21 The Fascinating and Beauteous Beloved is the Giver of support to all. I bow low and fall at the feet of the Guru; if only I could see the Lord! || 3 || I have made many friends, but I am a sacrifice to the One alone. No one has all virtues; the Lord alone is filled to overflowing with them. || 4 || His Name is chanted in the four directions; those who chant it are embellished with peace. I seek Your Protection; Nanak is a sacrifice to You. || 5 || The Guru reached out to me, and gave me His Arm; He lifted me up, out of the pit of emotional attachment. I have won the incomparable life, and I shall not lose it again. || 6 || I have obtained the treasure of all; His Speech is unspoken and subtle. In the Court of the Lord, I am honored and glorified; I swing my arms in joy. || 7 || Servant Nanak has received the invaluable and incomparable jewel. Serving the Guru, I cross over the terrifying world-ocean; I proclaim this loudly to all. || 8 || 1 || 12 |
GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Dve yourself in the color of the Lord's Love. Chant the Name of the One Lord with your tongue, and ask for Him alone. || 1 || Pause || Renounce your ego, and dwell upon the spiritual wisdom of the Guru. Those who have such pre-ordained destiny, join the Sangat, the Holy Congregation. || 1 || Whatever you see, shall not go with you. The foolish, faithless cynics are attached – they waste away and die. || 2 || The Name of the Fascinating Lord is all-pervading forever. Among millions, how rare is that Gurmukh who attains the Name. || 3 | Greet the Lord's Saints humbly, with deep respect. You shall obtain the nine treasures, and receive infinite peace. || 4 With your eyes, behold the holy people; in your heart, sing the treasure of the Naam. || 5 | Abandon sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment. Thus you shall be rid of both birth and death. || 6 || Pain and darkness shall depart from your home, when the Guru implants spiritual wisdom within you, and lights that lamp. || 7 One who serves the Lord crosses over to the other side. O servant Nanak, the Gurmukh saves the world. || 8 || 1 || 13 || FIFTH MEHL, GAUREE: Dwelling upon the Lord, Har, Har, and the Guru, the Guru, my doubts have been dispelled. My mind has obtained all comforts. || 1 || Pause |I was burning, on fire, and the Guru poured water on me; He is cooling and soothing, like the sandalwood tree. ||1|| The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled; the Guru has lit the lamp of spiritual wisdom. || 2 || The ocean of fire is so deep; the Saints have crossed over, in the boat of the Lord's Name. || 3 || I have no good karma; I have no Dharmic faith or purity. But God has taken me by the arm, and made me His own. || 4 || The Destroyer of fear, the Dispeller of pain, the Lover of His Saints — these are the Names of the Lord. || 5 || He is the Master of the masterless, Merciful to the meek, All-powerful, the Support of His Saints. || 6 | I am worthless - I offer this prayer, O my Lord King: "Please, grant me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan." || 7 || Nanak has come to Your Sanctuary, O my Lord and Master; Your servant has come to Your Door. || 8 || 2 || 14 ||
