Raag Gauree

Showing His Mercy, God has blended me with Himself. Taking me by the arm, He has made me His Own. I continually chant and meditate on the Sermon of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2|| Mantras, tantras, all-curing medicines and acts of atonement, Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 035 are all in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, the Support of the soul and the breath of life. I have obtained the true wealth of the Lord's Love. I have crossed over the treacherous world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3|| Sit in peace, O Saints, with the family of friends. Earn the wealth of the Lord, which is beyond estimation. He alone obtains it, unto whom the Guru has bestowed it. O Nanak, no one shall go away empty-handed. ||4||27||96|| Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl: The hands are sanctified instantly, and the entanglements of Maya are dispelled. Repeat constantly with your tongue the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and you shall find peace, O my friends, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1|| With pen and ink, write upon your paper the Name of the Lord, the Ambrosial Word of the Lord's Bani. ||1||Pause|| By this act, your sins shall be washed away. Remembering the Lord in meditation, you shall not be punished by the Messenger of Death. The couriers of the Righteous Judge of Dharma shall not touch you. The intoxication of Maya shall not entice you at all. ||2|| You shall be redeemed, and through you, the whole world shall be saved,

You shall be redeemed, and through you, the whole world shall be saved, if you chant the Name of the One and Only Lord. Practice this yourself, and teach others; instill the Lord's Name in your heart. ||3|| That person, who has this treasure upon his forehead - that person meditates on God. Twenty-four hours a day, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||4||28||97|| Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padas, Du-Padas: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: That which belongs to another - he claims as his own. That which he must abandon - to that, his mind is attracted. ||1|| Tell me, how can he meet the Lord of the World? That which is forbidden - with that, he is in love. ||1||Pause|| That which is false - he deems as true. That which is true - his mind is not attached to that at all. ||2|| He takes the crooked path of the unrighteous way; leaving the straight and narrow path, he weaves his way backwards. ||3|| God is the Lord and Master of both worlds. He, whom the Lord unites with Himself, O Nanak, is liberated. ||4||29||98|| Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl: In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, they come together through destiny. As long as the Lord commands, they enjoy their pleasures. ||1|| By burning oneself, the Beloved Lord is not obtained. Only by the actions of destiny does she rise up and burn herself, as a 'satee'. ||1||Pause||

Only by the actions of destiny does she rise up and burn herself, as a 'satee'. ||1||Pause|| Imitating what she sees, with her stubborn mind-set, she goes into the fire. She does not obtain the Company of her Beloved Lord, and she wanders through countless incarnations. ||2|| With pure conduct and self-restraint, she surrenders to her Husband Lord's Will; that woman shall not suffer pain at the hands of the Messenger of Death. ||3|| Says Nanak, she who looks upon the Transcendent Lord as her Husband, is the blessed 'satee'; she is received with honor in the Court of the Lord. ||4||30||99|| Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl: I am prosperous and fortunate, for I have received the True Name. I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, with natural, intuitive ease. ||1||Pause|| Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 036 When I opened it up and gazed upon the treasures of my father and grandfather, then my mind became very happy. ||1|| The storehouse is inexhaustible and immeasurable, overflowing with priceless jewels and rubies. ||2|| The Siblings of Destiny meet together, and eat and spend, but these resources do not diminish; they continue to increase. ||3|| Says Nanak, one who has such destiny written on his forehead, becomes a partner in these treasures. ||4||31||100|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: I was scared, scared to death, when I thought that He was far away. But my fear was removed, when I saw that He is pervading everywhere. ||1||

