise and slander are all the same to them, as are greed and attachment. ||2||

They are not bound by pleasure and pain - know that they are truly wise.

O Nanak, recognize those mortal beings as liberated, who live this way of life. ||3||7||

Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

O mind, why have you gone crazy?

Don't you know that your life is decreasing, day and night? Your life is made worthless with greed. ||1||Pause||

That body, which you believe to be your own, and your beautiful home and spouse

- none of these is yours to keep. See this, reflect upon it and understand. ||1||
