Raag Gujri

¹One 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:

²Raag Goojaree, First Mehl, Chau-Padhay, First House:

³I would make Your Name the sandalwood, and my mind the stone to rub it on;

⁴for saffron, I would offer good deeds; thus, I perform worship and adoration within my heart. ||1||

⁵Perform worship and adoration by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; without the Name, there is no worship and adoration. ||1||Pause||

⁶If one were to wash his heart inwardly, like the stone idol which is washed on the outside,

⁷his filth would be removed, his soul would be cleansed, and he would be liberated when he departs. ||2||

⁸Even beasts have value, as they eat grass and give milk.

⁹Without the Naam, the mortal's life is cursed, as are the actions he performs. ||3||

¹⁰The Lord is hear at hand - do not think that He is far away. He always cherishes us, and remembers us.

¹¹Whatever He gives us, we eat; says Nanak, He is the True Lord. ||4||1||

¹²Goojaree, First Mehl:

¹³From the lotus of Vishnu's navel, Brahma was born; He chanted the Vedas with a melodious voice.

¹⁴He could not find the Lord's limits, and he remained in the darkness of coming and going. ||1||

¹⁵Why should I forget my Beloved? He is the support of my very breath of life.

¹⁶The perfect beings perform devotional worship to Him. The silent sages serve Him through the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

¹⁷His lamps are the sun and the moon; the One Light of the Destroyer of ego fills the three worlds.

¹⁸One who becomes Gurmukh remains immaculately pure, day and night, while the self-willed manmukh is enveloped by the darkness of night. ||2||

¹⁹The Siddhas in Samaadhi are continually in conflict; what can they see with their two eyes?

²⁰One who has the Divine Light within his heart, and is awakened to the melody of the Word of the Shabad - the True Guru settles his conflicts. ||3||

²¹O Lord of angels and men, infinite and unborn, Your True Mansion is incomparable.

²²Nanak merges imperceptibly into the Life of the world; shower Your mercy upon him, and save him. ||4||2||

¹Raag Goojaree, Third Mehl, First House:

²One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

³Cursed is that life, in which the Lord's Love is not obtained.

⁴Cursed is that occupation, in which the Lord is forgotten, and one becomes attached to duality. ||1||

⁵Serve such a True Guru, O my mind, that by serving Him, God's Love may be produced, and all others may be forgotten.

⁶Your consciousness shall remain attached to the Lord; there shall be no fear of old age, and the supreme status shall be obtained. ||1||Pause||

⁷A divine peace wells up from God's Love; behold, it comes from devotional worship.

⁸When my identity consumed my identical identity, then my mind became immaculately pure, and my light was blended with the Divine Light. ||2||

⁹Without good fortune, such a True Guru cannot be found, no matter how much all may yearn for Him.

¹⁰If the veil of falsehood is removed from within, then lasting peace is obtained. ||3||

¹¹O Nanak, what service can the servant perform for such a True Guru? He should offer his life, his very soul, to the Guru.

¹²If he focuses his consciousness on the Will of the True Guru, then the True Guru Himself will bless him. ||4||1||3||

¹³Goojaree, Third Mehl:

¹⁴Serve the Lord; do not serve anyone else.

¹⁵Serving the Lord, you shall obtain the fruits of your heart's desires; serving another, your life shall pass away in vain. ||1||

¹⁶The Lord is my Love, the Lord is my way of life, the Lord is my speech and conversation.

¹⁷By Guru's Grace, my mind is saturated with the Lord's Love; this is what makes up my service. ||1||Pause||

¹⁸The Lord is my Simritees, the Lord is my Shaastras; the Lord is my relative and the Lord is my brother.

¹⁹I am hungry for the Lord; my mind is satisfied with the Name of the Lord. The Lord is my relation, my helper in the end. ||2||

²⁰Without the Lord, other assets are false. They do not go with the mortal when he departs.

²¹The Lord is my wealth, which shall go with me; wherever I go, it will go. ||3||

²²One who is attached to falsehood is false; false are the deeds he does.

²³Says Nanak, everything happens according to the Will of the Lord; no one has any say in this at all. ||4||2||4||

²⁴Goojaree, Third Mehl:

²⁵It is so difficult to obtain the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in this age; only the Gurmukh obtains it.

²⁶Without the Name, no one is liberated; let anyone make other efforts, and see. ||1||

²⁷I am a sacrifice to my Guru; I am forever a sacrifice to Him.

²⁸Meeting the True Guru, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and one remains absorbed in Him. ||1||Pause||

²⁹When God instills His fear, a balanced detachment springs up in the mind.

³⁰Through this detachment, the Lord is obtained, and one remains absorbed in the Lord. ||2||

³¹He alone is liberated, who conquers his mind; Maya does not stick to him again.

³²He dwells in the Tenth Gate, and obtains the understanding of the three worlds. ||3||

³³O Nanak, through the Guru, one becomes the Guru; behold, His Wondrous Will.

¹This deed was done by the Creator Lord; one's light merges into the Light. ||4||3||5||

²Goojaree, Third Mehl:

³Everyone chants the Lord's Name, Raam, Raam; but by such chanting, the Lord is not obtained.

⁴By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and then, the fruits are obtained. ||1||

⁵One who enshrines love for God within his mind,

⁶never forgets the Lord; he continually chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, in his conscious mind. ||1||Pause||

⁷Those whose hearts are filled with hypocrisy, who are called saints only for their outward show

⁸- their desires are never satisfied, and they depart grieving in the end. ||2||

⁹Although one may bathe at many places of pilgrimage, still, his ego never departs.

¹⁰That man, whose sense of duality does not depart - the Righteous Judge of Dharma shall punish him. ||3||

¹¹That humble being, unto whom God showers His Mercy, obtains Him; how few are the Gurmukhs who understand Him.

¹²O Nanak, if one conquers his ego within, then he comes to meet the Lord. ||4||4||6||

¹³Goojaree, Third Mehl:

¹⁴That humble being who eliminates his ego is at peace; he is blessed with an ever-stable intellect.

¹⁵That humble being is immaculately pure, who, as Gurmukh, understands the Lord, and focuses his consciousness on the Lord's Feet. ||1||

¹⁶O my unconscious mind, remain conscious of the Lord, and you shall obtain the fruits of your desires.

¹⁷By Guru's Grace, you shall obtain the sublime elixir of the Lord; by continually drinking it in, you shall have eternal peace. ||1||Pause||

¹⁸When one meets the True Guru, he becomes the philosopher's stone, with the ability to transform others, inspiring them to worship the Lord.

¹⁹One who worships the Lord in adoration, obtains his rewards; instructing others, he reveals the Truth. ||2||

²⁰Without becoming the philosopher's stone, he does not inspire others to worship the Lord; without instructing his own mind, how can he instruct others?

²¹The ignorant, blind man calls himself the guru, but to whom can he show the way? ||3||

²²O Nanak, without His Mercy, nothing can be obtained. One upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace, obtains Him.

²³By Guru's Grace, God bestows greatness, and projects the Word of His Shabad. ||4||5||7||

²⁴Goojaree, Third Mehl, Panch-Padhay:

²⁵Wisdom is not produced in Benares, nor is wisdom lost in Benares.

²⁶Meeting the True Guru, wisdom is produced, and then, one obtains this understanding. ||1||

²⁷Listen to the sermon of the Lord, O mind, and enshrine the Shabad of His Word within your mind.

²⁸If your intellect remains stable and steady, then doubt shall depart from within you. ||1||Pause||

²⁹Enshrine the Lord's lotus feet within your heart, and your sins shall be erased.

³⁰If your soul overcomes the five elements, then you shall come to have a home at the true place of pilgrimage. ||2||

³¹This mind of the self-centered manmukh is so stupid; it does not obtain any understanding at all.

³²It does not understand the Name of the Lord; it departs repenting in the end. ||3||

³³In this mind are found Benares, all sacred shrines of pilgrimage and the Shaastras; the True Guru has explained this.

³⁴The sixty-eight places of pilgrimage remain with one, whose heart is filled with the Lord. ||4||

³⁵O Nanak, upon meeting the True Guru, the Order of the Lord's Will is understood, and the One Lord comes to dwell in the mind.

³⁶Those who are pleasing to You, O True Lord, are true. They remain absorbed in You. ||5||6||8||

¹Goojaree, Third Mehl:

²The One Name is the treasure, O Pandit. Listen to these True Teachings.

