Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

By His Grace, God has bestowed His Mercy.

O Nanak, my merchandise has arrived save and sound. ||4||

Sing the Praises of God, O Saints, O friends,

with total concentration and one-pointedness of mind.

Sukhmani is the peaceful ease, the Glory of God, the Naam.

When it abides in the mind, one becomes wealthy.

All desires are fulfilled.

One becomes the most respected person, famous all over the world.

He obtains the highest place of all.

He does not come and go in reincarnation any longer.

One who departs, after earning the wealth of the Lord's Name,

O Nanak, realizes it. ||5||

Comfort, peace and tranquility, wealth and the nine treasures;

wisdom, knowledge, and all spiritual powers;

learning, penance, Yoga and meditation on God;

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 146

The most sublime wisdom and purifying baths;

the four cardinal blessings, the opening of the heart-lotus;

in the midst of all, and yet detached from all;

beauty, intelligence, and the realization of reality;

to look impartially upon all, and to see only the One

- these blessings come to one who, through Guru Nanak, chants the Naam with his mouth, and hears the Word with his ears. ||6||

One who chants this treasure in his mind

- in every age, he attains salvation.

In it is the Glory of God, the Naam, the chanting of Gurbani.

The Simritees, the Shaastras and the Vedas speak of it.

The essence of all religion is the Lord's Name alone.

It abides in the minds of the devotees of God.

Millions of sins are erased, in the Company of the Holy.

By the Grace of the Saint, one escapes the Messenger of Death.

Those, who have such pre-ordained destiny on their foreheads,

O Nanak, enter the Sanctuary of the Saints. ||7||

One, within whose mind it abides, and who listens to it with love

- that humble person consciously remembers the Lord God.

The pains of birth and death are removed.

The human body, so difficult to obtain, is instantly redeemed.

Spotlessly pure is his reputation, and ambrosial is his speech.

The One Name permeates his mind.

Sorrow, sickness, fear and doubt depart.

He is called a Holy person; his actions are immaculate and pure.

His glory becomes the highest of all.

O Nanak, by these Glorious Virtues, this is named Sukhmani, Peace of mind. ||8||24||
