Please bless Nanak with the dust of the feet of the Holy. || 4 || 75 || 144 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: They wear and eat the gifts from the Lord; how can laziness help them, O mother? || 1 || Forgetting her Husband Lord, and attaching herself to other affairs, the soul-bride throws away the precious jewel in exchange for a mere shell. || 1 || Pause || Forsaking God, she is attached to other desires. But who has gained honor by saluting the slave? || 2 || They consume food and drink, delicious and sublime as ambrosial nectar. But the dog does not know the One who has bestowed these. || 3 || Says Nanak, I have been unfaithful to my own nature. Please forgive me, O God, O Searcher of hearts. || 4 || 76 || 145 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: I meditate on the Feet of God within my mind. This is my cleansing bath at all the sacred shrines of pilgrimage. || 1 || Meditate in remembrance on the Lord every day, O my Siblings of Destiny. Thus, the filth of millions of incarnations shall be taken away. || 1 || Pause || Enshrine the Lord's Sermon within your heart, and you shall obtain all the desires of your mind. || 2 || Redeemed is the life, death and birth of those, within whose hearts the Lord God abides. || 3 || Says Nanak, those humble beings are perfect, who are blessed with the dust of the feet of the Holy. || 4 || 77 || 146 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: They eat and wear what they are given, but still, they deny the Lord. The messengers of the Righteous Judge of Dharma shall hunt them down. || 1 || They are unfaithful to the One, who has given them body and soul. Through millions of incarnations, for so many lifetimes, they wander lost. || 1 || Pause || Such is the lifestyle of the faithless cynics; everything they do is evil. || 2 || Within their minds, they have forgotten that Lord and Master, who created the soul, breath of life, mind and body. || 3 || Their wickedness and corruption have increased - they are recorded in volumes of books. O Nanak, they are saved only by the Mercy of God, the Ocean of peace. || 4 || O Supreme Lord God, I have come to Your Sanctuary. Break my bonds, and carry me across, with the Lord's Name. || 1 || Second Pause || 78 || 147 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: For their own advantage, they make God their friend. He fulfills all their desires, and blesses them with the state of liberation. || 1 || Everyone should make Him such a friend. No one goes away empty-handed from Him. || 1 || Pause || For their own purposes, they enshrine the Lord in the heart; all pain, suffering and disease are taken away. || 2 || Their tongues learn the habit of chanting the Lord's Name, and all their works are brought to perfection. || 3 || So many times, Nanak is a sacrifice to Him; fruitful is the Blessed Vision, the Darshan, of my Lord of the Universe. || 4 || 79 || 148 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: Millions of obstacles are removed in an instant, for those who listen to the Sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. || 1 || They drink in the sublime essence of the Lord's Name, the Ambrosial Elixir. Meditating on the Lord's Feet, hunger is taken away. || 1 || Pause || The treasure of all happiness,
celestial peace and poise, are obtained by those, whose hearts are filled with the Lord God.