³No matter what you read in duality, reading and contemplating it, you shall only continue to suffer. ||1||

⁴So grasp the Lord's lotus feet; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, you shall come to understand.

⁵With your tongue, taste the sublime elixir of the Lord, and your mind shall be rendered immaculately pure. ||1||Pause||

⁶Meeting the True Guru, the mind becomes content, and then, hunger and desire will not trouble you any longer.

⁷Obtaining the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one does not go knocking at other doors. ||2||

⁸The self-willed manmukh babbles on and on, but he does not understand.

⁹One whose heart is illumined, by Guru's Teachings, obtains the Name of the Lord. ||3||

¹⁰You may listen to the Shaastras, but you do not understand, and so you wander from door to door.

¹¹He is a fool, who does not understand his own self, and who does not enshrine love for the True Lord. ||4||

¹²The True Lord has fooled the world - no one has any say in this at all.

¹³O Nanak, He does whatever He pleases, according to His Will. ||5||7||9||

¹⁴One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁵Raag Goojaree, Fourth Mehl, Chau-Padhay, First House:

¹⁶O Servant of the Lord, O True Guru, O True Primal Being, I offer my prayers to You, O Guru.

¹⁷I am an insect and a worm; O True Guru, I seek Your Sanctuary; please, be merciful and bestow upon me the Light of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

¹⁸O my Best Friend, O Divine Guru, please illuminate me with the Light of the Lord.

¹⁹By Guru's Instructions, the Naam is my breath of life, and the Praise of the Lord is my occupation. ||1||Pause||

²⁰The Lord's servants have the greatest good fortune; they have faith in the Lord, Har, Har, and a thirst for the Lord.

²¹Obtaining the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, they are satisfied; joining the Company of the Holy, their virtues shine forth. ||2||

²²Those who have not obtained the essence of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, are most unfortunate; they are taken away by the Messenger of Death.

²³Those who have not sought the Sanctuary of the True Guru and the Company of the Holy - cursed are their lives, and cursed are their hopes of life. ||3||

²⁴Those humble servants of the Lord, who have obtained the Company of the True Guru, have such pre-ordained destiny written on their foreheads.

²⁵Blessed, blessed is the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, where the sublime essence of the Lord is obtained. Meeting with His humble servant, O Nanak, the Naam shines forth. ||4||1||

²⁶Goojaree, Fourth Mehl:

²⁷The Lord, the Lord of the Universe is the Beloved of the minds of those who join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. The Shabad of His Word fascinates their minds.

²⁸Chant, and meditate on the Lord, the Lord of the Universe; God is the One who gives gifts to all. ||1||

²⁹O my Siblings of Destiny, the Lord of the Universe, Govind, Govind, Govind, has enticed and fascinated my mind.

³⁰I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, Govind, Govind, Govind; joining the Holy Society of the Guru, Your humble servant is beautified. ||1||Pause||

³¹Devotional worship to the Lord is an ocean of peace; through the Guru's Teachings, wealth, prosperity and the spiritual powers of the Siddhas fall at our feet.

³²The Lord's Name is the Support of His humble servant; he chants the Lord's Name, and with the Lord's Name he is adorned. ||2||

¹Evil-minded, unfortunate and shallow-minded are those who feel anger in their minds, when they hear the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

²You may place ambrosial nectar before crows and ravens, but they will be satisfied only by eating manure and dung with their mouths. ||3||

³The True Guru, the Speaker of Truth, is the pool of Ambrosial Nectar; bathing within it, the crow becomes a swan.

⁴O Nanak, blessed, blessed and very fortunate are those who, through the Guru's Teachings, with the Naam, wash away the filth of their hearts. ||4||2||

⁵Goojaree, Fourth Mehl:

⁶The humble servants of the Lord are exalted, and exalted is their speech. With their mouths, they speak for the benefit of others.

⁷Those who listen to them with faith and devotion, are blessed by the Lord; showering His Mercy, He saves them. ||1||

⁸Lord, please, let me meet the beloved servants of the Lord.

⁹The True Guru, the Perfect Guru, is my Beloved, my very breath of life; the Guru has saved me, the sinner. ||1||Pause||

¹⁰The Gurmukhs are fortunate, so very fortunate; their Support is the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

¹¹They obtain the Ambrosial Nectar of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; through the Guru's Teachings, they obtain this treasure-house of devotional worship. ||2||

¹²Those who do not obtain the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the True Guru, the True Primal Being, are most unfortunate; they are destroyed by the Messenger of Death.

¹³They are like dogs, pigs and jackasses; they are cast into the womb of reincarnation, and the Lord strikes them down as the worst of murderers. ||3||

¹⁴O Lord, Kind to the poor, please shower Your mercy upon Your humble servant, and save him.

¹⁵Servant Nanak has entered the Lord's Sanctuary; if it pleases You, Lord, please save him. ||4||3||

¹⁶Goojaree, Fourth Mehl:

¹⁷Be Merciful and attune my mind, so that I might meditate continually on the Lord's Name, night and day.

¹⁸The Lord is all peace, all virtue and all wealth; remembering Him, all misery and hunger depart. ||1||

¹⁹O my mind, the Lord's Name is my companion and brother.

²⁰Under Guru's Instruction, I sing the Praises of the Lord's Name; it shall be my help and support in the end, and it shall deliver me in the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

²¹You Yourself are the Giver, O God, Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts; by Your Grace, You have infused longing for You in my mind.

²²My mind and body long for the Lord; God has fulfilled my longing. I have entered the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||2||

²³Human birth is obtained through good actions; without the Name, it is cursed, totally cursed, and it passes away in vain.

²⁴Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one obtains only suffering for his delicacies to eat. His mouth is insipid, and his face is spat upon, again and again. ||3||

²⁵Those humble beings, who have entered the Sanctuary of the Lord God, Har, Har, are blessed with glory in the Court of the Lord, Har, Har.

²⁶Blessed, blessed and congratulations, says God to His humble servant. O servant Nanak, He embraces him, and blends him with Himself. ||4||4||

²⁷Goojaree, Fourth Mehl:

²⁸O Gurmukhs, O my friends and companions, give me the gift of the Lord's Name, the life of my very life.

²⁹I am the slave, the servant of the Guru's Sikhs, who meditate on the Lord God, the Primal Being, night and day. ||1||

³⁰Within my mind and body, I have enshrined love for the feet of the Guru's Sikhs.

³¹O my life-mates, O Sikhs of the Guru, O Siblings of Destiny, instruct me in the Teachings, that I might merge in the Lord's Merger. ||1||Pause||

¹When it pleases the Lord God, he causes us to meet the Gurmukhs; the Hymns of the Guru, the True Guru, are very sweet to their minds.

²Very fortunate are the beloved Sikhs of the Guru; through the Lord, they attain the supreme state of Nirvaanaa. ||2||

³The Sat Sangat, the True Congregation of the Guru, is loved by the Lord. The Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is sweet and pleasing to their minds.

⁴One who does not obtain the Association of the True Guru, is a most unfortunate sinner; he is consumed by the Messenger of Death. ||3||

⁵If God, the Kind Master, Himself shows His kindness, then the Lord causes the Gurmukh to merge into Himself.

⁶Servant Nanak chants the Glorious Words of the Guru's Bani; through them, one is absorbed into the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||5||

⁷Goojaree, Fourth Mehl:

⁸One who has found the Lord God through the True Guru, has made the Lord seem so sweet to me, through the His Teachings.

⁹My mind and body have been cooled and soothed, and totally rejuvenated; by great good fortune, I meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||

¹⁰O Siblings of Destiny, let anyone who can implant the Lord's Name within me, come and meet with me.

¹¹Unto my Beloved, I give my mind and body, and my very breath of life. He speaks to me of the sermon of my Lord God. ||1||Pause||

¹²Through the Guru's Teachings, I have obtained courage, faith and the Lord. He keeps my mind focused continually on the Lord, and the Name of the Lord.

¹³The Words of the True Guru's Teachings are Ambrosial Nectar; this Amrit trickles into the mouth of the one who chants them. ||2||

¹⁴Immaculate is the Naam, which cannot be stained by filth. Through the Guru's Teachings, chant the Naam with love.

