Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

Sins are washed away, chanting the Lord's Name, even for a moment.

So do the Lord's Work, and listen to the Lord's Sermon.

In the Lord's Court, O Nanak, your face shall be radiant. ||2||

Very fortunate are those humble beings in this world,

who sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, forever and ever.

Those who dwell upon the Lord's Name,

are the most wealthy and prosperous in the world.

Those who speak of the Supreme Lord in thought, word and deed

- know that they are peaceful and happy, forever and ever.

One who recognizes the One and only Lord as One,

understands this world and the next.

One whose mind accepts the Company of the Naam,

the Name of the Lord, O Nanak, knows the Immaculate Lord. ||3||

By Guru's Grace, one understands himself;

know that then, his thirst is quenched.

In the Company of the Holy, one chants the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har.

Such a devotee of the Lord is free of all disease.

Night and day, sing the Kirtan, the Praises of the One Lord.

In the midst of your household, remain balanced and unattached.

One who places his hopes in the One Lord

- the noose of Death is cut away from his neck.

One whose mind hungers for the Supreme Lord God,

O Nanak, shall not suffer pain. ||4||

One who focuses his conscious mind on the Lord God

- that Saint is at peace; he does not waver.

Those unto whom God has granted His Grace

- who do those servants need to fear?

As God is, so does He appear;

in His Own creation, He Himself is pervading.

Searching, searching, searching, and finally, success!

By Guru's Grace, the essence of all reality is understood.

Wherever I look, there I see Him, at the root of all things.

O Nanak, He is the subtle, and He is also the manifest. ||5||

Nothing is born, and nothing dies.

He Himself stages His own drama.

Coming and going, seen and unseen,

all the world is obedient to His Will.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 132

He Himself is All-in-Himself.

In His many ways, He establishes and disestablishes.

He is Imperishable; nothing can be broken.

He lends His Support to maintain the Universe.

Unfathomable and Inscrutable is the Glory of the Lord.

As He inspires us to meditate, O Nanak, so do we meditate. ||6||

Those who know God are glorious.

The whole world is redeemed by their teachings.

God's servants redeem all.

God's servants cause sorrows to be forgotten.

The Merciful Lord unites them with Himself.

Chanting the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they become ecstatic.

He alone is committed to serve them,

upon whom God bestows His Mercy, by great good fortune.

Those who chant the Naam find their place of rest.
