178 : 1156
Taste the ambrosial essence, the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

178 : 1157
Of what use are other efforts?

178 : 1158
Showing His Mercy, the Lord Himself protects our honor. ||2||

178 : 1159
What is the human? What power does he have?

178 : 1160
All the tumult of Maya is false.

178 : 1161
Our Lord and Master is the One who acts, and causes others to act.

178 : 1162
He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all hearts. ||3||

178 : 1163
Of all comforts, this is the true comfort.

178 : 1164
Keep the Guru's Teachings in your mind.

178 : 1165
Those who bear love for the Name of the Lord

178 : 1166
- says Nanak, they are blessed, and very fortunate. ||4||7||76||

Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

178 : 1168
Listening to the Lord's sermon, my pollution has been washed away.

178 : 1169
I have become totally pure, and I now walk in peace.

178 : 1170
By great good fortune, I found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;

178 : 1171
I have fallen in love with the Supreme Lord God. ||1||

178 : 1172
Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, His servant has been carried across.

178 : 1173
The Guru has lifted me up and carried me across the ocean of fire. ||1||Pause||

178 : 1174
Singing the Kirtan of His Praises, my mind has become peaceful;

178 : 1175
the sins of countless incarnations have been washed away.

178 : 1176
I have seen all the treasures within my own mind;

178 : 1177
why should I now go out searching for them? ||2||

178 : 1178
When God Himself becomes merciful,

178 : 1179
the work of His servant becomes perfect.

178 : 1180
He has cut away my bonds, and made me His slave.

178 : 1181
Remember, remember, remember Him in meditation; He is the treasure of excellence. ||3||

178 : 1182
He alone is in the mind; He alone is everywhere.

178 : 1183
The Perfect Lord is totally permeating and pervading everywhere.

178 : 1184
The Perfect Guru has dispelled all doubts.

Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

178 : 1187
Those who have died have been forgotten.

178 : 1188
Those who survive have fastened their belts.

178 : 1189
They are busily occupied in their affairs;

178 : 1190
they cling twice as hard to Maya. ||1||

178 : 1191
No one thinks of the time of death;

178 : 1192
people grasp to hold that which shall pass away. ||1||Pause||

178 : 1193
The fools - their bodies are bound down by desires.

178 : 1194
They are mired in sexual desire, anger and attachment;

178 : 1195
the Righteous Judge of Dharma stands over their heads.

178 : 1196
Believing it to be sweet, the fools eat poison. ||2||

178 : 1197
They say, "I shall tie up my enemy, and I shall cut him down. Who dares to set foot upon my land?

178 : 1198
I am learned, I am clever and wise."

178 : 1199
The ignorant ones do not recognize their Creator. ||3||

178 : 1200
The Lord Himself knows His Own state and condition.

178 : 1201
What can anyone say? How can anyone describe Him?

178 : 1202
Whatever He attaches us to - to that we are attached.

178 : 1203
Everyone begs for their own good. ||4||

178 : 1204
Everything is Yours; You are the Creator Lord.

178 : 1205
You have no end or limitation.

178 : 1206
Please give this gift to Your servant,

178 : 1207
that Nanak might never forget the Naam. ||5||9||78||

178 : 1208
Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:

178 : 1209
By all sorts of efforts, people do not find salvation.

178 : 1210
Through clever tricks, the weight is only piled on more and more.

178 : 1211
Serving the Lord with a pure heart,

178 : 1212
you shall be received with honor at God's Court. ||1||
