Those who long to live in doubt and emotional attachment, O Nanak, are total fools. ||1||

Pauree:

NGANGA: Death seizes those whom God has made into faithless cynics.

They are born and they die, enduring countless incarnations; they do not realize the Lord, the Supreme Soul.

They alone find spiritual wisdom and meditation,

whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy;

no one is emancipated by counting and calculating.

The vessel of clay shall surely break.

They alone live, who, while alive, meditate on the Lord.

They are respected, O Nanak, and do not remain hidden. ||21||

Shalok:

Focus your consciousness on His Lotus Feet, and the inverted lotus of your heart shall blossom forth.

The Lord of the Universe Himself becomes manifest, O Nanak, through the Teachings of the Saints. ||1||

Pauree:

CHACHA: Blessed, blessed is that day, when I became attached to the Lord's Lotus Feet.

After wandering around in the four quarters and the ten directions,

God showed His Mercy to me, and then I obtained the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

By pure lifestyle and meditation, all duality is removed.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the mind becomes immaculate.

Anxieties are forgotten, and the One Lord alone is seen,

O Nanak, by those whose eyes are anointed with the ointment of spiritual wisdom. ||22||

Shalok:

The heart is cooled and soothed, and the mind is at peace, chanting and singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

Show such Mercy, O God, that Nanak may become the slave of Your slaves. ||1||

Pauree:

CHHACHHA: I am Your child-slave.

I am the water-carrier of the slave of Your slaves.

Chhachha: I long to become the dust under the feet of Your Saints.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 105

Please shower me with Your Mercy, O Lord God!

I have given up my excessive cleverness and scheming,

and I have taken the support of the Saints as my mind's support.

Even a puppet of ashes attains the supreme status,

O Nanak, if it has the help and support of the Saints. ||23||

Shalok:

Practicing oppression and tyranny, he puffs himself up; he acts in corruption with his frail, perishable body.

He is bound by his egotistical intellect; O Nanak, salvation comes only through the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

Pauree:

JAJJA: When someone, in his ego, believes that he has become something,

he is caught in his error, like a parrot in a trap.

When he believes, in his ego, that he is a devotee and a spiritual teacher,

then, in the world hereafter, the Lord of the Universe shall have no regard for him at all.

When he believes himself to be a preacher,

he is merely a peddler wandering over the earth.
