The Name of the Lord is so sweet, O my dear; taste it, and focus your consciousness on it.

Taste the sublime essence of the Lord with your tongue, my dear, and renounce the pleasures of other tastes.

You shall obtain the everlasting essence of the Lord when it pleases the Lord; your tongue shall be adorned with the Word of His Shabad.

Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, a lasting peace is obtained; so remain lovingly focused on the Naam.

From the Naam we originate, and into the Naam we shall pass; through the Naam, we are absorbed in the Truth.

O Nanak, the Naam is obtained through the Guru's Teachings; He Himself attaches us to it. ||2||

Working for someone else, O my dear, is like forsaking the bride, and going to foreign countries.

In duality, no one has ever found peace, O my dear; you are greedy for corruption and greed.

Greedy for corruption and greed, and deluded by doubt, how can anyone find peace?

Working for strangers is very painful; doing so, one sells himself and loses his faith in the Dharma.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 097

Bound by Maya, the mind is not stable. Each and every moment, it suffers in pain.

O Nanak, the pain of Maya is taken away by focusing one's consciousness on the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||3||

The self-willed manmukhs are foolish and crazy, O my dear; they do not enshrine the Shabad within their minds.

The delusion of Maya has made them blind, O my dear; how can they find the Way of the Lord?

How can they find the Way, without the Will of the True Guru? The manmukhs foolishly display themselves.

The Lord's servants are forever comfortable. They focus their consciousness on the Guru's Feet.

Those unto whom the Lord shows His Mercy, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord forever.

O Nanak, the jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the only profit in this world. The Lord Himself imparts this understanding to the Gurmukh. ||4||5||7||

Raag Gauree, Chhant, Fifth Mehl:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

My mind has become sad and depressed; how can I see God, the Great Giver?

My Friend and Companion is the Dear Lord, the Guru, the Architect of Destiny.

The One Lord, the Architect of Destiny, is the Master of the Goddess of Wealth; how can I, in my sadness, meet You?

My hands serve You, and my head is at Your Feet. My mind, dishonored, yearns for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

With each and every breath, I think of You, day and night; I do not forget You, for an instant, even for a moment.

O Nanak, I am thirsty, like the rainbird; how can I meet God, the Great Giver? ||1||

I offer this one prayer - please listen, O my Beloved Husband Lord.

My mind and body are enticed, beholding Your wondrous play.