But my fear was removed, when I saw that He is pervading everywhere. ||1|| I am a sacrifice to my True Guru. He shall not abandon me; He shall surely carry me across. ||1||Pause|| Pain, disease and sorrow come when one forgets the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Eternal bliss comes when one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2|| Do not say that anyone is good or bad. Renounce your arrogant pride, and grasp the Feet of the Lord. ||3|| Says Nanak, remember the GurMantra; you shall find peace at the True Court. ||4||32||101|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those who have the Lord as their Friend and Companion - tell me, what else do they need? ||1|| Those who are in love with the Lord of the Universe - pain, suffering and doubt run away from them. ||1||Pause|| Those who have enjoyed the flavor of the Lord's sublime essence are not attracted to any other pleasures. ||2|| Those whose speech is accepted in the Court of the Lord - what do they care about anything else? ||3|| Those who belong to the One, unto whom all things belong - O Nanak, they find a lasting peace. ||4||33||102|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those who look alike upon pleasure and pain - how can anxiety touch them? ||1|| The Lord's Holy Saints abide in celestial bliss. They remain obedient to the Lord, the Sovereign Lord King. ||1||Pause|| Those who have the Carefree Lord abiding in their minds - no cares will ever bother them. ||2||

- no cares will ever bother them. ||2|| Those who have banished doubt from their minds are not afraid of death at all. ||3|| Those whose hearts are filled with the Lord's Name by the Guru - says Nanak, all treasures come to them. ||4||34||103|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The Lord of Unfathomable Form has His Place in the mind. By Guru's Grace, a rare few come to understand this. ||1|| The Ambrosial Pools of the celestial sermon - those who find them, drink them in. ||1||Pause|| The unstruck melody of the Guru's Bani vibrates in that most special place. The Lord of the World is fascinated with this melody. ||2|| The numerous, countless places of celestial peace - there, the Saints dwell, in the Company of the Supreme Lord God. ||3|| There is infinite joy, and no sorrow or duality. The Guru has blessed Nanak with this home. ||4||35||104|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: What form of Yours should I worship and adore? What Yoga should I practice to control my body? ||1|| Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 037 What is that virtue, by which I may sing of You? What is that speech, by which I may please the Supreme Lord God? ||1||Pause|| What worship service shall I perform for You? How can I cross over the terrifying world-ocean? ||2|| What is that penance, by which I may become a penitent? What is that Name, by which the filth of egotism may be washed away? ||3|| Virtue, worship, spiritual wisdom, meditation and all service, O Nanak,

Virtue, worship, spiritual wisdom, meditation and all service, O Nanak, are obtained from the True Guru, when, in His Mercy and Kindness, He meets us. ||4|| They alone receive this merit, and they alone know God, who are approved by the Giver of peace. ||1||Second Pause||36||105|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The body which you are so proud of, does not belong to you. Power, property and wealth are not yours. ||1|| They are not yours, so why do you cling to them? Only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is yours; it is received from the True Guru. ||1||Pause|| Children, spouse and siblings are not yours. Dear friends, mother and father are not yours. ||2|| Gold, silver and money are not yours. Fine horses and magnificent elephants are of no use to you. ||3|| Says Nanak, those whom the Guru forgives, meet with the Lord. Everything belongs to those who have the Lord as their King. ||4||37||106|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: I place the Guru's Feet on my forehead, and all my pains are gone. ||1|| I am a sacrifice to my True Guru. I have come to understand my soul, and I enjoy supreme bliss. ||1||Pause|| I have applied the dust of the Guru's Feet to my face, which has removed all my arrogant intellect. ||2|| The Word of the Guru's Shabad has become sweet to my mind, and I behold the Supreme Lord God. ||3|| The Guru is the Giver of peace; the Guru is the Creator. O Nanak, the Guru is the Support of the breath of life and the soul. ||4||38||107||

O Nanak, the Guru is the Support of the breath of life and the soul. ||4||38||107|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: O my mind, seek the One who lacks nothing. ||1|| Make the Beloved Lord your friend. Keep Him constantly in your mind; He is the Support of the breath of life. ||1||Pause|| O my mind, serve Him; He is the Primal Being, the Infinite Divine Lord. ||2|| Place your hopes in the One who is the Support of all beings, from the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages. ||3|| His Love brings eternal peace; meeting the Guru, Nanak sings His Glorious Praises. ||4||39||108|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Whatever my Friend does, I accept. My Friend's actions are pleasing to me. ||1|| Within my conscious mind, the One Lord is my only Support. One who does this is my Friend. ||1||Pause|| My Friend is Carefree. By Guru's Grace, I give my love to Him. ||2|| My Friend is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. He is the All-powerful Being, the Supreme Lord and Master. ||3|| I am Your servant; You are my Lord and Master. Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 038 Nanak: my honor and glory are Yours, God. ||4||40||109|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those who have You on their side, O All-powerful Lord - no black stain can stick to them. ||1|| O Lord of wealth, those who place their hopes in You - nothing of the world can touch them at all. ||1||Pause|| Those whose hearts are filled with their Lord and Master - no anxiety can affect them. ||2||

