The True Lord, of perfect perfection - no speech can take the mortal to Him.

God is Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, balanced in the state of Nirvaanaa.

He is not sustained by food; He has no hatred or vengeance; He is the Giver of peace.

No one can estimate His worth.

Countless devotees continually bow in reverence to Him.

In their hearts, they meditate on His Lotus Feet.

Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the True Guru;

by His Grace, he meditates on God. ||5||

Only a few obtain this ambrosial essence of the Lord's Name.

Drinking in this Nectar, one becomes immortal.

That person whose mind is illuminated by the treasure of excellence, never dies.

Twenty-four hours a day, he takes the Name of the Lord.

The Lord gives true instruction to His servant.

He is not polluted by emotional attachment to Maya.

In his mind, he cherishes the One Lord, Har, Har.

In the pitch darkness, a lamp shines forth.

O Nanak, doubt, emotional attachment and pain are erased. ||6||

In the burning heat, a soothing coolness prevails.

Happiness ensues and pain departs, O Siblings of Destiny.

The fear of birth and death is dispelled,

by the perfect Teachings of the Holy Saint.

Fear is lifted, and one abides in fearlessness.

All evils are dispelled from the mind.

He takes us into His favor as His own.

In the Company of the Holy, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Stability is attained; doubt and wandering cease,

O Nanak, listening with one's ears to the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||7||

He Himself is absolute and unrelated; He Himself is also involved and related.

Manifesting His power, He fascinates the entire world.

God Himself sets His play in motion.

Only He Himself can estimate His worth.

There is none, other than the Lord.

Permeating all, He is the One.

Through and through, He pervades in form and color.

He is revealed in the Company of the Holy.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 138

Having created the creation, He infuses His own power into it.

So many times, Nanak is a sacrifice to Him. ||8||18||

Shalok:

Nothing shall go along with you, except your devotion. All corruption is like ashes.

Practice the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. O Nanak, this is the most excellent wealth. ||1||

Joining the Company of the Saints, practice deep meditation.

Remember the One, and take the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Forget all other efforts, O my friend

- enshrine the Lord's Lotus Feet within your heart.

God is All-powerful; He is the Cause of causes.

Grasp firmly the object of the Lord's Name.

Gather this wealth, and become very fortunate.

Pure are the instructions of the humble Saints.
