Praise God, the Lord of the Universe, the Sustainer of the World; seek the Sanctuary of the Lord, our King.
Place your hopes in Him, for salvation and peace; all things come from Him.
I wandered around the four corners of the world and in the ten directions, but I saw nothing except Him.
I listened to the Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees, and I pondered over them in so many ways.
The Saving Grace of sinners, the Destroyer of fear, the Ocean of peace, the Formless Lord.
The Great Giver, the Enjoyer, the Bestower - there is no place at all without Him.
You shall obtain all that you desire, O Nanak, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||
Sing the Praises of the Lord, the Lord of the Universe, each and every day.
Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and vibrate, meditate on Him, O my friend. ||1||Pause||
Shalok:
Bow in humility to the Lord, over and over again, and enter the Sanctuary of the Lord, our King.
Doubt is eradicated, O Nanak, in the Company of the Holy, and the love of duality is eliminated. ||2||
Pauree:
The second day of the lunar cycle: Get rid of your evil-mindedness, and serve the Guru continually.
The jewel of the Lord's Name shall come to dwell in your mind and body, when you renounce sexual desire, anger and greed, O my friend.
Conquer death and obtain eternal life; all your troubles will depart.
Renounce your self-conceit and vibrate upon the Lord of the Universe; loving devotion to Him shall permeate your being.
Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 147
You shall earn profit and suffer no loss, and in the Court of the Lord you shall be honored.
Those who gather in the riches of the Lord's Name are truly wealthy, and very blessed.
So, when standing up and sitting down, vibrate upon the Lord, and cherish the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
O Nanak, evil-mindedness is eradicated, when the Supreme Lord God comes to dwell in the mind. ||2||
Shalok:
The world is in the grip of the three qualities; only a few attain the fourth state of absorption.
O Nanak, the Saints are pure and immaculate; the Lord abides within their minds. ||3||
Pauree:
The third day of the lunar cycle: Those who are bound by the three qualities gather poison as their fruit; now they are good, and now they are bad.
They wander endlessly in heaven and hell, until death annihilates them.
In pleasure and pain and worldly cynicism, they pass their lives acting in ego.
They do not know the One who created them; they think up all sorts of schemes and plans.
Their minds and bodies are distracted by pleasure and pain, and their fever never departs.
They do not realize the glorious radiance of the Supreme Lord God, the Perfect Lord and Master.