¹⁵That man who has not found the wealth of the Naam is most unfortunate; he dies over and over again. ||3||

¹⁶The source of bliss, the Life of the world, the Great Giver brings bliss to all who meditate on the Lord.

¹⁷You are the Great Giver, all beings belong to You. O servant Nanak, You forgive the Gurmukhs, and merge them into Yourself. ||4||6||

¹⁸One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁹Goojaree, Fourth Mehl, Third House:

²⁰Mother, father and sons are all made by the Lord;

²¹the relationships of all are established by the Lord. ||1||

²²I have given up all my strength, O my brother.

²³The mind and body belong to the Lord, and the human body is entirely under His control. ||1||Pause||

²⁴The Lord Himself infuses devotion into His humble devotees.

²⁵In the midst of family life, they remain unattached. ||2||

²⁶When inner love is established with the Lord,

²⁷then whatever one does, is pleasing to my Lord God. ||3||

²⁸I do those deeds and tasks which the Lord has set me to;

²⁹I do that which He makes me to do. ||4||

³⁰Those whose devotional worship is pleasing to my God

³¹- O Nanak, those humble beings center their minds lovingly on the Lord's Name. ||5||1||7||16||

¹Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padhay, First House:

²One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

³Why, O mind, do you contrive your schemes, when the Dear Lord Himself provides for your care?

⁴From rocks and stones, He created the living beings, and He places before them their sustenance. ||1||

⁵O my Dear Lord of Souls, one who meets with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is saved.

⁶By Guru's Grace, he obtains the supreme status, and the dry branch blossoms forth in greenery. ||1||Pause||

⁷Mother, father, friends, children, and spouse - no one is the support of any other.

⁸For each and every individual, the Lord and Master provides sustenance; why do you fear, O my mind? ||2||

⁹The flamingoes fly hundreds of miles, leaving their young ones behind.

¹⁰Who feeds them, and who teaches them to feed themselves? Have you ever thought of this in your mind? ||3||

¹¹All treasures and the eighteen supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhas are held by the Lord and Master in the palm of His hand.

¹²Servant Nanak is devoted, dedicated, and forever a sacrifice to You - Your vast expanse has no limit. ||4||1||

¹³Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padhay, Second House:

¹⁴One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁵They perform the four rituals and six religious rites; the world is engrossed in these.

¹⁶They are not cleansed of the filth of their ego within; without the Guru, they lose the game of life. ||1||

¹⁷O my Lord and Master, please, grant Your Grace and preserve me.

¹⁸Out of millions, hardly anyone is a servant of the Lord. All the others are mere traders. ||1||Pause||

¹⁹I have searched all the Shaastras, the Vedas and the Simritees, and they all affirm one thing:

²⁰without the Guru, no one obtains liberation; see, and reflect upon this in your mind. ||2||

²¹Even if one takes cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and wanders over the whole planet,

²²and performs all the rituals of purification day and night, still, without the True Guru, there is only darkness. ||3||

²³Roaming and wandering around, I have travelled over the whole world, and now, I have arrived at the Lord's Door.

²⁴The Lord has eliminated my evil-mindedness, and enlightened my intellect; O servant Nanak, the Gurmukhs are saved. ||4||1||2||

²⁵Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

²⁶The wealth of the Lord is my chanting, the wealth of the Lord is my deep meditation; the wealth of the Lord is the food I enjoy.

²⁷I do not forget the Lord, Har, Har, from my mind, even for an instant; I have found Him in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||

²⁸O mother, your son has returned home with a profit:

²⁹the wealth of the Lord while walking, the wealth of the Lord while sitting, and the wealth of the Lord while waking and sleeping. ||1||Pause||

³⁰The wealth of the Lord is my cleansing bath, the wealth of the Lord is my wisdom; I center my meditation on the Lord.

³¹The wealth of the Lord is my raft, the wealth of the Lord is my boat; the Lord, Har, Har, is the ship to carry me across. ||2||

¹Through the wealth of the Lord, I have forgotten my anxiety; through the wealth of the Lord, my doubt has been dispelled.

²From the wealth of the Lord, I have obtained the nine treasures; the true essence of the Lord has come into my hands. ||3||

³No matter how much I eat and expend this wealth, it is not exhausted; here and hereafter, it remains with me.

⁴Loading the treasure, Guru Nanak has given it, and this mind is imbued with the Lord's Love. ||4||2||3||

⁵Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁶Remembering Him, all sins are erased, and ones generations are saved.

⁷So meditate continually on the Lord, Har, Har; He has no end or limitation. ||1||

⁸O son, this is your mother's hope and prayer,

⁹that you may never forget the Lord, Har, Har, even for an instant. May you ever vibrate upon the Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

¹⁰May the True Guru be kind to you, and may you love the Society of the Saints.

¹¹May the preservation of your honor by the Transcendent Lord be your clothes, and may the singing of His Praises be your food. ||2||

¹²So drink in forever the Ambrosial Nectar; may you live long, and may the meditative remembrance of the Lord give you infinite delight.

¹³May joy and pleasure be yours; may your hopes be fulfilled, and may you never be troubled by worries. ||3||

¹⁴Let this mind of yours be the bumble bee, and let the Lord's feet be the lotus flower.

¹⁵Says servant Nanak, attach your mind to them, and blossom forth like the song-bird, upon finding the rain-drop. ||4||3||4||

¹⁶Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁷He decides to go to the west, but the Lord leads him away to the east.

¹⁸In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; He holds all matters in His hands. ||1||

¹⁹Cleverness is of no use at all.

²⁰Whatever my Lord and Master deems to be right - that alone comes to pass. ||1||Pause||

²¹In his desire to acquire land and accumulate wealth, one's breath escapes him.

²²He must leave all his armies, assistants and servants; rising up, he departs to the City of Death. ||2||

²³Believing himself to be unique, he clings to his stubborn mind, and shows himself off.

²⁴That food, which the blameless people have condemned and discarded, he eats again and again. ||3||

²⁵One, unto whom the Lord shows His natural mercy, has the noose of Death cut away from him.

²⁶Says Nanak, one who meets the Perfect Guru, is celebrated as a householder as well as a renunciate. ||4||4||5||

²⁷Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

²⁸Those humble beings who chant the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, have their bonds broken.

²⁹Sexual desirer, anger, the poison of Maya and egotism - they are rid of these afflictions. ||1||

³⁰One who joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and chants the Praises of the Lord,

³¹has his mind purified, by Guru's Grace, and he obtains the joy of all joys. ||1||Pause||

³²Whatever the Lord does, he sees that as good; such is the devotional service he performs.

³³He sees friends and enemies as all the same; this is the sign of the Way of Yoga. ||2||

³⁴The all-pervading Lord is fully filling all places; why should I go anywhere else?

³⁵He is permeating and pervading within each and every heart; I am immersed in His Love, dyed in the color of His Love. ||3||

³⁶When the Lord of the Universe becomes kind and compassionate, then one enters the home of the Fearless Lord.

¹His troubles and worries are ended in an instant; O Nanak, he merges in celestial peace. ||4||5||6||

²Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

³Whoever I approach to ask for help, I find him full of his own troubles.

⁴One who worships in his heart the Supreme Lord God, crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

⁵No one, except the Guru-Lord, can dispel our pain and sorrow.

⁶Forsaking God, and serving another, one's honor, dignity and reputation are decreased. ||1||Pause||

⁷Relatives, relations and family bound through Maya are of no avail.

⁸The Lord's servant, although of lowly birth, is exalted. Associating with him, one obtains the fruits of his mind's desires. ||2||

⁹Through corruption, one may obtain thousands and millions of enjoyments, but even so, his desires are not satisfied through them.

¹⁰Remembering the Naam, the Name of the Lord, millions of lights appear, and the incomprehensible is understood. ||3||

¹¹Wandering and roaming around, I have come to Your Door, Destroyer of fear, O Lord King.

¹²Servant Nanak yearns for the dust of the feet of the Holy; in it, he finds peace. ||4||6||7||

¹³Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Panch-Pada, Second House:

¹⁴One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁵First, he came to dwell in his mother's womb; leaving it, he came into the world.

¹⁶Splendid mansions, beautiful gardens and palaces - none of these shall go with him. ||1||

¹⁷All other greeds of the greedy are false.

¹⁸The Perfect Guru has given me the Name of the Lord, which my soul has come to treasure. ||1||Pause||

¹⁹Surrounded by dear friends, relatives, children, siblings and spouse, he laughs playfully.

