229 : 3652
Gauree, First Mehl:

229 : 3653
By Guru's Grace, one comes to understand, and then, the account is settled.

229 : 3654
In each and every heart is the Name of the Immaculate Lord; He is my Lord and Master. ||1||

229 : 3655
Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, no one is emancipated. See this, and reflect upon it.

229 : 3656
Even though you may perform hundreds of thousands of rituals, without the Guru, there is only darkness. ||1||Pause||

229 : 3657
What can you say, to one who is blind and without wisdom?

229 : 3658
Without the Guru, the Path cannot be seen. How can anyone proceed? ||2||

229 : 3659
He calls the counterfeit genuine, and does not know the value of the genuine.

229 : 3660
The blind man is known as an appraiser; this Dark Age of Kali Yuga is so strange! ||3||

229 : 3661
The sleeper is said to be awake, and those who are awake are like sleepers.

229 : 3662
The living are said to be dead, and no one mourns for those who have died. ||4||

229 : 3663
One who is coming is said to be going, and one who is gone is said to have come.

229 : 3664
That which belongs to others, he calls his own, but he has no liking for that which is his. ||5||

229 : 3665
That which is sweet is said to be bitter, and the bitter is said to be sweet.

229 : 3666
One who is imbued with the Lord's Love is slandered - his is what I have seen in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||6||

229 : 3667
He serves the maid, and does not see his Lord and Master.

229 : 3668
Churning the water in the pond, no butter is produced. ||7||

229 : 3669
One who understands the meaning of this verse is my Guru.

229 : 3670
O Nanak, one who knows his own self, is infinite and incomparable. ||8||

229 : 3671
He Himself is All-pervading; He Himself misleads the people.

229 : 3672
By Guru's Grace, one comes to understand, that God is contained in all. ||9||2||18||

229 : 3673
Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees:

229 : 3674
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

229 : 3675
The pollution of the mind is the love of duality.

229 : 3676
Deluded by doubt, people come and go in reincarnation. ||1||

229 : 3677
The pollution of the self-willed manmukhs will never go away,

229 : 3678
as long as they do not dwell on the Shabad, and the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

229 : 3679
All the created beings are contaminated by emotional attachment;

229 : 3680
they die and are reborn, only to die over and over again. ||2||

229 : 3681
Fire, air and water are polluted.

229 : 3682
The food which is eaten is polluted. ||3||

229 : 3683
The actions of those who do not worship the Lord are polluted.

229 : 3684
Attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind becomes immaculate. ||4||

229 : 3685
Serving the True Guru, pollution is eradicated,

229 : 3686
and then, one does not suffer death and rebirth, or get devoured by death. ||5||

229 : 3687
You may study and examine the Shaastras and the Simritees,

229 : 3688
but without the Name, no one is liberated. ||6||

229 : 3689
Throughout the four ages, the Naam is the ultimate; reflect upon the Word of the Shabad.

229 : 3690
In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, only the Gurmukhs cross over. ||7||

229 : 3691
The True Lord does not die; He does not come or go.

229 : 3692
O Nanak, the Gurmukh remains absorbed in the Lord. ||8||1||

229 : 3693
Gauree, Third Mehl:

229 : 3694
Selfless service is the support of the breath of life of the Gurmukh.

229 : 3695
Keep the Dear Lord enshrined in your heart.

229 : 3696
The Gurmukh is honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||1||

229 : 3697
O Pandit, O religious scholar, read about the Lord, and renounce your corrupt ways.

229 : 3698
The Gurmukh crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||
