I have found the Perfect Guru, through great good fortune; He has given me the Mantra of the Lord's Name, and my mind has become quiet and tranquil. ||1||

171 : 878
O Lord, I am the slave of the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

171 : 879
My forehead has been branded with His brand; I owe such a great debt to the Guru.

171 : 880
He has been so generous and kind to me; He has carried me across the treacherous and terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

171 : 881
Those who do not have love for the Lord within their hearts, harbor only false intentions and goals.

171 : 882
As paper breaks down and dissolves in water, the self-willed manmukh wastes away in arrogant pride. ||3||

171 : 883
I know nothing, and I do not know the future; as the Lord keeps me, so do I stand.

171 : 884
For my failings and mistakes, O Guru, grant me Your Grace; servant Nanak is Your obedient dog. ||4||7||21||59||

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

171 : 886
The body-village is filled to overflowing with sexual desire and anger, which were broken into bits when I met with the Holy Saint.

171 : 887
By pre-ordained destiny, I have met with the Guru. I have entered into the realm of the Lord's Love. ||1||

171 : 888
Greet the Holy Saint with your palms pressed together; this is an act of great merit.

171 : 889
Bow down before Him; this is a virtuous action indeed. ||1||Pause||

171 : 890
The wicked shaaktas, the faithless cynics, do not know the taste of the Lord's sublime essence. The thorn of egotism is embedded deep within them.

171 : 891
The more they walk away, the deeper it sticks into them, and the more they suffer in pain, until finally, the Messenger of Death smashes his club against their heads. ||2||

171 : 892
The humble servants of the Lord are absorbed in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. The pain of birth and the fear of death are eradicated.

171 : 893
They have obtained the Imperishable Supreme Being, the Transcendent Lord God, and they obtain great honor throughout all the worlds and realms. ||3||

I am poor and meek, God, but I am Yours! Save me, please save me, O Greatest of the Great!

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

171 : 897
Within this body-fortress is the Lord, the Sovereign Lord King, but the stubborn ones do not find the taste.

171 : 898
When the Lord, Merciful to the meek, showed His Mercy, I found and tasted it, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

171 : 899
Lovingly focused upon the Guru, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praise has become sweet to me. ||1||Pause||

171 : 900
The Lord, the Supreme Lord God, is Inaccessible and Unfathomable. Those who are committed to the True Guru, the Divine Intermediary, meet the Lord.

171 : 901
Those whose hearts are pleased with the Guru's Teachings - the Lord's Presence is revealed to them. ||2||

171 : 902
The hearts of the self-willed manmukhs are hard and cruel; their inner beings are dark.

171 : 903
Even if the poisonous snake is fed large amounts of milk, it will still yield only poison. ||3||

171 : 904
O Lord God, please unite me with the Holy Guru, so that I might joyfully grind and eat the Shabad.

171 : 905
Servant Nanak is the slave of the Guru; in the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, the bitter becomes sweet. ||4||9||23||61||

171 : 906
Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:

171 : 907
For the sake of the Lord, Har, Har, I have sold my body to the Perfect Guru.

171 : 908
The True Guru, the Giver, has implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me. A very blessed and fortunate destiny is recorded upon my forehead. ||1||

171 : 909
Through the Guru's Teachings, I am lovingly centered on the Lord. ||1||Pause||