²⁰But when the very last moment arrives, Death seizes him, while they merely look on. ||2||

²¹By continual oppression and exploitation, he accumulates wealth, gold, silver and money,

²²but the load-bearer gets only paltry wages, while the rest of the money passes on to others. ||3||

²³He grabs and collects horses, elephants and chariots, and claims them as his own.

²⁴But when he sets out on the long journey, they will not go even one step with him. ||4||

²⁵The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my wealth; the Naam is my princely pleasure; the Naam is my family and helper.

²⁶The Guru has given Nanak the wealth of the Naam; it neither perishes, nor comes or goes. ||5||1||8||

²⁷Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Thi-Padhay, Second House:

²⁸One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²⁹My sorrows are ended, and I am filled with peace. The fire of desire within me has been quenched.

³⁰The True Guru has implanted the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me; it neither dies, nor goes anywhere. ||1||

³¹Meditating on the Lord, the bonds of Maya are cut away.

³²When my God becomes kind and compassionate, one joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and is emancipated. ||1||Pause||

¹Twenty-four hours a day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, absorbed in loving devotional worship.

²He remains unaffected by both fortune and misfortune, and he recognizes the Creator Lord. ||2||

³The Lord saves those who belong to Him, and all pathways are opened to them.

⁴Says Nanak, the value of the Merciful Lord God cannot be described. ||3||1||9||

⁵Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Dho-Padhay, Second House:

⁶One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

⁷The Lord has sanctified the sinners and made them His own; all bow in reverence to Him.

⁸No one asks about their ancestry and social status; instead, they yearn for the dust of their feet. ||1||

⁹O Lord Master, such is Your Name.

¹⁰You are called the Lord of all creation; You give Your unique support to Your servant. ||1||Pause||

¹¹In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak has obtained understanding; singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is his only support.

¹²The Lord's servants, Naam Dayv, Trilochan, Kabeer and Ravi Daas the shoe-maker have been liberated. ||2||1||10||

¹³Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹⁴No one understands the Lord; who can understand His plans?

¹⁵Shiva, Brahma and all the silent sages cannot understand the state of the Lord. ||1||

¹⁶God's sermon is profound and unfathomable.

¹⁷He is heard to be one thing, but He is understood to be something else again; He is beyond description and explanation. ||1||Pause||

¹⁸He Himself is the devotee, and He Himself is the Lord and Master; He is imbued with Himself.

¹⁹Nanak's God is pervading and permeating everywhere; wherever he looks, He is there. ||2||2||11||

²⁰Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

²¹The humble servant of the Lord has no plans, politics or other clever tricks.

²²Whenever the occasion arises, there, he meditates on the Lord. ||1||

²³It is the very nature of God to love His devotees;

²⁴He cherishes His servant, and caresses him as His own child. ||1||Pause||

²⁵The Lord's servant sings the Kirtan of His Praises as his worship, deep meditation, self-discipline and religious observances.

³⁵They call themselves silent sages, Yogis and scholars of the Shaastras, but Maya has has them all under her control.

³⁶The three gods, and the 330,000,000 demi-gods, were astonished. ||1||

¹The power of Maya is pervading everywhere.

²Her secret is known only by Guru's Grace - no one else knows it. ||1||Pause||

³Conquering and conquering, she has conquered everywhere, and she clings to the whole world.

⁴Says Nanak, she surrenders to the Holy Saint; becoming his servant, she falls at his feet. ||2||5||14||

⁵Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁶With my palms pressed together, I offer my prayer, meditating on my Lord and Master.

⁷Giving me His hand, the Transcendent Lord has saved me, and erased all my sins. ||1||

⁸The Lord and Master Himself has become merciful.

⁹I have been emancipated, the embodiment of bliss; I am the child of the Lord of the Universe - He has carried me across. ||1||Pause||

¹⁰Meeting her Husband, the soul-bride sings the songs of joy, and celebrates her Lord and Master.

¹¹Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru, who has emancipated everyone. ||2||6||15||

¹²Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹³Mother, father, siblings, children and relatives - their power is insignificant.

¹⁴I have seen the many pleasures of Maya, but none goes with them in the end. ||1||

¹⁵O Lord Master, other than You, no one is mine.

¹⁶I am a worthless orphan, devoid of merit; I long for Your Support. ||1||Pause||

¹⁷I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Your lotus feet; here and hereafter, Yours is the only power.

²²O friend, the Saintly Guru is such a helper.

²³Meeting Him, the bonds of Maya are released, and one never forgets the Lord. ||1||Pause||

²⁴Practicing, practicing various actions in so many ways, I came to recognize this as the best way.

²⁵Joining the Company of the Holy, Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||8||17||

²⁶Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

²⁷In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; His value cannot be described.

²⁸He turns the king into a beggar in an instant, and He infuses splendor into the lowly. ||1||

²⁹Meditate forever on Your Lord.

³⁰Why should I feel worry or anxiety, when I am here for only a short time. ||1||Pause||

³¹You are my support, O my Perfect True Guru; my mind has taken to the protection of Your Sanctuary.

³With my hair, I wash the feet of Your slave; this is my life's purpose. ||1||

⁸Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

⁹Overwhelming the realm of Brahma, the realm of Shiva and the realm of Indra, Maya has come running here.

¹⁰But she cannot touch the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; she washes and massages their feet. ||1||

¹¹Now, I have come and entered the Lord's Sanctuary.

¹²This awful fire has burned so many; the True Guru has cautioned me about it. ||1||Pause||

¹³It clings to the necks of the Siddhas, and the seekers, the demi-gods, angels and mortals.

¹⁴Servant Nanak has the support of God the Creator, who has millions of slaves like her. ||2||12||21||

²⁸He who is protected by You, O Helper Lord - what can the world do to him? ||2||14||23||

²⁹Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

³⁰The Lord Himself has protected the honor of His humble servant.

³¹The Guru has given the medicine of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, and all afflictions are gone. ||1||Pause||

³⁴My Creator Lord has made me His own; such is the glorious greatness of the Perfect Guru.

³⁵Guru Nanak laid the immovable foundation, which grows higher and higher each day. ||2||15||24||

³⁶Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

³⁷You never focused your consciousness on the Lord.

¹You have spent your life engaged in worldly pursuits; you have not sung the Glorious Praises of the treasure of the Naam. ||1||Pause||

²Shell by shell, you accumulate money; in various ways, you work for this.

³Forgetting God, you suffer awful pain beyond measure, and you are consumed by the Great Enticer, Maya. ||1||

⁴Show Mercy to me, O my Lord and Master, and do not hold me to account for my actions.

⁵O merciful and compassionate Lord God, ocean of peace, Nanak has taken to Your Sanctuary, Lord. ||2||16||25||

¹⁰Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:

¹¹Intellectual egotism and great love for Maya are the most serious chronic diseases.

¹²The Lord's Name is the medicine, which is potent to cure everything. The Guru has given me the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

¹³My mind and body yearn for the dust of the Lord's humble servants.

¹⁴With it, the sins of millions of incarnations are obliterated. O Lord of the Universe, please fulfill my desire. ||1||Pause||

¹⁵In the beginning, in the middle, and in the end, one is hounded by dreadful desires.

¹⁶Through the Guru's spiritual wisdom, we sing the Kirtan of the Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and the noose of death is cut away. ||2||

¹⁷Those who are cheated by sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment suffer reincarnation forever.

¹⁸By loving devotional worship to God, and meditative remembrance of the Lord of the World, one's wandering in reincarnation is ended. ||3||

¹⁹Friends, children, spouses and well-wishers are burnt by the three fevers.

²⁰Chanting the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam, one's miseries are ended, as one meets the Saintly servants of the Lord. ||4||

²¹Wandering around in all directions, they cry out, "Nothing can save us!"

³⁴O Lord of the Universe, without You, there is no other place.

³⁵Show Mercy to me, O Supreme Lord Master, that I may chant Your Name. ||Pause||

³⁶Serving the True Guru, I am attached to the Lord's Lotus Feet; by great good fortune, I have embraced love for Him.

¹My heart lotus blossoms forth in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; I have renounced evil-mindedness and intellectualism. ||2||

²One who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, twenty-four hours a day, and remembers the Lord in meditation, who is Kind to the poor,

³saves himself, and redeems all his generations; all of his bonds are released. ||3||

⁴I take the Support of Your Feet, O God, O Lord and Master; you are with me through and through, God.

