Raag Gauree - Part 001

151 : 1
Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, First Mehl, Chau-Padas & Du-Padas:

151 : 2
One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

151 : 3
The Fear of God is overpowering, and so very heavy,

151 : 4
while the intellect is lightweight, as is the speech one speaks.

151 : 5
So place the Fear of God upon your head, and bear that weight;

151 : 6
by the Grace of the Merciful Lord, contemplate the Guru. ||1||

151 : 7
Without the Fear of God, no one crosses over the world-ocean.

151 : 8
This Fear of God adorns the Love of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

151 : 9
The fire of fear within the body is burnt away by the Fear of God.

151 : 10
Through this Fear of God, we are adorned with the Word of the Shabad.

151 : 11
Without the Fear of God, all that is fashioned is false.

151 : 12
Useless is the mold, and useless are the hammer-strokes on the mold. ||2||

151 : 13
The desire for the worldly drama arises in the intellect,

151 : 14
but even with thousands of clever mental tricks, the heat of the Fear of God does not come into play.

151 : 15
O Nanak, the speech of the self-willed manmukh is just wind.

151 : 16
His words are worthless and empty, like the wind. ||3||1||

151 : 17
Gauree, First Mehl:

151 : 18
Place the Fear of God within the home of your heart; with this Fear of God in your heart, all other fears shall be frightened away.

151 : 19
What sort of fear is that, which frightens other fears?

151 : 20
Without You, I have other place of rest at all.

Continued...

151 : 21
Whatever happens is all according to Your Will. ||1||

151 : 22
Be afraid, if you have any fear, other than the Fear of God.

151 : 23
Afraid of fear, and living in fear, the mind is held in tumult. ||1||Pause||

151 : 24
The soul does not die; it does not drown, and it does not swim across.

151 : 25
The One who created everything does everything.

151 : 26
By the Hukam of His Command we come, and by the Hukam of His Command we go.

151 : 27
Before and after, His Command is pervading. ||2||

151 : 28
Cruelty, attachment, desire and egotism

151 : 29
- there is great hunger in these, like the raging torrent of a wild stream.

151 : 30
Let the Fear of God be your food, drink and support.

151 : 31
Without doing this, the fools simply die. ||3||

151 : 32
If anyone really has anyone else - how rare is that person!

151 : 33
All are Yours - You are the Lord of all.

151 : 34
All beings and creatures, wealth and property belong to Him.

151 : 35
O Nanak, it is so difficult to describe and contemplate Him. ||4||2||

151 : 36
Gauree, First Mehl:

151 : 37
Let wisdom be your mother, and contentment your father.

151 : 38
Let Truth be your brother - these are your best relatives. ||1||

151 : 39
He has been described, but He cannot be described at all.

151 : 40
Your All-pervading creative nature cannot be estimated. ||1||Pause||
