Ang-151 — Chapter 47

all suffering comes to an end. ||2||

The One Lord is my hope, honor, power and wealth.

Within my mind is the Support of the True Banker. ||3||

I am the poorest and most helpless servant of the Holy.

O Nanak, giving me His Hand, God has protected me. ||4||85||154||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Taking my cleansing bath in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I have been purified.

Its reward surpasses the giving of charity at millions of solar eclipses. ||1||Pause||

With the Lord's Feet abiding in the heart,

the sinful mistakes of countless incarnations are removed. ||1||

I have obtained the reward of the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

I no longer have to gaze upon the way of death. ||2||

In thought, word and deed, seek the Support of the Lord of the Universe;

thus you shall be saved from the poisonous world-ocean. ||3||

Granting His Grace, God has made me His Own.

Nanak chants and meditates on the Chant of the Lord's Name. ||4||86||155||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Seek the Sanctuary of those who have come to know the Lord.

Your mind and body shall become cool and peaceful, imbued with the Feet of the Lord. ||1||

If God, the Destroyer of fear, does not dwell within your mind,

you shall spend countless incarnations in fear and dread. ||1||Pause||

Those who have the Lord's Name dwelling within their hearts

have all their desires and tasks fulfilled. ||2||

Birth, old age and death are in His Power,

so remember that All-powerful Lord with each breath and morsel of food. ||3||

The One God is my Intimate, Best Friend and Companion.

The Naam, the Name of my Lord and Master, is Nanak's only Support. ||4||87||156||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

When they are out and about, they keep Him enshrined in their hearts;

returning home, the Lord of the Universe is still with them. ||1||

The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is the Companion of His Saints.

Their minds and bodies are imbued with the Love of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

By Guru's Grace, one crosses over the world-ocean;

the sinful mistakes of countless incarnations are all washed away. ||2||

Honor and intuitive awareness are acquired through the Name of the Lord God.

The Teachings of the Perfect Guru are immaculate and pure. ||3||

Within your heart, meditate on the His Lotus Feet.

Nanak lives by beholding the Lord's Expansive Power. ||4||88||157||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Blessed is this place, where the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe are sung.

God Himself bestows peace and pleasure. ||1||Pause||

Misfortune occurs where the Lord is not remembered in meditation.

There are millions of joys where the Glorious Praises of the Lord are sung. ||1||

Forgetting the Lord, all sorts of pains and diseases come.

Serving God, the Messenger of Death will not even approach you. ||2||

Very blessed, stable and sublime is that place,

where the Name of God alone is chanted. ||3||

Wherever I go, my Lord and Master is with me.

Nanak has met the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||89||158||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

That mortal who meditates on the Lord of the Universe,

whether educated or uneducated, obtains the state of supreme dignity. ||1||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, meditate on the Lord of the World.

Without the Name, wealth and property are false. ||1||Pause||
