213 : 2900
You wear white clothes and take cleansing baths, and anoint yourself with sandalwood oil.

213 : 2901
But you do not remember the Fearless, Formless Lord - you are like an elephant bathing in the mud. ||3||

213 : 2902
When God becomes merciful, He leads you to meet the True Guru; all peace is in the Name of the Lord.

213 : 2903
The Guru has liberated me from bondage; servant Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||14||152||

213 : 2904
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

213 : 2905
O my mind, dwell always upon the Guru, Guru, Guru.

213 : 2906
The Guru has made the jewel of this human life prosperous and fruitful. I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. ||1||Pause||

213 : 2907
As many breaths and morsels as you take, O my mind - so many times, sing His Glorious Praises.

213 : 2908
When the True Guru becomes merciful, then this wisdom and understanding is obtained. ||1||

213 : 2909
O my mind, taking the Naam, you shall be released from the bondage of death, and the peace of all peace will be found.

213 : 2910
Serving your Lord and Master, the True Guru, the Great Giver, you shall obtain the fruits of your mind's desires. ||2||

213 : 2911
The Name of the Creator is your beloved friend and child; it alone shall go along with you, O my mind.

213 : 2912
So serve your True Guru, and you shall receive the Name from the Guru. ||3||

213 : 2913
When God, the Merciful Guru, showered His Mercy upon me, all my anxieties were dispelled.

213 : 2914
Nanak has found the peace of the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. All his sorrows have been dispelled. ||4||15||153||

Raag Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

213 : 2916
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

213 : 2917
The thirst of only a few is quenched. ||1||Pause||

213 : 2918
People may accumulate hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, and yet the mind is not restrained.

213 : 2919
They only yearn for more and more. ||1||

213 : 2920
They may have all sorts of beautiful women, but still, they commit adultery in the homes of others.

213 : 2921
They do not distinguish between good and bad. ||2||

213 : 2922
They wander around lost, trapped in the myriad bonds of Maya; they do not sing the Praises of the Treasure of Virtue.

213 : 2923
Their minds are engrossed in poison and corruption. ||3||

213 : 2924
Those, unto whom the Lord shows His Mercy, remain dead while yet alive. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, they cross over the ocean of Maya.

213 : 2925
O Nanak, those humble beings are honored in the Court of the Lord. ||4||1||154||

213 : 2926
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

213 : 2927
The Lord is the essence of all. ||1||Pause||

213 : 2928
Some practice Yoga, some indulge in pleasures; some live in spiritual wisdom, some live in meditation.

213 : 2929
Some are bearers of the staff. ||1||

213 : 2930
Some chant in meditation, some practice deep, austere meditation; some worship Him in adoration, some practice daily rituals.

213 : 2931
Some live the life of a wanderer. ||2||

213 : 2932
Some live by the shore, some live on the water; some study the Vedas.

213 : 2933
Nanak loves to worship the Lord. ||3||2||155||

213 : 2934
Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

213 : 2935
To sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is my treasure. ||1||Pause||

213 : 2936
You are my delight, You are my praise. You are my beauty, You are my love.

213 : 2937
O God, You are my hope and support. ||1||

213 : 2938
You are my pride, You are my wealth. You are my honor, You are my breath of life.

213 : 2939
The Guru has repaired that which was broken. ||2||

213 : 2940
You are in the household, and You are in the forest. You are in the village, and You are in the wilderness.