- no anxiety can affect them. ||2|| Those, unto whom You give Your consolation, God - pain does not even approach them. ||3|| Says Nanak, I have found that Guru, who has shown me the Perfect, Supreme Lord God. ||4||41||110|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: This human body is so difficult to obtain; it is only obtained by great good fortune. Those who do not meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are murderers of the soul. ||1|| Those who forget the Lord might just as well die. Without the Naam, of what use are their lives? ||1||Pause|| Eating, drinking, playing, laughing and showing off - what use are the ostentatious displays of the dead? ||2|| Those who do not listen to the Praises of the Lord of supreme bliss, are worse off than beasts, birds or creeping creatures. ||3|| Says Nanak, the GurMantra has been implanted within me; the Name alone is contained within my heart. ||4||42||111|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Whose mother is this? Whose father is this? They are relatives in name only- they are all false. ||1|| Why are you screaming and shouting, you fool? By good destiny and the Lord's Order, you have come into the world. ||1||Pause|| There is the one dust, the one light, the one praanic wind. Why are you crying? For whom do you cry? ||2|| People weep and cry out, "Mine, mine!" This soul is not perishable. ||3|| Says Nanak, the Guru has opened my shutters; I am liberated, and my doubts have been dispelled. ||4||43||112||

I am liberated, and my doubts have been dispelled. ||4||43||112|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those who seem to be great and powerful, are afflicted by the disease of anxiety. ||1|| Who is great by the greatness of Maya? They alone are great, who are lovingly attached to the Lord. ||1||Pause|| The landlord fights over his land each day. He shall have to leave it in the end, and yet his desire is still not satisfied. ||2|| Says Nanak, this is the essence of Truth: without the Lord's meditation, there is no salvation. ||3||44||113|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Perfect is the path; perfect is the cleansing bath. Everything is perfect, if the Naam is in the heart. ||1|| One's honor remains perfect, when the Perfect Lord preserves it. His servant takes to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||1||Pause|| Perfect is the peace; perfect is the contentment. Perfect is the penance; perfect is the Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. ||2|| On the Lord's Path, sinners are purified. Perfect is their glory; perfect is their humanity. ||3|| They dwell forever in the Presence of the Creator Lord. Says Nanak, my True Guru is Perfect. ||4||45||114|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Millions of sins are wiped away by the dust of the feet of the Saints. Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 039 By the Grace of the Saints, one is released from birth and death. ||1|| The Blessed Vision of the Saints is the perfect cleansing bath.

The Blessed Vision of the Saints is the perfect cleansing bath. By the Grace of the Saints, one comes to chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| In the Society of the Saints, egotism is shed, and the One Lord is seen everywhere. ||2|| By the pleasure of the Saints, the five passions are overpowered, and the heart is irrigated with the Ambrosial Naam. ||3|| Says Nanak, one whose karma is perfect, touches the feet of the Holy. ||4||46||115|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Meditating on the Glories of the Lord, the heart-lotus blossoms radiantly. Remembering the Lord in meditation, all fears are dispelled. ||1|| Perfect is that intellect, by which the Glorious Praises of the Lord are sung. By great good fortune, one finds the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause|| In the Saadh Sangat, the treasure of the Name is obtained. In the Saadh Sangat, all one's works are brought to fruition. ||2|| Through devotion to the Lord, one's life is approved. By Guru's Grace, one chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3|| Says Nanak, that humble being is accepted, within whose heart the Lord God abides. ||4||47||116|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those whose minds are imbued with the One Lord, forget to feel jealous of others. ||1|| They see none other than the Lord of the Universe. The Creator is the Doer, the Cause of causes. ||1||Pause|| Those who work willingly, and chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har