⁵Nanak has entered Your Sanctuary, God; giving him His hand, the Lord has protected him. ||4||2||32||

⁶Goojaree, Ashtpadheeyaa, First Mehl, First House:

⁷One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

⁸In the one village of the body, live the five thieves; they have been warned, but they still go out stealing.

⁹One who keeps his assets safe from the three modes and the ten passions, O Nanak, attains liberation and emancipation. ||1||

¹⁰Center your mind on the all-pervading Lord, the Wearer of garlands of the jungles.

¹¹Let your rosary be the chanting of the Lord's Name in your heart. ||1||Pause||

¹²Its roots extend upwards, and its branches reach down; the four Vedas are attached to it.

¹³He alone reaches this tree with ease, O Nanak, who remains wakeful in the Love of the Supreme Lord God. ||2||

¹⁴The Elysian Tree is the courtyard of my house; in it are the flowers, leaves and stems of reality.

¹⁵Meditate on the self-existent, immaculate Lord, whose Light is pervading everywhere; renounce all your worldly entanglements. ||3||

¹⁶Listen, O seekers of Truth - Nanak begs you to renounce the traps of Maya.

¹⁷Reflect within your mind, that by enshrining love for the One Lord, you shall not be subject to birth and death again. ||4||

¹⁸He alone is said to be a Guru, he alone is said to be a Sikh, and he alone is said to be a physician, who knows the patient's illness.

¹⁹He is not affected by actions, responsibilities and entanglements; in the entanglements of his household, he maintains the detachment of Yoga. ||5||

²⁰He renounces sexual desire, anger, egotism, greed, attachment and Maya.

²¹Within his mind, he meditates on the reality of the Imperishable Lord; by Guru's Grace he finds Him. ||6||

²²Spiritual wisdom and meditation are all said to be God's gifts; all of the demons are turned white before him.

²³He enjoys the taste of the honey of God's lotus; he remains awake, and does not fall asleep. ||7||

²⁴This lotus is very deep; its leaves are the nether regions, and it is connected to the whole universe.

²⁵Under Guru's Instruction, I shall not have to enter the womb again; I have renounced the poison of corruption, and I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar. ||8||1||

²⁶Goojaree, First Mehl:

²⁷Those who beg of God the Great Giver - their numbers cannot be counted.

²⁸You, Almighty True Lord, fulfill the desires within their hearts. ||1||

²⁹O Dear Lord, chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline and truth are my foundations.

³⁰Bless me with Your Name, Lord, that I may find peace. Your devotional worship is a treasure over-flowing. ||1||Pause||

³¹Some remain absorbed in Samaadhi, their minds fixed lovingly on the One Lord; they reflect only on the Word of the Shabad.

³²In that state, there is no water, land, earth or sky; only the Creator Lord Himself exists. ||2||

³³There is no intoxication of Maya there, and no shadow, nor the infinite light of the sun or the moon.

³⁴The eyes within the mind which see everything - with one glance, they see the three worlds. ||3||

¹He created air, water and fire, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva - the whole creation.

²All are beggars; You alone are the Great Giver, God. You give Your gifts according to Your own considerations. ||4||

³Three hundred thirty million gods beg of God the Master; even as He gives, His treasures are never exhausted.

⁴Nothing can be contained in a vessel turned upside-down; Ambrosial Nectar pours into the upright one. ||5||

⁵The Siddhas in Samaadhi beg for wealth and miracles, and proclaim His victory.

⁶As is the thirst within their minds, so is the water which You give to them. ||6||

⁷The most fortunate ones serve their Guru; there is no difference between the Divine Guru and the Lord.

⁸The Messenger of Death cannot see those who come to realize within their minds the contemplative meditation of the Word of the Shabad. ||7||

⁹I shall never ask anything else of the Lord; please, bless me with the Love of Your Immaculate Name.

¹⁰Nanak, the song-bird, begs for the Ambrosial Water; O Lord, shower Your Mercy upon him, and bless him with Your Praise. ||8||2||

¹¹Goojaree, First Mehl:

¹²O Dear One, he is born, and then dies; he continues coming and going; without the Guru, he is not emancipated.

¹³Those mortals who become Gurmukhs are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord; through the Name, they obtain salvation and honor. ||1||

¹⁴O Siblings of Destiny, focus your consciousness lovingly on the Lord's Name.

¹⁵By Guru's Grace, one begs of the Lord God; such is the glorious greatness of the Naam. ||1||Pause||

¹⁶O Dear One, so many wear various religious robes, for begging and filling their bellies.

¹⁷Without devotional worship to the Lord, O mortal, there can be no peace. Without the Guru, pride does not depart. ||2||

¹⁸O Dear One, death hangs constantly over his head. Incarnation after incarnation, it is his enemy.

¹⁹Those who are attuned to the True Word of the Shabad are saved. The True Guru has imparted this understanding. ||3||

²⁰In the Guru's Sanctuary, the Messenger of Death cannot see the mortal, or torture him.

²¹I am imbued with the Imperishable and Immaculate Lord Master, and lovingly attached to the Fearless Lord. ||4||

²²O Dear One, implant the Naam within me; lovingly attached to the Naam, I lean on the True Guru's Support.

²³Whatever pleases Him, He does; no one can erase His actions. ||5||

²⁴O Dear One, I have hurried to the Sanctuary of the Guru; I have no love for any other except You.

²⁵I constantly call upon the One Lord; since the very beginning, and throughout the ages, He has been my help and support. ||6||

²⁶O Dear One, please preserve the Honor of Your Name; I am hand and glove with You.

²⁷Bless me with Your Mercy, and reveal to me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, O Guru. Through the Word of the Shabad, I have burnt away my ego. ||7||

²⁸O Dear One, what should I ask of You? Nothing appears permanent; whoever comes into this world shall depart.

²⁹Bless Nanak with the wealth of the Naam, to adorn his heart and neck. ||8||3||

³⁰Goojaree, First Mehl:

³¹O Dear One, I am not high or low or in the middle. I am the Lord's slave, and I seek the Lord's Sanctuary.

³²Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I am detached from the world; I have forgotten sorrow, separation and disease. ||1||

³³O Siblings of Destiny, by Guru's Grace, I perform devotional worship to my Lord and Master.

¹One whose heart is filled with the Hymns of the True Guru, obtains the Pure Lord. He is not under the power of the Messenger of Death, nor does he owe Death anything. ||1||Pause||

²He chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord with his tongue, and abides with God; he does whatever pleases the Lord.

³Without the Lord's Name, life passes in vain in the world, and every moment is useless. ||2||

⁴The false have no place of rest, either inside or outside; the slanderer does not find salvation.

⁵Even if one is resentful, God does not withhold His blessings; day by day, they increase. ||3||

⁶No one can take away the Guru's gifts; my Lord and Master Himself has given them.

⁷The black-faced slanderers, with slander in their mouths, do not appreciate the Guru's gifts. ||4||

⁸God forgives and blends with Himself those who take to His Sanctuary; He does not delay for an instant.

⁹He is the source of bliss, the Greatest Lord; through the True Guru, we are united in His Union. ||5||

¹⁰Through His Kindness, the Kind Lord pervades us; through Guru's Teachings, our wanderings cease.

¹¹Touching the philosopher's stone, metal is transformed into gold. Such is the glorious greatness of the Society of the Saints. ||6||

¹²The Lord is the immaculate water; the mind is the bather, and the True Guru is the bath attendant, O Siblings of Destiny.

¹³That humble being who joins the Sat Sangat shall not be consigned to reincarnation again; his light merges into the Light. ||7||

¹⁴You are the Great Primal Lord, the infinite tree of life; I am a bird perched on Your branches.

¹⁵Grant to Nanak the Immaculate Naam; throughout the ages, he sings the Praises of the Shabad. ||8||4||

¹⁶Goojaree, First Mehl, Fourth House:

¹⁷One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

¹⁸The devotees worship the Lord in loving adoration. They thirst for the True Lord, with infinite affection.

¹⁹They tearfully beg and implore the Lord; in love and affection, their consciousness is at peace. ||1||

²⁰Chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, O my mind, and take to His Sanctuary.

