The Lord of the World is fascinated with this melody. ॥2॥ The numerous, countless places of celestial peace — there, the Saints dwell, in the Company of the Supreme Lord God. ॥3॥ There is infinite joy, and no sorrow or duality. The Guru has blessed Nanak with this home. ॥4॥35॥104॥ GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: What form of Yours should I worship and adore? What Yoga should I practice to control my body? ॥1॥
