Ang-151 — Chapter 41

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;

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.

Gather only that wealth, which shall go with you. ||3||

He alone obtains it, upon whose forehead such destiny is written.

Says Nanak, fall at the Feet of that Lord. ||4||57||126||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The dried branches are made green again in an instant.

His Ambrosial Glance irrigates and revives them. ||1||

The Perfect Divine Guru has removed my sorrow.

He blesses His servant with His service. ||1||Pause||

Anxiety is removed, and the desires of the mind are fulfilled,

when the True Guru, the Treasure of Excellence, shows His Kindness. ||2||

Pain is driven far away, and peace comes in its place;

there is no delay, when the Guru gives the Order. ||3||

Desires are fulfilled, when one meets the True Guru;

O Nanak, His humble servant is fruitful and prosperous. ||4||58||127||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The fever has departed; God has showered us with peace and tranquility.

A cooling peace prevails; God has granted this gift. ||1||

By God's Grace, we have become comfortable.

Separated from Him for countless incarnations, we are now reunited with Him. ||1||Pause||

Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God's Name,

the dwelling of all disease is destroyed. ||2||

In intuitive peace and poise, chant the Word of the Lord's Bani.

Twenty-four hours a day, O mortal, meditate on God. ||3||

Pain, suffering and the Messenger of Death do not even approach that one,

says Nanak, who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||59||128||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Auspicious is the day, and auspicious is the chance,

which brought me to the Supreme Lord God, the Unjoined, Unlimited One. ||1||

I am a sacrifice to that time,

when my mind chants the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Blessed is that moment, and blessed is that time,

when my tongue chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Haree. ||2||

Blessed is that forehead, which bows in humility to the Saints.

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||