²¹The Lord's Name is the boat to cross over the world-ocean. Practice such a way of life. ||1||Pause||

²²O mind, even death wishes you well, when you remember the Lord through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

²³The intellect receives the treasure, the knowledge of reality and supreme bliss, by repeating the Lord's Name in the mind. ||2||

²⁴The fickle consciousness wanders around chasing after wealth; it is intoxicated with worldly love and emotional attachment.

²⁵Devotion to the Naam is permanently implanted within the mind, when it is attuned to the Guru's Teachings and His Shabad. ||3||

²⁶Wandering around, doubt is not dispelled; afflicted by reincarnation, the world is being ruined.

²⁷The Lord's eternal throne is free of this affliction; he is truly wise, who takes the Naam as his deep meditation. ||4||

²⁸This world is engrossed in attachment and transitory love; it suffers the terrible pains of birth and death.

²⁹Run to the Sanctuary of the True Guru, chant the Lord's Name in your heart, and you shall swim across. ||5||

³⁰Following the Guru's Teaching, the mind becomes stable; the mind accepts it, and reflects upon it in peaceful poise.

³¹That mind is pure, which enshrines Truth within, and the most excellent jewel of spiritual wisdom. ||6||

³²By the Fear of God, and Love of God, and by devotion, man crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, focusing his consciousness on the Lord's Lotus Feet.

¹The Name of the Lord, the most pure and sacred, is within my heart; this body is Your Sanctuary, Lord. ||7||

²The waves of greed and avarice are subdued, by treasuring the Lord's Name in the mind.

³Subdue my mind, O Pure Immaculate Lord; says Nanak, I have entered Your Sanctuary. ||8||1||5||

⁴Goojaree, Third Mehl, First House:

⁵One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

⁶I dance, and make this mind dance as well.

⁷By Guru's Grace, I eliminate my self-conceit.

⁸One who keeps his consciousness focused on the Lord is liberated; he obtains the fruits of his desires. ||1||

⁹So dance, O mind, before your Guru.

¹⁰If you dance according to the Guru's Will, you shall obtain peace, and in the end, the fear of death shall leave you. ||Pause||

¹¹One whom the Lord Himself causes to dance, is called a devotee. He Himself links us to His Love.

¹²He Himself sings, He Himself listens, and He puts this blind mind on the right path. ||2||

¹³One who dances night and day, and banishes Shakti's Maya, enters the House of the Lord Shiva, where there is no sleep.

¹⁴The world is asleep in Maya, the house of Shakti; it dances, jumps and sings in duality. The self-willed manmukh has no devotion. ||3||

¹⁵The angels, mortals, renunciates, ritualists, silent sages and beings of spiritual wisdom dance.

¹⁶The Siddhas and seekers, lovingly focused on the Lord, dance, as do the Gurmukhs, whose minds dwell in reflective meditation. ||4||

¹⁷The planets and solar systems dance in the three qualities, as do those who bear love for You, Lord.

¹⁸The beings and creatures all dance, and the four sources of creation dance. ||5||

¹⁹They alone dance, who are pleasing to You, and who, as Gurmukhs, embrace love for the Word of the Shabad.

²⁰They are devotees, with the essence of spiritual wisdom, who obey the Hukam of His Command. ||6||

²¹This is devotional worship, that one loves the True Lord; without service, one cannot be a devotee.

²²If one remains dead while yet alive, he reflects upon the Shabad, and then, he obtains the True Lord. ||7||

²³So many people dance for the sake of Maya; how rare are those who contemplate reality.

²⁴By Guru's Grace, that humble being obtains You, Lord, upon whom You show Mercy. ||8||

²⁵If I forget the True Lord, even for an instant, that time passes in vain.

²⁶With each and every breath, constantly remember the Lord; He Himself shall forgive you, according to His Will. ||9||

²⁷They alone dance, who are pleasing to Your Will, and who, as Gurmukhs, contemplate the Word of the Shabad.

²⁸Says Nanak, they alone find celestial peace, whom You bless with Your Grace. ||10||1||6||

²⁹Goojaree, Fourth Mehl, Second House:

³⁰One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

³¹Without the Lord, my soul cannot survive, like an infant without milk.

³²The inaccessible and incomprehensible Lord God is obtained by the Gurmukh; I am a sacrifice to my True Guru. ||1||

³³O my mind, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praise is a boat to carry you across.

³⁴The Gurmukhs obtain the Ambrosial Water of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. You bless them with Your Grace. ||Pause||

¹Sanak, Sanandan and Naarad the sage serve You; night and day, they continue to chant Your Name, O Lord of the jungle.

²Slave Prahlaad sought Your Sanctuary, and You saved his honor. ||2||

³The One unseen immaculate Lord is pervading everywhere, as is the Light of the Lord.

⁴All are beggars, You alone are the Great Giver. Reaching out our hands, we beg from You. ||3||

⁵The speech of the humble devotees is sublime; they sing continually the wondrous, Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

⁶Their lives become fruitful; they save themselves, and all their generations. ||4||

⁷The self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in duality and evil-mindedness; within them is the darkness of attachment.

⁸They do not love the sermon of the humble Saints, and they are drowned along with their families. ||5||

⁹By slandering, the slanderer washes the filth off others; he is an eater of filth, and a worshipper of Maya.

¹⁰He indulges in the slander of the humble Saints; he is neither on this shore, nor the shore beyond. ||6||

¹¹All this worldly drama is set in motion by the Creator Lord; He has infused His almighty strength into all.

¹²The thread of the One Lord runs through the world; when He pulls out this thread, the One Creator alone remains. ||7||

¹³With their tongues, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and savor Them. They place the sublime essence of the Lord upon their tongues, and savor it.

¹⁴O Nanak, other than the Lord, I ask for nothing else; I am in love with the Love of the Lord's sublime essence. ||8||1||7||

¹²Destroy my egotism, O Merciful Lord; dispel my anxiety, O Infinite Primal Lord. ||3||

¹³Remember in meditation the Almighty Lord, every moment and every instant; meditate on God in the celestial peace of Samaadhi.

¹⁴O Merciful to the meek, perfectly blissful Lord, I beg for the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||4||

¹⁵Emotional attachment is false, desire is filthy, and longing is corrupt.

¹⁶Please, preserve my faith, dispel these doubts from my mind, and save me, O Formless Lord. ||5||

¹⁷They have become wealthy, loaded with the treasures of the Lord's riches; they were lacking even clothes.

¹⁸The idiotic, foolish and senseless people have become virtuous and patient, receiving the Gracious Glance of the Lord of wealth. ||6||

²³Goojaree Ki Vaar, Third Mehl, Sung In The Tune Of The Vaar Of Sikandar & Biraahim:

²⁴One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²⁵Salok, Third Mehl:

²⁶This world perishing in attachment and possessiveness; no one knows the way of life.

²⁷One who walks in harmony with the Guru's Will, obtains the supreme status of life.

²⁸Those humble beings who focus their consciousness on the Lord's Feet, live forever and ever.

²⁹O Nanak, by His Grace, the Lord abides in the minds of the Gurmukhs, who merge in celestial bliss. ||1||

³⁰Third Mehl:

³¹Within the self is the pain of doubt; engrossed in worldly affairs, they are killing themselves.

³²Asleep in the love of duality, they never wake up; they are in love with, and attached to Maya.

³³They do not think of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and they do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad. This is the conduct of the self-willed manmukhs.

¹They do not obtain the Lord's Name, and they waste away their lives in vain; O Nanak, the Messenger of Death punishes and dishonors them. ||2||

²Pauree:

³He created Himself - at that time, there was no other.

⁴He consulted Himself for advice, and what He did came to pass.

⁵At that time, there were no Akaashic Ethers, no nether regions, nor the three worlds.

⁶At that time, only the Formless Lord Himself existed - there was no creation.

⁷As it pleased Him, so did He act; without Him, there was no other. ||1||

⁸Salok, Third Mehl:

⁹My Master is eternal. He is seen by practicing the Word of the Shabad.

¹⁰He never perishes; He does not come or go in reincarnation.

¹¹So serve Him, forever and ever; He is contained in all.

¹²Why serve another who is born, and then dies?

¹³Fruitless is the life of those who do not know their Lord and Master, and who center their consciousness on others.

¹⁴O Nanak, it cannot be known, how much punishment the Creator shall inflict on them. ||1||

¹⁵Third Mehl:

¹⁶Meditate on the True Name; the True Lord is pervading everywhere.

