Nanak: You are near, so very near! ||3||3||156||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

214 : 2943
I am intoxicated, intoxicated with the Love of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

214 : 2944
I drink it in - I am drunk with it. The Guru has given it to me in charity.

214 : 2945
My mind is drenched with it. ||1||

214 : 2946
It is my furnace, it is the cooling plaster. It is my love, it is my longing.

214 : 2947
My mind knows it as peace. ||2||

214 : 2948
I enjoy intuitive peace, and I play in bliss; the cycle of reincarnation is ended for me, and I am merged with the Lord.

214 : 2949
Nanak is pierced through with the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||3||4||157||

Raag Gauree Maalwaa, Fifth Mehl:

214 : 2951
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

214 : 2952
Chant the Lord's Name; O my friend, chant it. Hereafter, the path is terrifying and treacherous. ||1||Pause||

214 : 2953
Serve, serve, forever serve the Lord. Death hangs over your head.

214 : 2954
Do seva, selfless service, for the Holy Saints, and the noose of Death shall be cut away. ||1||

214 : 2955
You may make burnt offerings, sacrificial feasts and pilgrimages to sacred shrines in egotism, but your corruption only increases.

214 : 2956
You are subject to both heaven and hell, and you are reincarnated over and over again. ||2||

214 : 2957
The realm of Shiva, the realms of Brahma and Indra as well - no place anywhere is permanent.

214 : 2958
Without serving the Lord, there is no peace at all. The faithless cynic comes and goes in reincarnation. ||3||

214 : 2959
As the Guru has taught me, so have I spoken.

214 : 2960
Says Nanak, listen, people: sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, and you shall be saved. ||4||1||158||

214 : 2961
Raag Gauree Maalaa, Fifth Mehl:

214 : 2962
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

214 : 2963
Adopting the innocent mind of a child, I have found peace.

214 : 2964
Joy and sorrow, profit and loss, birth and death, pain and pleasure - they are all the same to my consciousness, since I met the Guru. ||1||Pause||

214 : 2965
As long as I plotted and planned things, I was full of frustration.

214 : 2966
When I met the Kind, Perfect Guru, then I obtained bliss so easily. ||1||

214 : 2967
The more clever tricks I tried, the more bonds I was saddled with.

214 : 2968
When the Holy Saint placed His Hand upon my forehead, then I was liberated. ||2||

214 : 2969
As long as I claimed, "Mine, mine!", I was surrounded by wickedness and corruption.

214 : 2970
But when I dedicated my mind, body and intellect to my Lord and Master, then I began to sleep in peace. ||3||

214 : 2971
As long as I walked along, carrying the load, I continued to pay the fine.

214 : 2972
But I threw away that bundle, when I met the Perfect Guru; O Nanak, then I became fearless. ||4||1||159||

214 : 2973
Gauree Maalaa, Fifth Mehl:

214 : 2974
I have renounced my desires; I have renounced them.

214 : 2975
I have renounced them; meeting the Guru, I have renounced them.

214 : 2976
All peace, joy, happiness and pleasures have come since I surrendered to the Will of the Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||
