Remembering Him in meditation, misfortune departs, and one comes to abide in peace and bliss.

O Nanak, meditate forever on the Lord - do not forget Him, even for an instant. ||2||

Pauree:

How can I estimate the glory of those, who have found the Lord, Har, Har?

One who seeks the Sanctuary of the Holy is released from bondage.

One who sings the Glorious Praises of the Imperishable Lord does not burn in the womb of reincarnation.

One who meets the Guru and the Supreme Lord God, who reads and understands, enters the state of Samaadhi.

Nanak has obtained that Lord Master, who is inaccessible and unfathomable. ||10||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

People do not perform their duties, but instead, they wander around aimlessly.

O Nanak, if they forget the Name, how can they ever find peace? ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

The bitter poison of corruption is everywhere; it clings to the substance of the world.

O Nanak, the humble being has realized that the Name of the Lord alone is sweet. ||2||

Pauree:

This is the distinguishing sign of the Holy Saint, that by meeting with him, one is saved.

The Messenger of Death does not come near him; he never has to die again.

He crosses over the terrifying, poisonous world-ocean.

So weave the garland of the Lord's Glorious Praises into your mind, and all your filth shall be washed away.

Nanak remains blended with his Beloved, the Supreme Lord God. ||11||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

O Nanak, approved is the birth of those, within whose consciousness the Lord abides.

Useless talk and babbling is useless, my friend. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

I have come to see the Supreme Lord God, the Perfect, Inaccessible, Wonderful Lord.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 171

Nanak has made the Lord's Name his wealth, by the Grace of the Perfect Guru. ||2||

Pauree:

Deception does not work with our Lord and Master; through their greed and emotional attachment, people are ruined.

They do their evil deeds, and sleep in the intoxication of Maya.

Time and time again, they are consigned to reincarnation, and abandoned on the path of Death.

They receive the consequences of their own actions, and are yoked to their pain.

O Nanak, if one forgets the Name, all the seasons are evil. ||12||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

While standing up, sitting down and sleeping, be at peace;

O Nanak, praising the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind and body are cooled and soothed. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

Filled with greed, he constantly wanders around; he does not do any good deeds.

O Nanak, the Lord abides within the mind of one who meets with the Guru. ||2||

Pauree:

All material things are bitter; the True Name alone is sweet.

Those humble servants of the Lord who taste it, come to savor its flavor.
