Attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind becomes immaculate. ||4||

Serving the True Guru, pollution is eradicated,

and then, one does not suffer death and rebirth, or get devoured by death. ||5||

You may study and examine the Shaastras and the Simritees,

but without the Name, no one is liberated. ||6||

Throughout the four ages, the Naam is the ultimate; reflect upon the Word of the Shabad.

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, only the Gurmukhs cross over. ||7||

The True Lord does not die; He does not come or go.

O Nanak, the Gurmukh remains absorbed in the Lord. ||8||1||

Gauree, Third Mehl:

Selfless service is the support of the breath of life of the Gurmukh.

Keep the Dear Lord enshrined in your heart.

The Gurmukh is honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||1||

O Pandit, O religious scholar, read about the Lord, and renounce your corrupt ways.

The Gurmukh crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 080

The Gurmukh eradicates egotism from within.

No filth sticks to the Gurmukh.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell within the mind of the Gurmukh. ||2||

Through karma and Dharma, good actions and righteous faith, the Gurmukh becomes true.

The Gurmukh burns away egotism and duality.

The Gurmukh is attuned to the Naam, and is at peace. ||3||

Instruct your own mind, and understand Him.

You may preach to other people, but no one will listen.

The Gurmukh understands, and is always at peace. ||4||

The self-willed manmukhs are such clever hypocrites.

No matter what they do, it is not acceptable.

They come and go in reincarnation, and find no place of rest. ||5||

The manmukhs perform their rituals, but they are totally selfish and conceited.

They sit there, like storks, pretending to meditate.

Caught by the Messenger of Death, they shall regret and repent in the end. ||6||

Without serving the True Guru, liberation is not obtained.

By Guru's Grace, one meets the Lord.

The Guru is the Great Giver, throughout the four ages. ||7||

For the Gurmukh, the Naam is social status, honor and glorious greatness.

Maya, the daughter of the ocean, has been slain.

O Nanak, without the Name, all clever tricks are false. ||8||2||

Gauree, Third Mehl:

Learn the Dharma of this age, O Siblings of Destiny;

all understanding is obtained from the Perfect Guru.

Here and hereafter, the Lord's Name is our Companion. ||1||

Learn of the Lord, and contemplate Him in your mind.

By Guru's Grace, your filth shall be washed away. ||1||Pause||

Through argument and debate, He cannot be found.

The mind and body are made insipid through the love of duality.
