ò ó ô 212 GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: One who forgets the Lord’s Name, suffers in pain. Those who join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and dwell upon the Lord, find the Ocean of virtue. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Those Gurmukhs whose hearts are filled with wisdom, hold the nine treasures, and the miraculous spiritual powers of the Siddhas in the palms of their hands. ॥1॥ Those who know the Lord God as their Master, do not lack anything. ॥2॥ Those who realize the Creator Lord, enjoy all peace and pleasure. ॥3॥ Those whose inner homes are filled with the Lord’s wealth — says Nanak, in their company, pain departs. ॥4॥9॥147॥ GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: Your pride is so great, but what about your origins? You cannot remain, no matter how much you try to hold on. ॥1॥ Pause॥ That which is forbidden by the Vedas and the Saints — with that, you are in love. Like the gambler losing the game of chance, you are held in the power of sensory desires. ॥1॥ The One who is All-powerful to empty out and fill up — you have no love for His Lotus Feet. O Nanak, I have been saved, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. I have been blessed by the Treasure of Mercy. ॥2॥10॥148॥ GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: I am the slave of my Lord and Master. I eat whatever God gives me. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Such is my Lord and Master. In an instant, He creates and embellishes. ॥1॥ I do that work which pleases my Lord and Master. I sing the songs of God’s glory, and His wondrous play. ॥2॥ I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord’s Prime Minister; beholding Him, my mind is comforted and consoled. ॥3॥ The One Lord is my support, the One is my steady anchor. Servant Nanak is engaged in the Lord’s work. ॥4॥11॥149॥ GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: Is there anyone, who can shatter his ego, and turn his mind away from this sweet Maya? ॥1॥ Pause॥ Humanity is in spiritual ignorance; people see things that do not exist. The night is dark and gloomy; how will the morning dawn? ॥1॥ Wandering, wandering all around, I have grown weary; trying all sorts of things, I have been searching. Says Nanak, He has shown mercy to me; I have found the treasure of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ॥2॥12॥150॥ GAUREE, FIFTH MEHL: He is the Wish-fulfilling Jewel, the Embodiment of Mercy. ॥1॥ Pause॥ The Supreme Lord God is Merciful to the meek; meditating in remembrance on Him, peace is obtained. ॥1॥ The Wisdom of the Undying Primal Being is beyond comprehension. Hearing His Praises, millions of sins are erased. ॥2॥ O God, Treasure of Mercy, please bless Nanak with Your kindness, that he may repeat the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ॥3॥13॥151॥ GAUREE POORBEE, FIFTH MEHL: O my mind, in the Sanctuary of God, peace is found. That day, when the Giver of life and peace is forgotten — that day passes uselessly. ॥1॥ Pause॥ You have come as a guest for one short night, and yet you hope to live for many ages. Households, mansions and wealth — whatever is seen, is like the shade of a tree. ॥1॥ My body, wealth, and all my gardens and property shall all pass away. You have forgotten your Lord and Master, the Great Giver. In an instant, these shall belong to somebody else. ॥2॥
