206 : 2618
Trying all sorts of things, I have grown weary, but still, they will not leave me alone.

206 : 2619
But I have heard that they can be rooted out, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; and so I seek their Shelter. ||2||

206 : 2620
In their Mercy, the Saints have met me, and from them, I have obtained satisfaction.

206 : 2621
The Saints have given me the Mantra of the Fearless Lord, and now I practice the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||3||

206 : 2622
I have now conquered those terrible evil-doers, and my speech is now sweet and sublime.

206 : 2623
Says Nanak, the Divine Light has dawned within my mind; I have obtained the state of Nirvaanaa. ||4||4||125||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

206 : 2625
He is the Eternal King.

206 : 2626
The Fearless Lord abides with you. So where does this fear come from? ||1||Pause||

206 : 2627
In one person, You are arrogant and proud, and in another, You are meek and humble.

206 : 2628
In one person, You are all by Yourself, and in another, You are poor. ||1||

206 : 2629
In one person, you are a Pandit, a religious scholar and a preacher, and in another, You are just a fool.

206 : 2630
In one person, You grab hold of everything, and in another, You accept nothing. ||2||

206 : 2631
What can the poor wooden puppet do? The Master Puppeteer knows everything.

206 : 2632
As the Puppeteer dresses the puppet, so is the role the puppet plays. ||3||

206 : 2633
The Lord has created the various chambers of assorted descriptions, and He Himself protects them.

206 : 2634
As is that vessel in which the Lord places the soul, so does it dwell. What can this poor being do? ||4||

206 : 2635
The One who created the thing, understands it; He has fashioned all of this.

206 : 2636
Says Nanak, the Lord and Master is Infinite; He alone understands the value of His Creation. ||5||5||126||

206 : 2637
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

206 : 2638
Give them up - give up the pleasures of corruption;

206 : 2639
you are entangled in them, you crazy fool, like an animal grazing in the green fields. ||1||Pause||

206 : 2640
That which you believe to be of use to you, shall not go even an inch with you.

206 : 2641
Naked you came, and naked you shall depart. You shall go round and round the cycle of birth and death, and you shall be food for Death. ||1||

206 : 2642
Watching, watching the transitory dramas of the world, you are embroiled and enmeshed in them, and you laugh with delight.

206 : 2643
The string of life is wearing thin, day and night, and you have done nothing for your soul. ||2||

206 : 2644
Doing your deeds, you have grown old; your voice fails you, and your body has become weak.

206 : 2645
You were enticed by Maya in your youth, and your attachment for it has not diminished, one little bit. ||3||

206 : 2646
The Guru has shown me that this is the way of the world; I have abandoned the dwelling of pride, and entered Your Sanctuary.

206 : 2647
The Saint has shown me the Path of God; slave Nanak has implanted devotional worship and the Praise of the Lord. ||4||6||127||

206 : 2648
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

206 : 2649
Except for You, who is mine?

206 : 2650
O my Beloved, You are the Support of the breath of life. ||1||Pause||

206 : 2651
You alone know the condition of my inner being. You are my Beautiful Friend.

206 : 2652
I receive all comforts from You, O my Unfathomable and Immeasurable Lord and Master. ||1||
