Give up all your clever tricks, O Nanak, and He shall absorb you into Himself. ||1||

Pauree:

SASSA: Give up your clever tricks, you ignorant fool!

God is not pleased with clever tricks and commands.

You may practice a thousand forms of cleverness,

but not even one will go along with you in the end.

Meditate on that Lord, that Lord, day and night.

O soul, He alone shall go along with you.

Those whom the Lord Himself commits to the service of the Holy,

O Nanak, are not afflicted by suffering. ||50||

Shalok:

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and keeping it in your mind, you shall find peace.

O Nanak, the Lord is pervading everywhere; He is contained in all spaces and interspaces. ||1||

Pauree:

Behold! The Lord God is totally pervading each and every heart.

Forever and ever, the Guru's wisdom has been the Destroyer of pain.

Quieting the ego, ecstasy is obtained. Where the ego does not exist, God Himself is there.

The pain of birth and death is removed, by the power of the Society of the Saints.

He becomes kind to those who lovingly enshrine the Name of the Merciful Lord within their hearts, in the Society of the Saints.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 111

In this world, no one accomplishes anything by himself.

O Nanak, everything is done by God. ||51||

Shalok:

Because of the balance due on his account, he can never be released; he makes mistakes each and every moment.

O Forgiving Lord, please forgive me, and carry Nanak across. ||1||

Pauree:

The sinner is unfaithful to himself; he is ignorant, with shallow understanding.

He does not know the essence of all, the One who gave him body, soul and peace.

For the sake of personal profit and Maya, he goes out, searching in the ten directions.

He does not enshrine the Generous Lord God, the Great Giver, in his mind, even for an instant.

Greed, falsehood, corruption and emotional attachment - these are what he collects within his mind.

The worst perverts, thieves and slanderers - he passes his time with them.

But if it pleases You, Lord, then You forgive the counterfeit along with the genuine.

O Nanak, if it pleases the Supreme Lord God, then even a stone will float on water. ||52||

Shalok:

Eating, drinking, playing and laughing, I have wandered through countless incarnations.

Please, God, lift me up and out of the terrifying world-ocean. Nanak seeks Your Support. ||1||

Pauree:

Playing, playing, I have been reincarnated countless times, but this has only brought pain.

Troubles are removed, when one meets with the Holy; immerse yourself in the Word of the True Guru.

Adopting an attitude of tolerance, and gathering truth, partake of the Ambrosial Nectar of the Name.
