180 : 1268
The mortal claims this body as his own.

180 : 1269
Again and again, he clings to it.

180 : 1270
He is entangled with his children, his wife and household affairs.

180 : 1271
He cannot be the slave of the Lord. ||1||

180 : 1272
What is that way, by which the Lord's Praises might be sung?

180 : 1273
What is that intellect, by which this person might swim across, O mother? ||1||Pause||

180 : 1274
That which is for his own good, he thinks is evil.

180 : 1275
If someone tells him the truth, he looks upon that as poison.

180 : 1276
He cannot tell victory from defeat.

180 : 1277
This is the way of life in the world of the faithless cynic. ||2||

180 : 1278
The demented fool drinks in the deadly poison,

180 : 1279
while he believes the Ambrosial Naam to be bitter.

180 : 1280
He does not even approach the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;

180 : 1281
he wanders lost through 8.4 million incarnations. ||3||

180 : 1282
The birds are caught in the net of Maya;

180 : 1283
immersed in the pleasures of love, they frolic in so many ways.

180 : 1284
Says Nanak, the Perfect Guru has cut away the noose from those, unto whom the Lord has shown His Mercy. ||4||13||82||

180 : 1285
Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

180 : 1286
By Your Grace, we find the Way.

180 : 1287
By God's Grace, we meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

180 : 1288
By God's Grace, we are released from our bondage.

180 : 1289
By Your Grace, egotism is eradicated. ||1||

180 : 1290
As You assign me, so I take to Your service.

180 : 1291
By myself, I cannot do anything at all, O Divine Lord. ||1||Pause||

180 : 1292
If it pleases You, then I sing the Word of Your Bani.

180 : 1293
If it pleases You, then I speak the Truth.

180 : 1294
If it pleases You, then the True Guru showers His Mercy upon me.

180 : 1295
All peace comes by Your Kindness, God. ||2||

180 : 1296
Whatever pleases You is a pure action of karma.

180 : 1297
Whatever pleases You is the true faith of Dharma.

180 : 1298
The treasure of all excellence is with You.

180 : 1299
Your servant prays to You, O Lord and Master. ||3||

180 : 1300
The mind and body become immaculate through the Lord's Love.

180 : 1301
All peace is found in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

180 : 1302
My mind remains attuned to Your Name;

180 : 1303
Nanak affirms this as his greatest pleasure. ||4||14||83||

180 : 1304
Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

180 : 1305
You may taste the other flavors,

180 : 1306
but your thirst shall not depart, even for an instant.

180 : 1307
But when you taste the sweet flavor the the Lord's sublime essence

180 : 1308
- upon tasting it, you shall be wonder-struck and amazed. ||1||

180 : 1309
O dear beloved tongue, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar.

180 : 1310
Imbued with this sublime essence, you shall be satisfied. ||1||Pause||

180 : 1311
O tongue, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

180 : 1312
Each and every moment, meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

180 : 1313
Do not listen to any other, and do not go anywhere else.

180 : 1314
By great good fortune, you shall find the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||

180 : 1315
Twenty-four hours a day, O tongue, dwell upon God, the Unfathomable, Supreme Lord and Master.

180 : 1316
Here and hereafter, you shall be happy forever.

180 : 1317
Chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, O tongue, you shall become priceless. ||3||

180 : 1318
All the vegetation will blossom forth for you, flowering in fruition;

180 : 1319
imbued with this sublime essence, you shall never leave it again.

180 : 1320
No other sweet and tasty flavors can compare to it.

180 : 1321
Says Nanak, the Guru has become my Support. ||4||15||84||

180 : 1322
Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

180 : 1323
The mind is the temple, and the body is the fence built around it.
