They alone are handsome, clever and wise,
198
:
2246
who surrender to the Will of God. ||2||
198
:
2247
Blessed is their coming into this world,
198
:
2248
if they recognize their Lord and Master in each and every heart. ||3||
198
:
2249
Says Nanak, their good fortune is perfect,

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
198

2252
The Lord's servant does not associate with the faithless cynic.
198
:
2253
One is in the clutches of vice, while the other is in love with the Lord. ||1||Pause||
198
:
2254
It would be like an imaginary rider on a decorated horse,
198
:
2255
or a eunuch caressing a woman. ||1||
198
:
2256
It would be like tying up an ox and trying to milk it,
198
:
2257
or riding a cow to chase a tiger. ||2||
198
:
2258
It would be like taking a sheep and worshipping it as the Elysian cow,
198
:
2259
the giver of all blessings; it would be like going out shopping without any money. ||3||
198
:
2260
O Nanak, consciously meditate on the Lord's Name.

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord Master, your Best Friend. ||4||91||160||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
198

2263
Pure and steady is that intellect,
198
:
2264
which drinks in the Lord's sublime essence. ||1||
198
:
2265
Keep the Support of the Lord's Feet in your heart,
198
:
2266
and you shall be saved from the cycle of birth and death. ||1||Pause||
198
:
2267
Pure is that body, in which sin does not arise.
198
:
2268
In the Love of the Lord is pure glory. ||2||
198
:
2269
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, corruption is eradicated.
198
:
2270
This is the greatest blessing of all. ||3||
198
:
2271
Imbued with loving devotional worship of the Sustainer of the Universe,
198

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
198
:
2274
Such is my love for the Lord of the Universe;
198
:
2275
through perfect good destiny, I have been united with Him. ||1||Pause||
198
:
2276
As the wife is delighted upon beholding her husband,
198
:
2277
so does the Lord's humble servant live by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
198
:
2278
As the mother is rejuvenated upon seeing her son,
198
:
2279
so is the Lord's humble servant imbued with Him, through and through. ||2||
198
:
2280
As the greedy man rejoices upon beholding his wealth,
198
:
2281
so is the mind of the Lord's humble servant attached to His Lotus Feet. ||3||
198
:
2282
May I never forget You, for even an instant, O Great Giver!
198
:
2283
Nanak's God is the Support of his breath of life. ||4||93||162||
198

2284
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
198
:
2285
Those humble beings who are accustomed to the Lord's sublime essence,
198
:
2286
are pierced through with loving devotional worship of the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||1||Pause||
198
:
2287
All other pleasures look like ashes;
198
:
2288
without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is fruitless. ||1||
198
:
2289
He Himself rescues us from the deep dark well.

2291
In the woods and meadows, and throughout the three worlds, the Sustainer of the Universe is pervading.
198

2292
The Expansive Lord God is Merciful to all beings. ||3||
198
:
2293
Says Nanak, that speech alone is excellent,
198
:
2294
which is approved by the Creator Lord. ||4||94||163||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Every day, take your bath in the Sacred Pool of the Lord.
198
:
2297
Mix and drink in the most delicious, sublime Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
198
:
2298
The water of the Name of the Lord of the Universe is immaculate and pure.
198
:
2299
Take your cleansing bath in it, and all your affairs shall be resolved. ||1||