¹⁷O Nanak, by understanding the Hukam of the Lord's Command, one becomes acceptable, and then obtains the fruit of Truth.

¹⁸He wanders around babbling and speaking, but he does not understand the Lord's Command at all. He is blind, the falsest of the false. ||2||

¹⁹Pauree:

²⁰Creating union and separation, He laid the foundations of the Universe.

²¹By His Command, the Lord of Light fashioned the Universe, and infused His Divine Light into it.

²²From the Lord of Light, all light originates. The True Guru proclaims the Word of the Shabad.

²³Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, under the influence of the three dispositions, were put to their tasks.

²⁴He created the root of Maya, and the peace obtained in the fourth state of consciousness. ||2||

²⁵Salok, Third Mehl:

²⁶That alone is chanting, and that alone is deep meditation, which is pleasing to the True Guru.

²⁷Pleasing the True Guru, glorious greatness is obtained.

²⁸O Nanak, renouncing self-conceit, one merges into the Guru. ||1||

²⁹Third Mehl:

³⁰How rare are those who receive the Guru's Teachings.

³¹O Nanak, he alone receives it, whom the Lord Himself blesses with glorious greatness. ||2||

³²Pauree:

³³Emotional attachment to Maya is spiritual darkness; it is very difficult and such a heavy load.

³⁴Loaded with so very many stones of sin, how can the boat cross over?

³⁵Those who are attuned to the Lord's devotional worship night and day are carried across.

³⁶Under the Instruction of the Guru's Shabad, one sheds egotism and corruption, and the mind becomes immaculate.

³⁷Meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; the Lord, Har, Har, is our Saving Grace. ||3||

³⁸Salok:

³⁹O Kabeer, the gate of liberation is narrow, less than one-tenth of a mustard seed.

⁴⁰The mind has become as big as an elephant; how can it pass through this gate?

⁴¹If one meets such a True Guru, by His Pleasure, He shows His Mercy.

⁴²Then, the gate of liberation becomes wide open, and the soul easily passes through. ||1||

⁴³Third Mehl:

⁴⁴O Nanak, the gate of liberation is very narrow; only the very tiny can pass through.

⁴⁵Through egotism, the mind has become bloated. How can it pass through?

⁴⁶Meeting the True Guru, egotism departs, and one is filled with the Divine Light.

¹Then, this soul is liberated forever, and it remains absorbed in celestial bliss. ||2||

²Pauree:

³God created the Universe, and He keeps it under His power.

⁴God cannot be obtained by counting; the mortal wanders in doubt.

⁵Meeting the True Guru, one remains dead while yet alive; understanding Him, he is absorbed in the Truth.

⁶Through the Word of the Shabad, egotism is eradicated, and one is united in the Lord's Union.

⁷He knows everything, and Himself does everything; beholding His Creation, He rejoices. ||4||

⁸Salok, Third Mehl:

⁹One who has not focused his consciousness on the True Guru, and into whose mind the Naam does not come

¹⁰cursed is such a life. What has he gained by coming into the world?

¹¹Maya is false capital; in an instant, its false covering falls off.

¹²When it slips from his hand, his body turns black, and his face withers away.

¹³Those who focus their consciousness on the True Guru - peace comes to abide in their minds.

¹⁴They meditate on the Name of the Lord with love; they are lovingly attuned to the Name of the Lord.

¹⁵O Nanak, the True Guru has bestowed upon them the wealth, which remains contained within their hearts.

¹⁶They are imbued with supreme love; its color increases day by day. ||1||

¹⁷Third Mehl:

¹⁸Maya is a serpent, clinging to the world.

¹⁹Whoever serves her, she ultimately devours.

²⁰The Gurmukh is a snake-charmer; he has trampled her and thrown her down, and crushed her underfoot.

²¹O Nanak, they alone are saved, who remain lovingly absorbed in the True Lord. ||2||

²²Pauree:

²³The minstrel cries out, and God hears him.

²⁴He is comforted within his mind, and he obtains the Perfect Lord.

²⁵Whatever destiny is pre-ordained by the Lord, those are the deeds he does.

²⁶When the Lord and Master becomes Merciful, then one obtains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence as his home.

²⁷That God of mine is so very great; as Gurmukh, I have met Him. ||5||

²⁸Salok, Third Mehl:

²⁹There is One Lord God of all; He remains ever-present.

³⁰O Nanak, if one does not obey the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then within one's own home, the Lord seems far away.

³¹They alone obey the Lord's Command, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace.

³²Obeying His Command, one obtains peace, and becomes the happy, loving soul-bride. ||1||

³³Third Mehl:

³⁴She who does not love her Husband Lord, burns and wastes away all through the night of her life.

³⁵O Nanak, the soul-brides dwell in peace; they have the Lord, their King, as their Husband. ||2||

³⁶Pauree:

³⁷Roaming over the entire world, I have seen that the Lord is the only Giver.

³⁸The Lord cannot be obtained by any device at all; He is the Architect of Karma.

³⁹Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and the Lord is easily revealed within.

⁴⁰The fire of desire within is quenched, and one bathes in the Lord's Pool of Ambrosial Nectar.

⁴¹The great greatness of the great Lord God - the Gurmukh speaks of this. ||6||

⁴²Salok, Third Mehl:

⁴³What love is this between the body and soul, which ends when the body falls?

⁴⁴Why feed it by telling lies? When you leave, it does not go with you.

¹The body is merely blind dust; go, and ask the soul.

²The soul answers, "I am enticed by Maya, and so I come and go, again and again."

³O Nanak, I do not know my Lord and Master's Command, by which I would merge in the Truth. ||1||

⁴Third Mehl:

⁵The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the only permanent wealth; all other wealth comes and goes.

⁶Thieves cannot steal this wealth, nor can robbers take it away.

⁷This wealth of the Lord is embedded in the soul, and with the soul, it shall depart.

⁸It is obtained from the Perfect Guru; the self-willed manmukhs do not receive it.

⁹Blessed are the traders, O Nanak, who have come to earn the wealth of the Naam. ||2||

¹⁰Pauree:

¹¹My Master is so very great, true, profound and unfathomable.

¹²The whole world is under His power; everything is the projection of Him.

¹³By Guru's Grace, the eternal wealth is obtained, bringing peace and patience to the mind.

¹⁴By His Grace, the Lord dwells in the mind, and one meets the Brave Guru.

¹⁵The virtuous praise the ever-stable, permanent, perfect Lord. ||7||

¹⁶Salok, Third Mehl:

¹⁷Cursed is the life of those who forsake and throw away the peace of the Lord's Name, and suffer pain instead by practicing ego and sin.

¹⁸The ignorant self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in the love of Maya; they have no understanding at all.

¹⁹In this world and in the world beyond, they do not find peace; in the end, they depart regretting and repenting.

²⁰By Guru's Grace, one may meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and egotism departs from within him.

²¹O Nanak, one who has such pre-ordained destiny, comes and falls at the Guru's Feet. ||1||

²²Third Mehl:

²³The self-willed manmukh is like the inverted lotus; he has neither devotional worship, nor the Lord's Name.

²⁴He remains engrossed in material wealth, and his efforts are false.

²⁵His consciousness is not softened within, and the words from his mouth are insipid.

²⁶He does not mingle with the righteous; within him are falsehood and selfishness.

²⁷O Nanak, the Creator Lord has arranged things, so that the self-willed manmukhs are drowned by telling lies, while the Gurmukhs are saved by chanting the Lord's Name. ||2||

²⁸Pauree:

²⁹Without understanding, one must wander around the cycle of reincarnation, and continue coming and going.

³⁰One who has not served the True Guru, shall depart regretting and repenting in the end.

³¹But if the Lord shows His Mercy, one finds the Guru, and ego is banished from within.

³²Hunger and thirst depart from within, and peace comes to dwell in the mind.

³³Forever and ever, praise Him with love in your heart. ||8||

³⁴Salok, Third Mehl:

³⁵One who serves his True Guru, is worshipped by everyone.

³⁶Of all efforts, the supreme effort is the attainment of the Lord's Name.

³⁷Peace and tranquility come to dwell within the mind; meditating within the heart, there comes a lasting peace.

³⁸The Ambrosial Amrit is his food, and the Ambrosial Amrit is his clothes; O Nanak, through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, greatness is obtained. ||1||

³⁹Third Mehl:

⁴⁰O mind, listen to the Guru's Teachings, and you shall obtain the treasure of virtue.

