156 : 246
Meditate on the Immaculate Lord, and saturate your mind with Him.

156 : 247
Why, O Yogi, do you make so many false and deceptive claims? ||1||Pause||

156 : 250
Gauree Chaytee, First Mehl:

156 : 251
O mind, there is only the One medicine, mantra and healing herb - center your consciousness firmly on the One Lord.

156 : 252
Take to the Lord, the Destroyer of the sins and karma of past incarnations. ||1||

156 : 253
The One Lord and Master is pleasing to my mind.

156 : 254
In Your three qualities, the world is engrossed; the Unknowable cannot be known. ||1||Pause||

156 : 255
Maya is so sweet to the body, like sugar or molasses. We all carry loads of it.

156 : 256
In the dark of the night, nothing can be seen. The mouse of death is gnawing away at the rope of life, O Siblings of Destiny! ||2||

156 : 257
As the self-willed manmukhs act, they suffer in pain. The Gurmukh obtains honor and greatness.

156 : 258
Whatever He does, that alone happens; past actions cannot be erased. ||3||

156 : 259
Those who are imbued with, and committed to the Lord's Love, are filled to overflowing; they never lack anything.

156 : 260
If Nanak could be the dust of their feet, then he, the ignorant one, might also obtain some. ||4||4||16||

156 : 261
Gauree Chaytee, First Mehl:

156 : 262
Who is our mother, and who is our father? Where did we come from?

156 : 263
We are formed from the fire of the womb within, and the bubble of water of the sperm. For what purpose are we created? ||1||

156 : 264
O my Master, who can know Your Glorious Virtues?

Continued...

156 : 265
My own demerits cannot be counted. ||1||Pause||

156 : 266
I took the form of so many plants and trees, and so many animals.

156 : 267
Many times I entered the families of snakes and flying birds. ||2||

156 : 268
I broke into the shops of the city and well-guarded palaces; stealing from them, I snuck home again.

156 : 269
I looked in front of me, and I looked behind me, but where could I hide from You? ||3||

156 : 270
I saw the banks of sacred rivers, the nine continents, the shops and bazaars of the cities.

156 : 271
Taking the scale, the merchant begins to weigh his actions within his own heart. ||4||

156 : 272
As the seas and the oceans are overflowing with water, so vast are my own sins.

156 : 273
Please, shower me with Your Mercy, and take pity upon me. I am a sinking stone - please carry me across! ||5||

156 : 274
My soul is burning like fire, and the knife is cutting deep.

156 : 275
Prays Nanak, recognizing the Lord's Command, I am at peace, day and night. ||6||5||17||

156 : 276
Gauree Bairaagan, First Mehl:

156 : 277
The nights are wasted sleeping, and the days are wasted eating.

156 : 278
Human life is such a precious jewel, but it is being lost in exchange for a mere shell. ||1||

156 : 279
You do not know the Name of the Lord.

156 : 280
You fool - you shall regret and repent in the end! ||1||Pause||

156 : 281
You bury your temporary wealth in the ground, but how can you love that which is temporary?

156 : 282
Those who have departed, after craving for temporary wealth, have returned home without this temporary wealth. ||2||

156 : 283
If people could gather it in by their own efforts, then everyone would be so lucky.
