Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O my Lord and Master; Your servant has come to Your Door. ||8||2||14||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 092

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

He is immersed in the enjoyment of corrupt pleasures; engrossed in them, the blind fool does not understand. ||1||

"I am earning profits, I am getting rich", he says, as his life passes away. ||Pause||

"I am a hero, I am famous and distinguished; no one is equal to me."||2||

"I am young, cultured, and born of a good family." In his mind, he is proud and arrogant like this. ||3||

He is trapped by his false intellect, and he does not forget this until he dies. ||4||

Brothers, friends, relatives and companions who live after him - he entrusts his wealth to them. ||5||

That desire, to which the mind is attached, at the last moment, becomes manifest. ||6||

He may perform religious deeds, but his mind is egotistical, and he is bound by these bonds. ||7||

O Merciful Lord, please bless me Your Mercy, that Nanak may become the slave of Your slaves. ||8||3||15||44||Total||

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. By Guru's Grace:

Raag Gauree Poorbee, Chhant, First Mehl:

For the bride, the night is painful; sleep does not come.

The soul-bride has grown weak, in the pain of separation from her Husband Lord.

The soul-bride is wasting away, in the pain of separation from her Husband; how can she see Him with her eyes?

Her decorations, sweet foods, sensuous pleasures and delicacies are all false; they are of no account at all.

Intoxicated with the wine of youthful pride, she has been ruined, and her breasts no longer yield milk.

O Nanak, the soul-bride meets her Husband Lord, when He causes her to meet Him; without Him, sleep does not come to her. ||1||

The bride is dishonored without her Beloved Husband Lord.

How can she find peace, without enshrining Him in her heart?

Without her Husband, her home is not worth living in; go and ask your sisters and companions.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, there is no love and affection; but with her True Lord, she abides in peace. Through mental truthfulness and contentment, union with the True Friend is attained; through the Guru's Teachings, the Husb

O Nanak, that soul-bride who does not abandon the Naam, is intuitively absorbed in the Naam. ||2||

Come, O my sisters and companions - let's enjoy our Husband Lord.

I will ask the Guru, and write His Word as my love-note.

The Guru has shown me the True Word of the Shabad. The self-willed manmukhs will regret and repent.

My wandering mind became steady, when I recognized the True One.

The Teachings of Truth are forever new; the love of the Shabad is forever fresh.
