When my Lord and Master showed His Great Mercy, I found peace, happiness and bliss.

My merchandise has arrived safely, and I have made a great profit; I have returned home with honor.

The Guru has given me great consolation, and the Lord God has come to meet me.

He Himself has acted, and He Himself acts. He was in the past, and He shall be in the future.

O Nanak, praise the One, who is contained in each and every heart. ||53||

Shalok:

O God, I have come to Your Sanctuary, O Merciful Lord, Ocean of compassion.

One whose mind is filled with the One Word of the Lord, O Nanak, becomes totally blissful. ||1||

Pauree:

In the Word, God established the three worlds.

Created from the Word, the Vedas are contemplated.

From the Word, came the Shaastras, Simritees and Puraanas.

From the Word, came the sound current of the Naad, speeches and explanations.

From the Word, comes the way of liberation from fear and doubt.

From the Word, come religious rituals, karma, sacredness and Dharma.

In the visible universe, the Word is seen.

O Nanak, the Supreme Lord God remains unattached and untouched. ||54||

Shalok:

With pen in hand, the Inaccessible Lord writes man's destiny on his forehead.

The Lord of Incomparable Beauty is involved with all.

I cannot describe Your Praises with my mouth, O Lord.

Nanak is fascinated, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; he is a sacrifice to You. ||1||

Pauree:

O Immovable Lord, O Supreme Lord God, Imperishable, Destroyer of sins:

O Perfect, All-pervading Lord, Destroyer of pain, Treasure of virtue:

O Companion, Formless, Absolute Lord, Support of all:

O Lord of the Universe, Treasure of excellence, with clear eternal understanding:

Most Remote of the Remote, Lord God: You are, You were, and You shall always be.

O Constant Companion of the Saints, You are the Support of the unsupported.

O my Lord and Master, I am Your slave. I am worthless, I have no worth at all.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 112

Nanak: grant me the Gift of Your Name, Lord, that I may string it and keep it within my heart. ||55||

Shalok:

The Divine Guru is our mother, the Divine Guru is our father; the Divine Guru is our Lord and Master, the Transcendent Lord.

The Divine Guru is my companion, the Destroyer of ignorance; the Divine Guru is my relative and brother.

The Divine Guru is the Giver, the Teacher of the Lord's Name. The Divine Guru is the Mantra which never fails.

The Divine Guru is the image of peace, truth and wisdom. The Divine Guru is the Philosopher's Stone - touching it, one is transformed.

The Divine Guru is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage, and the pool of divine nectar; bathing in the Guru's wisdom, one experiences the Infinite.