Those who work willingly, and chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har - they do not waver, here or hereafter. ||2|| Those who possess the wealth of the Lord are the true bankers. The Perfect Guru has established their line of credit. ||3|| The Giver of life, the Sovereign Lord King meets them. Says Nanak, they attain the supreme status. ||4||48||117|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the Support of the breath of life of His devotees. The Naam is their wealth, the Naam is their occupation. ||1|| By the greatness of the Naam, His humble servants are blessed with glory. The Lord Himself bestows it, in His Mercy. ||1||Pause|| The Naam is the home of peace of His devotees. Attuned to the Naam, His devotees are approved. ||2|| The Name of the Lord is the support of His humble servants. With each and every breath, they remember the Naam. ||3|| Says Nanak, those who have perfect destiny - their minds are attached to the Naam. ||4||49||118|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: By the Grace of the Saints, I meditated on the Name of the Lord. Since then, my restless mind has been satisfied. ||1|| I have obtained the home of peace, singing His Glorious Praises. My troubles have ended, and the demon has been destroyed. ||1||Pause|| Worship and adore the Lotus Feet of the Lord God. Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, my anxiety has come to an end. ||2|| I have renounced all - I am an orphan. I have come to the Sanctuary of the One Lord.

I have renounced all - I am an orphan. I have come to the Sanctuary of the One Lord. Since then, I have found the highest celestial home. ||3|| My pains, troubles, doubts and fears are gone. The Creator Lord abides in Nanak's mind. ||4||50||119|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: With my hands I do His work; with my tongue I sing His Glorious Praises. Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 040 With my feet, I walk on the Path of my Lord and Master. ||1|| It is a good time, when I remember Him in meditation. Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause|| With your eyes, behold the Blessed Vision of the Saints. Record the Immortal Lord God within your mind. ||2|| Listen to the Kirtan of His Praises, at the Feet of the Holy. Your fears of birth and death shall depart. ||3|| Enshrine the Lotus Feet of your Lord and Master within your heart. Thus this human life, so difficult to obtain, shall be redeemed. ||4||51||120|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Those, upon whom the Lord Himself showers His Mercy, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, with their tongues. ||1|| Forgetting the Lord, superstition and sorrow shall overtake you. Meditating on the Naam, doubt and fear shall depart. ||1||Pause|| Listening to the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, and singing the Lord's Kirtan, misfortune shall not even come near you. ||2|| Working for the Lord, His humble servants look beautiful.

Working for the Lord, His humble servants look beautiful. The fire of Maya does not touch them. ||3|| Within their minds, bodies and mouths, is the Name of the Merciful Lord. Nanak has renounced other entanglements. ||4||52||121|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Renounce your cleverness, and your cunning tricks. Seek the Support of the Perfect Guru. ||1|| Your pain shall depart, and in peace, you shall sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Meeting the Perfect Guru, let yourself be absorbed in the Lord's Love. ||1||Pause|| The Guru has given me the Mantra of the Name of the Lord. My worries are forgotten, and my anxiety is gone. ||2|| Meeting with the Merciful Guru, I am in ecstasy. Showering His Mercy, He has cut away the noose of the Messenger of Death. ||3|| Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru; Maya shall no longer harass me. ||4||53||122|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The Perfect Guru Himself has saved me.

