Those who gather Truth, and the riches of the Lord's Name, are rich and very fortunate.

O Nanak, truthfulness and purity are obtained from Saints such as these. ||1||

Pauree:

SASSA: True, True, True is that Lord.

No one is separate from the True Primal Lord.

They alone enter the Lord's Sanctuary, whom the Lord inspires to enter.

Meditating, meditating in remembrance, they sing and preach the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Doubt and skepticism do not affect them at all.

They behold the manifest glory of the Lord.

They are the Holy Saints - they reach this destination.

Nanak is forever a sacrifice to them. ||3||

Shalok:

Why are you crying out for riches and wealth? All this emotional attachment to Maya is false.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 101

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O Nanak, all are reduced to dust. ||1||

Pauree:

DHADHA: The dust of the feet of the Saints is sacred.

Blessed are those whose minds are filled with this longing.

They do not seek wealth, and they do not desire paradise.

They are immersed in the deep love of their Beloved, and the dust of the feet of the Holy.

How can worldly affairs affect those who do not abandon the One Lord, and who go nowhere else?

One whose heart is filled with God's Name,

O Nanak, is a perfect spiritual being of God. ||4||

Shalok:

By all sorts of religious robes, knowledge, meditation and stubborn-mindedness, no one has ever met God.

Says Nanak, those upon whom God showers His Mercy, are devotees of spiritual wisdom. ||1||

Pauree:

NGANGA: Spiritual wisdom is not obtained by mere words of mouth.

It is not obtained through the various debates of the Shaastras and scriptures.

They alone are spiritually wise, whose minds are firmly fixed on the Lord.

Hearing and telling stories, no one attains Yoga.

They alone are spiritually wise, who remain firmly committed to the Lord's Command.

Heat and cold are all the same to them.

The true people of spiritual wisdom are the Gurmukhs, who contemplate the essence of reality;

O Nanak, the Lord showers His Mercy upon them. ||5||

Shalok:

Those who have come into the world without understanding are like animals and beasts.

O Nanak, those who become Gurmukh understand; upon their foreheads is such pre-ordained destiny. ||1||

Pauree:

They have come into this world to meditate on the One Lord.

But ever since their birth, they have been enticed by the fascination of Maya.

Upside-down in the chamber of the womb, they performed intense meditation.

They remembered God in meditation with each and every breath.

But now, they are entangled in things which they must leave behind.

They forget the Great Giver from their minds.
