So many are being drowned in emotional attachment and doubt; they dwell in the most horrible hell.

Please bless me with Your Mercy, God, and save me! Nanak places his hopes in You. ||3||

Shalok:

One who renounces egotistical pride is intelligent, wise and refined.

The four cardinal blessings, and the eight spiritual powers of the Siddhas are obtained, O Nanak, by meditating, vibrating on the Lord's Name. ||4||

Pauree:

The fourth day of the lunar cycle: Listening to the four Vedas, and contemplating the essence of reality, I have come to realize

that the treasure of all joy and comfort is found in sublime meditation on the Lord's Name.

One is saved from hell, suffering is destroyed, countless pains depart,

death is overcome, and one escapes the Messenger of Death, by absorption in the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.

Fear departs, and one savors the Ambrosial Nectar, imbued with the Love of the Formless Lord.

Pain, poverty and impurity are removed, with the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

The angels, the seers and the silent sages search for the Ocean of peace, the Sustainer of the world.

The mind becomes pure, and one's face is radiant, O Nanak, when one becomes the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||4||

Shalok:

The five evil passions dwell in the mind of one who is engrossed in Maya.

In the Saadh Sangat, one becomes pure, O Nanak, imbued with the Love of God. ||5||

Pauree:

The fifth day of the lunar cycle: They are the self-elect, the most distinguished, who know the true nature of the world.

The many colors and scents of flowers - all worldly deceptions are transitory and false.

People do not see, and they do not understand; they do not reflect upon anything.

The world is pierced through with attachment to tastes and pleasures, engrossed in ignorance.

Those who perform empty religious rituals will be born, only to die again. They wander through endless incarnations.

They do not meditate in remembrance on the Creator Lord; their minds do not understand.

By loving devotion to the Lord God, you shall not be polluted by Maya at all.

O Nanak, how rare are those, who are not engrossed in worldly entanglements. ||5||

Shalok:

The six Shaastras proclaim Him to be the greatest; He has no end or limitation.

The devotees look beauteous, O Nanak, when they sing the Glories of God at His Door. ||6||

Pauree:

The sixth day of the lunar cycle: The six Shaastras say, and countless Simritees assert,

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 148

that the Supreme Lord God is the most sublime and lofty. Even the thousand-tongued serpent does not know the limits of His Glories.

Naarad, the humble beings, Suk and Vyaasa sing the Praises of the Lord of the Universe.
