Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

God showers His Mercy, and I sing His Praises.

The light of the jewel of the Naam permeates the entire world. ||5||

To the Gurmukhs, the Word of God's Bani seems so sweet.

Deep within, their hearts blossom forth; night and day, they lovingly center themselves on the Lord.

The True Lord is intuitively obtained, by His Grace.

The True Guru is obtained by the destiny of perfect good fortune. ||6||

Egotism, possessiveness, evil-mindedness and suffering depart,

when the Lord's Name, the Ocean of Virtue, comes to dwell within the heart.

The intellect of the Gurmukhs is awakened, and they praise God,

when the Lord's Lotus Feet come to dwell within the heart. ||7||

They alone receive the Naam, unto whom it is given.

The Gurmukhs shed their ego, and merge with the Lord.

The True Name abides within their hearts.

O Nanak, they are intuitively absorbed in the True Lord. ||8||7||

Gauree, Third Mehl:

The mind has intuitively healed itself, through the Fear of God.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 083

The mind is attuned to the Word of the Shabad; it is lovingly attuned to the Lord.

It abides within its own home, in harmony with the Lord's Will. ||1||

Serving the True Guru, egotistical pride departs,

and the Lord of the Universe, the Treasure of Excellence, is obtained. ||1||Pause||

The mind becomes detached and free of desire, when it experiences the Fear of God, through the Shabad.

My Immaculate God is pervading and contained among all.

By Guru's Grace, one is united in His Union. ||2||

The slave of the Lord's slave attains peace.

My Lord God is found in this way.

By the Grace of the Lord, one comes to sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

Cursed is that long life, during which love for the Lord's Name is not enshrined.

Cursed is that comfortable bed which lures one into the darkness of attachment to sexual desire.

Fruitful is the birth of that person who takes the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||

Cursed, cursed is that home and family, in which the love of the Lord is not embraced.

He alone is my friend, who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Without the Lord's Name, there is no other for me. ||5||

From the True Guru, I have obtained salvation and honor.

I have meditated on the Name of the Lord, and all my sufferings have been erased.

I am in constant bliss, lovingly attuned to the Lord's Name. ||6||

Meeting the Guru, I came to understand my body.

The fires of ego and desire have been totally quenched.

Anger has been dispelled, and I have grasped hold of tolerance. ||7||

The Lord Himself showers His Mercy, and bestows the Naam.

How rare is that Gurmukh, who receives the jewel of the Naam.
