-211The slaves of God are good. O Nanak, their faces are radiant. || 4 || 3 || 141 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: Hey, soul: your only Support is the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Whatever else you do or make happen, the fear of death still hangs over you. || 1 || Pause || He is not obtained by any other efforts. By great good fortune, meditate on the Lord. || 1 || You may know hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one will be of any use at all hereafter. || 2 || Good deeds done in the pride of ego are swept away, like the house of sand by water. || 3 || When God the Merciful shows His Mercy, Nanak receives the Naam in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. || 4 || 4 || 142 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: I am a sacrifice, dedicated hundreds of thousands of times, to my Lord and Master. His Name, and His Name alone, is the Support of the breath of life. || 1 || Pause || You alone are the Doer, the Cause of causes. You are the Support of all beings and creatures. || 1 || O God, You are my power, authority and youth. You are absolute, without attributes, and also related, with the most sublime attributes. || 2 || Here and hereafter, You are my Savior and Protector. By Guru's Grace, some understand You. || 3 | God is All-knowing, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. You are Nanak's strength and support. || 4 || 5 || 143 II GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: Worship and adore the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

Only the Lord's servants are free of fear. || 2 || People wander through 8.4 million incarnations. God's people are not subject to birth and death. || 3 || Nanak has taken to the Sanctuary of the Lord's Holy Saints; he has given up power, wisdom, cleverness and egotism. || 4 || 6 || 144 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: O my mind, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name. Serve the Lord continually and continuously; with each and every breath, meditate on the Lord. || 1 || Pause || In the Society of the Saints, the Lord dwells in the mind, and pain, suffering, darkness and doubt depart. ||1|| That humble being, who meditates on the Lord, by the Grace of the Saints, is not afflicted with pain. || 2 || Those unto whom the Guru gives the Mantra of the Lord's Name, are saved from the fire of Maya. || 3 || Be kind to Nanak, O God; let the Lord's Name dwell within my mind and body. || 4 || 7 || 145 || GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: With your tongue, chant the Name of the One Lord. In this world, it shall bring you peace, comfort and great joy; hereafter, it shall go with your soul, and shall be of use to you. || 1 || Pause 11 The disease of your ego shall be eradicated. By Guru's Grace, practice Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. || 1 || Those who taste the sublime essence of the Lord have their thirst quenched. || 2 || Those who have found the Lord, the Treasure of peace, shall not go anywhere else again. || 3 || Those, unto whom the Guru has given the Lord's Name, Har, Har - O Nanak, their fears are removed. || 4 || 8 || 146 ||
