This mind listens to the Vedas, the Puraanas, and the ways of the Holy Saints, but it does not sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, for even an instant. ||1||Pause||

220 : 3176
Having obtained this human body, so very difficult to obtain, it is now being uselessly wasted.

220 : 3177
Emotional attachment to Maya is such a treacherous wilderness, and yet, people are in love with it. ||1||

220 : 3178

Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

220 : 3181
Holy Saadhus: rest and peace are in the Sanctuary of the Lord.

220 : 3182
This is the blessing of studying the Vedas and the Puraanas, that you may meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

220 : 3183
Greed, emotional attachment to Maya, possessiveness, the service of evil, pleasure and pain - those who are not touched by these, are the very embodiment of the Divine Lord. ||1||

220 : 3184
Heaven and hell, ambrosial nectar and poison, gold and copper - these are all alike to them.

220 : 3185
Praise and slander are all the same to them, as are greed and attachment. ||2||

220 : 3186
They are not bound by pleasure and pain - know that they are truly wise.

220 : 3188
Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

220 : 3192
- none of these is yours to keep. See this, reflect upon it and understand. ||1||

220 : 3193
You have wasted the precious jewel of this human life; you do not know the Way of the Lord of the Universe.

220 : 3194
You have not been absorbed in the Lord's Feet, even for an instant. Your life has passed away in vain! ||2||

220 : 3195
Says Nanak, that man is happy, who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name.

220 : 3196
All the rest of the world is enticed by Maya; they do not obtain the state of fearless dignity. ||3||8||

220 : 3197
Gauree, Ninth Mehl:

220 : 3198
You people are unconscious; you should be afraid of sin.

220 : 3199
Seek the Sanctuary of the Lord, Merciful to the meek, Destroyer of all fear. ||1||Pause||

220 : 3200
The Vedas and the Puraanas sing His Praises; enshrine His Name within your heart.

220 : 3201
Pure and sublime is the Name of the Lord in the world. Remembering it in meditation, all sinful mistakes shall be washed away. ||1||

220 : 3202
You shall not obtain this human body again; make the effort - try to achieve liberation!

220 : 3203
Says Nanak, sing of the Lord of compassion, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||9||251||

Raag Gauree, Ashtapadees, First Mehl: Gauree Gwaarayree:

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. By Guru's Grace:

The nine treasures and the miraculous spiritual powers come by contemplating the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord.
