Raag Gauree - Part 004

154 : 154
Gauree, First Mehl:

154 : 155
Past actions cannot be erased.

154 : 156
What do we know of what will happen hereafter?

154 : 157
Whatever pleases Him shall come to pass.

154 : 158
There is no other Doer except Him. ||1||

154 : 159
I do not know about karma, or how great Your gifts are.

154 : 160
The karma of actions, the Dharma of righteousness, social class and status, are contained within Your Name. ||1||Pause||

154 : 161
You are So Great, O Giver, O Great Giver!

154 : 162
The treasure of Your devotional worship is never exhausted.

154 : 163
One who takes pride in himself shall never be right.

154 : 164
The soul and body are all at Your disposal. ||2||

154 : 165
You kill and rejuvenate. You forgive and merge us into Yourself.

154 : 166
As it pleases You, You inspire us to chant Your Name.

154 : 167
You are All-knowing, All-seeing and True, O my Supreme Lord.

154 : 168
Please, bless me with the Guru's Teachings; my faith is in You alone. ||3||

154 : 169
One whose mind is attuned to the Lord, has no pollution in his body.

154 : 170
Through the Guru's Word, the True Shabad is realized.

154 : 171
All Power is Yours, through the greatness of Your Name.

154 : 172
Nanak abides in the Sanctuary of Your devotees. ||4||10||

154 : 173
Gauree, First Mehl:

154 : 174
Those who speak the Unspoken, drink in the Nectar.

154 : 175
Other fears are forgotten, and they are absorbed into the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

154 : 176
Why should we fear, when fear is dispelled by the Fear of God?

154 : 177
Through the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect Guru, I recognize God. ||1||Pause||

154 : 178
Those whose hearts are filled with the Lord's essence are blessed and acclaimed, and intuitively absorbed into the Lord. ||2||

154 : 179
Those whom the Lord puts to sleep, evening and morning

154 : 180
- those self-willed manmukhs are bound and gagged by Death, here and hereafter. ||3||

Continued...

154 : 181
Those whose hearts are filled with the Lord, day and night, are perfect.

154 : 182
O Nanak, they merge into the Lord, and their doubts are cast away. ||4||11||

154 : 183
Gauree, First Mehl:

154 : 184
One who loves the three qualities is subject to birth and death.

154 : 185
The four Vedas speak only of the visible forms.

154 : 186
They describe and explain the three states of mind,

154 : 187
but the fourth state, union with the Lord, is known only through the True Guru. ||1||

154 : 188
Through devotional worship of the Lord, and service to the Guru, one swims across.

154 : 189
Then, one is not born again, and is not subject to death. ||1||Pause||

154 : 190
Everyone speaks of the four great blessings;

154 : 191
the Simritees, the Shaastras and the Pandits speak of them as well.

154 : 192
But without the Guru, they do not understand their true significance.

154 : 193
The treasure of liberation is obtained through devotional worship of the Lord. ||2||

154 : 194
Those, within whose hearts the Lord dwells,

154 : 195
become Gurmukh; they receive the blessings of devotional worship.

154 : 196
Through devotional worship of the Lord, liberation and bliss are obtained.

154 : 197
Through the Guru's Teachings, supreme ecstasy is obtained. ||3||

154 : 198
One who meets the Guru, beholds Him, and inspires others to behold Him as well.

154 : 199
In the midst of hope, the Guru teaches us to live above hope and desire.

154 : 200
He is the Master of the meek, the Giver of peace to all.

154 : 201
Nanak's mind is imbued with the Lotus Feet of the Lord. ||4||12||

154 : 202
Gauree Chaytee, First Mehl:

154 : 203
With your nectar-like body, you live in comfort, but this world is just a passing drama.

154 : 204
You practice greed, avarice and great falsehood, and you carry such a heavy burden.

154 : 205
O body, I have seen you blowing away like dust on the earth. ||1||

154 : 206
Listen - listen to my advice!

154 : 207
Only the good deeds which you have done shall remain with you, O my soul. This opportunity shall not come again! ||1||Pause||