Your face shall be radiant in the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| Enshrine the Feet of the Guru within your heart; your pains, enemies and bad luck shall be destroyed. ||2|| The Word of the Guru's Shabad is your Companion and Helper. O Siblings of Destiny, all beings shall be kind to you. ||3|| When the Perfect Guru granted His Grace, says Nanak, I was totally, completely fulfilled. ||4||54||123||

says Nanak, I was totally, completely fulfilled. ||4||54||123|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Like beasts, they consume all sorts of tasty treats. With the rope of emotional attachment, they are bound and gagged like thieves. ||1|| Their bodies are corpses, without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. They come and go in reincarnation, and are destroyed by pain. ||1||Pause|| They wear all sorts of beautiful robes, but they are still just scarecrows in the field, frightening away the birds. ||2|| All bodies are of some use, but those who do not meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are totally useless. ||3|| Says Nanak, those unto whom the Lord becomes Merciful, join the Saadh Sangat, and meditate on the Lord of the Universe. ||4||55||124|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 041 The Word of the Guru's Shabad quiets worries and troubles. Coming and going ceases, and all comforts are obtained. ||1|| Fear is dispelled, meditating on the Fearless Lord. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause|| I have enshrined the Lotus Feet of the Lord within my heart. The Guru has carried me across the ocean of fire. ||2|| I was sinking down, and the Perfect Guru pulled me out. I was cut off from the Lord for countless incarnations, and now the Guru united me with Him again. ||3|| Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru;

Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru; meeting Him, I have been saved. ||4||56||125|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, seek His Sanctuary. Place your mind and body in offering before Him. ||1|| Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Name, O my Siblings of Destiny. Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord, the fire of desire is totally quenched. ||1||Pause|| Renounce your arrogant pride, and end the cycle of birth and death. Bow in humility to the feet of the Lord's slave. ||2|| Remember God in your mind, with each and every breath.

Sacred are those feet, which walk on the Lord's Path. ||3|| Says Nanak, auspicious is my karma, which has led me to touch the Feet of the Holy. ||4||60||129|| Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 042 Gauree, Fifth Mehl: Keep the Word of the Guru's Shabad in your mind. Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all anxiety is removed. ||1||

Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all anxiety is removed. ||1|| Without the Lord God, there is no one else at all.

By His Glance of Grace, eternal peace is obtained. ||2|| Make the One Lord your friend, intimate and companion. Write in your mind the Word of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3|| The Lord Master is totally pervading everywhere. Nanak sings the Praises of the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||62||131|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The whole world is engrossed in fear. Those who have the Naam, the Name of the Lord, as their Support, feel no fear. ||1|| Fear does not affect those who take to Your Sanctuary. You do whatever You please. ||1||Pause|| In pleasure and in pain, the world is coming and going in reincarnation.

In pleasure and in pain, the world is coming and going in reincarnation. Those who are pleasing to God, find peace. ||2|| Maya pervades the awesome ocean of fire. Those who have found the True Guru are calm and cool. ||3|| Please preserve me, O God, O Great Preserver! Says Nanak, what a helpless creature I am! ||4||63||132|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: By Your Grace, I chant Your Name.

Without the Naam, cursed is the body, which shall be taken back by Death. ||1||Pause|| Without the Naam, no one's face shows good fortune. Without the Husband, where is the marriage? ||2|| Forgetting the Naam, and attached to other tastes, no desires are fulfilled. ||3|| O God, grant Your Grace, and give me this gift. Please, let Nanak chant Your Name, day and night. ||4||65||134||

Please, let Nanak chant Your Name, day and night. ||4||65||134|| Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 043 Gauree, Fifth Mehl: You are All-powerful, You are my Lord and Master.

The One Lord is contained in the water, the land and the sky. ||1||Pause|| Their inner beings are filled with poison, and yet with their mouths, they preach words of Ambrosial Nectar. Bound and gagged in the City of Death, they are punished and beaten. ||2|| Hiding behind many screens, they commit acts of corruption, but in an instant, they are revealed to all the world. ||3|| Those whose inner beings are true, who are attuned to the ambrosial essence of the Naam, the Name of the Lord - O Nanak, the Lord, the Architect of Destiny, is merciful to them. ||4||71||140|| Gauree, Fifth Mehl: The Lord's Love shall never leave or depart.

The Love of the Beloved, the Architect of Destiny, is perfect. ||1||Pause|| Sitting in the Society of the Saints, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
