152 : 41
Modesty, humility and intuitive understanding are my mother-in-law and father-in-law;

152 : 42
I have made good deeds my spouse. ||2||

152 : 43
Union with the Holy is my wedding date, and separation from the world is my marriage.

152 : 44
Says Nanak, Truth is the child born of this Union. ||3||3||

152 : 45
Gauree, First Mehl:

152 : 46
The union of air, water and fire

152 : 47
- the body is the play-thing of the fickle and unsteady intellect.

152 : 48
It has nine doors, and then there is the Tenth Gate.

152 : 49
Reflect upon this and understand it, O wise one. ||1||

152 : 50
The Lord is the One who speaks, teaches and listens.

152 : 51
One who contemplates his own self is truly wise. ||1||Pause||

152 : 52
The body is dust; the wind speaks through it.

152 : 53
Understand, O wise one, who has died.

152 : 54
Awareness, conflict and ego have died,

152 : 55
but the One who sees does not die. ||2||

152 : 56
For the sake of it, you journey to sacred shrines and holy rivers;

152 : 57
but this priceless jewel is within your own heart.

152 : 58
The Pandits, the religious scholars, read and read endlessly; they stir up arguments and controversies,

152 : 59
but they do not know the secret deep within. ||3||

152 : 60
I have not died - that evil nature within me has died.

152 : 61
The One who is pervading everywhere does not die.

152 : 62
Says Nanak, the Guru has revealed God to me,

152 : 63
and now I see that there is no such thing as birth or death. ||4||4||

152 : 64
Gauree, First Mehl, Dakhanee:

152 : 65
I am forever a sacrifice to the one who listens and hears, who understands and believes in the Name.

152 : 66
When the Lord Himself leads us astray, there is no other place of rest for us to find.

152 : 67
You impart understanding, and You unite us in Your Union. ||1||

152 : 68
I obtain the Naam, which shall go along with me in the end.

152 : 69
Without the Name, all are held in the grip of Death. ||1||Pause||

152 : 70
My farming and my trading are by the Support of the Name.

152 : 71
The seeds of sin and virtue are bound together.

152 : 72
Sexual desire and anger are the wounds of the soul.

152 : 73
The evil-minded ones forget the Naam, and then depart. ||2||

152 : 74
True are the Teachings of the True Guru.

152 : 75
The body and mind are cooled and soothed, by the touchstone of Truth.

152 : 76
This is the true mark of wisdom: that one remains detached, like the water-lily, or the lotus upon the water.

152 : 77
Attuned to the Word of the Shabad, one becomes sweet, like the juice of the sugar cane. ||3||

152 : 78
By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, the castle of the body has ten gates.

152 : 79
The five passions dwell there, together with the Divine Light of the Infinite.

152 : 80
The Lord Himself is the merchandise, and He Himself is the trader.

152 : 81
O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, we are adorned and rejuvenated. ||4||5||

152 : 82
Gauree, First Mehl:

152 : 83
How can we know where we came from?

152 : 84
Where did we originate, and where will we go and merge?

152 : 85
How are we bound, and how do we obtain liberation?

152 : 86
How do we merge with intuitive ease into the Eternal, Imperishable Lord? ||1||

152 : 87
With the Naam in the heart and the Ambrosial Naam on our lips,

152 : 88
through the Name of the Lord, we rise above desire, like the Lord. ||1||Pause||

152 : 89
With intuitive ease we come, and with intuitive ease we depart.

152 : 90
From the mind we originate, and into the mind we are absorbed.

152 : 91
As Gurmukh, we are liberated, and are not bound.

152 : 92
Contemplating the Word of the Shabad, we are emancipated through the Name of the Lord. ||2||

152 : 93
At night, lots of birds settle on the tree.

152 : 94
Some are happy, and some are sad. Caught in the desires of the mind, they perish.

152 : 95
And when the life-night comes to its end, then they look to the sky.

152 : 96
They fly away in all ten directions, according to their pre-ordained destiny. ||3||
