188 : 1703
Nanak: my honor and glory are Yours, God. ||4||40||109||

188 : 1704
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1705
Those who have You on their side, O All-powerful Lord

188 : 1706
- no black stain can stick to them. ||1||

188 : 1707
O Lord of wealth, those who place their hopes in You

188 : 1708
- nothing of the world can touch them at all. ||1||Pause||

188 : 1709
Those whose hearts are filled with their Lord and Master

188 : 1710
- no anxiety can affect them. ||2||

188 : 1711
Those, unto whom You give Your consolation, God

188 : 1712
- pain does not even approach them. ||3||

188 : 1713
Says Nanak, I have found that Guru,

188 : 1714
who has shown me the Perfect, Supreme Lord God. ||4||41||110||

188 : 1715
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1716
This human body is so difficult to obtain; it is only obtained by great good fortune.

188 : 1717
Those who do not meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are murderers of the soul. ||1||

188 : 1718
Those who forget the Lord might just as well die.

188 : 1719
Without the Naam, of what use are their lives? ||1||Pause||

188 : 1720
Eating, drinking, playing, laughing and showing off

188 : 1721
- what use are the ostentatious displays of the dead? ||2||

188 : 1722
Those who do not listen to the Praises of the Lord of supreme bliss,

188 : 1723
are worse off than beasts, birds or creeping creatures. ||3||

188 : 1724
Says Nanak, the GurMantra has been implanted within me;

188 : 1725
the Name alone is contained within my heart. ||4||42||111||

188 : 1726
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1727
Whose mother is this? Whose father is this?

188 : 1728
They are relatives in name only- they are all false. ||1||

188 : 1729
Why are you screaming and shouting, you fool?

188 : 1730
By good destiny and the Lord's Order, you have come into the world. ||1||Pause||

188 : 1731
There is the one dust, the one light,

188 : 1732
the one praanic wind. Why are you crying? For whom do you cry? ||2||

188 : 1733
People weep and cry out, "Mine, mine!"

188 : 1734
This soul is not perishable. ||3||

188 : 1735
Says Nanak, the Guru has opened my shutters;

188 : 1736
I am liberated, and my doubts have been dispelled. ||4||43||112||

188 : 1737
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1738
Those who seem to be great and powerful,

188 : 1739
are afflicted by the disease of anxiety. ||1||

188 : 1740
Who is great by the greatness of Maya?

188 : 1741
They alone are great, who are lovingly attached to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

188 : 1742
The landlord fights over his land each day.

188 : 1743
He shall have to leave it in the end, and yet his desire is still not satisfied. ||2||

188 : 1744
Says Nanak, this is the essence of Truth:

188 : 1745
without the Lord's meditation, there is no salvation. ||3||44||113||

188 : 1746
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1747
Perfect is the path; perfect is the cleansing bath.

188 : 1748
Everything is perfect, if the Naam is in the heart. ||1||

188 : 1749
One's honor remains perfect, when the Perfect Lord preserves it.

188 : 1750
His servant takes to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||1||Pause||

188 : 1751
Perfect is the peace; perfect is the contentment.

188 : 1752
Perfect is the penance; perfect is the Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. ||2||

188 : 1753
On the Lord's Path, sinners are purified.

188 : 1754
Perfect is their glory; perfect is their humanity. ||3||

188 : 1755
They dwell forever in the Presence of the Creator Lord.

188 : 1756
Says Nanak, my True Guru is Perfect. ||4||45||114||

188 : 1757
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

188 : 1758
Millions of sins are wiped away by the dust of the feet of the Saints.