¹The Lord, the Giver of peace, shall dwell in your mind, and your egotism and pride shall depart.

²O Nanak, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then, night and day, one centers his meditation on the Lord. ||2||

³Pauree:

⁴The Gurmukh is totally truthful, content and pure.

⁵Deception and wickedness have departed from within him, and he easily conquers his mind.

⁶There, the Divine Light and the essence of bliss are manifest, and ignorance is eliminated.

⁷Night and day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and manifests the excellence of the Lord.

⁸The One Lord is the Giver of all; the Lord alone is our friend. ||9||

⁹Salok, Third Mehl:

¹⁰One who understands God, who lovingly centers his mind on the Lord night and day, is called a Brahmin.

¹¹Consulting the True Guru, he practices Truth and self-restraint, and he is rid of the disease of ego.

¹²He sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and gathers in His Praises; his light is blended with the Light.

¹³In this world, one who knows God is very rare; eradicating ego, he is absorbed in God.

¹⁴O Nanak, meeting him, peace is obtained; night and day, he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||1||

¹⁵Third Mehl:

¹⁶Within the ignorant self-willed manmukh is deception; with his tongue, he speaks lies.

¹⁷Practicing deception, he does not please the Lord God, who always sees and hears with natural ease.

¹⁸In the love of duality, he goes to instruct the world, but he is engrossed in the poison of Maya and attachment to pleasure.

¹⁹By doing so, he suffers in constant pain; he is born and then dies, and comes and goes again and again.

²⁰His doubts do not leave him at all, and he rots away in manure.

²¹One, unto whom my Lord Master shows His Mercy, listens to the Guru's Teachings.

²²He meditates on the Lord's Name, and sings the Lord's Name; in the end, the Lord's Name will deliver him. ||2||

²³Pauree:

²⁴Those who obey the Hukam of the Lord's Command, are the perfect persons in the world.

²⁵They serve their Lord Master, and reflect upon the Perfect Word of the Shabad.

²⁶They serve the Lord, and love the True Word of the Shabad.

²⁷They attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, as they eradicate egotism from within.

²⁸O Nanak, the Gurmukhs remain united with Him, chanting the Name of the Lord, and enshrining it within their hearts. ||10||

³²The Gurmukh beholds the Lord, the Gurmukh speaks of the Lord, and the Gurmukh naturally loves the Lord.

³³O Nanak, the Gurmukh attains spiritual wisdom, and the pitch-black darkness of ignorance is dispelled.

³⁴One who is blessed by the Perfect Lord's Grace - as Gurmukh, he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||1||

³⁵Third Mehl:

³⁶Those who do not serve the True Guru do not embrace love for the Word of the Shabad.

³⁷They do not meditate on the Celestial Naam, the Name of the Lord - why did they even bother to come into the world?

³⁸Time and time again, they are reincarnated, and they rot away forever in manure.

³⁹They are attached to false greed; they are not on this shore, nor on the one beyond.

¹O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are saved; the Creator Lord unites them with Himself. ||2||

²Pauree:

³The devotees look beauteous in the True Court of the Lord; they abide in the True Word of the Shabad.

⁴The Lord's Love wells up in them; they are attracted by the Lord's Love.

⁵They abide in the Lord's Love, they remain imbued with the Lord's Love forever, and with their tongues, they drink in the sublime essence of the Lord.

⁶Fruitful are the lives of those Gurmukhs who recognize the Lord and enshrine Him in their hearts.

⁷Without the Guru, they wander around crying out in misery; in the love of duality, they are ruined. ||11||

⁸Salok, Third Mehl:

⁹In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the devotees earn the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they obtain the supreme status of the Lord.

¹⁰Serving the True Guru, they enshrine the Lord's Name in their minds, and they meditate on the Naam, night and day.

¹¹Within the home of their own selves, they remain unattached, through the Guru's Teachings; they burn away egotism and emotional attachment.

¹²They save themselves, and they save the whole world. Blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them.

¹³He alone finds such a True Guru, upon whose forehead the Lord inscribed such pre-ordained destiny.

¹⁴Servant Nanak is a sacrifice to his Guru; when he was wandering in doubt, He placed him on the Path. ||1||

¹⁵Third Mehl:

¹⁶Beholding Maya with her three dispositions, he goes astray; he is like the moth, which sees the flame, and is consumed.

¹⁷The mistaken, deluded Pandits gaze upon Maya, and watch to see whether anyone has offered them something.

¹⁸In the love of duality, they read continually about sin, while the Lord has withheld His Name from them.

¹⁹The Yogis, the wandering hermits and the Sannyaasees have gone astray; their egotism and arrogance have increased greatly.

²⁰They do not accept the true donations of clothes and food, and their lives are ruined by their stubborn minds.

²¹Among these, he alone is a man of poise, who, as Gurmukh, meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

²²Unto whom should servant Nanak speak and complain? All act as the Lord causes them to act. ||2||

²³Pauree:

²⁴Emotional attachment to Maya, sexual desire, anger and egotism are demons.

²⁵Because of them, mortals are subject to death; above their heads hangs the heavy club of the Messenger of Death.

²⁶The self-willed manmukhs, in love with duality, are led onto the path of Death.

²⁷In the City of Death, they are tied up and beaten, and no one hears their cries.

²⁸One who is blessed by the Lord's Grace meets the Guru; as Gurmukh, he is emancipated. ||12||

²⁹Salok, Third Mehl:

³⁰By egotism and pride, the self-willed manmukhs are enticed, and consumed.

³¹Those who center their consciousness on duality are caught in it, and remain stuck.

³²But when it is burnt away by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, only then does it depart from within.

³³The body and mind become radiant and bright, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell within the mind.

³⁴O Nanak, the Lord's Name is the antidote to Maya; the Gurmukh obtains it. ||1||

³⁵Third Mehl:

³⁶This mind has wandered through so many ages; it has not remained stable - it continues coming and going.

³⁷When it is pleasing to the Lord's Will, then He causes the soul to wander; He has set the world-drama in motion.

³⁸When the Lord forgives, then one meets the Guru, and becoming stable, he remains absorbed in the Lord.

¹O Nanak, through the mind, the mind is satisfied, and then, nothing comes or goes. ||2||

²Pauree:

³The body is the fortress of the Infinite Lord; it is obtained only by destiny.

⁴The Lord Himself dwells within the body; He Himself is the Enjoyer of pleasures.

⁵He Himself remains detached and unaffected; while unattached, He is still attached.

⁶He does whatever He pleases, and whatever He does, comes to pass.

⁷The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord's Name, and separation from the Lord is ended. ||13||

⁸Salok, Third Mehl:

¹⁹Pauree:

²⁰Within the fortress of body, are the hard and rigid doors of falsehood, deception and pride.

²¹Deluded by doubt, the blind and ignorant self-willed manmukhs cannot see them.

²²They cannot be found by any efforts; wearing their religious robes, the wearers have grown weary of trying.

²³The doors are opened only by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and then, one chants the Name of the Lord.

³⁶O Nanak, very fortunate are those who reflect upon the Lord, Har, Har, within their hearts. ||2||

³⁷Pauree:

³⁸O my utterly greedy mind, you are constantly engrossed in greed.

³⁹In your desire for the enticing Maya, you wander in the ten directions.

⁴⁰Your name and social status shall not go with you hereafter; the self-willed manmukh is consumed by pain.

⁴³Salok, Third Mehl:

²⁵with your nose torn, and your shoulders injured, you shall have only the straw of coarse grain to eat. ||1||Pause||

²⁶All day long, you shall wander in the forest, and even then, your belly will not be full.

²⁷You did not follow the advice of the humble devotees, and so you shall obtain the fruits of your actions. ||2||

²⁸Enduring pleasure and pain, drowned in the great ocean of doubt, you shall wander in numerous reincarnations.

²⁹You have lost the jewel of human birth by forgetting God; when will you have such an opportunity again? ||3||

³⁰You turn on the wheel of reincarnation, like an ox at the oil-press; the night of your life passes away without salvation.

³¹Says Kabeer, without the Name of the Lord, you shall pound your head, and regret and repent. ||4||1||

³²Goojaree, Third House:

³³Kabeer's mother sobs, cries and bewails

³⁴- O Lord, how will my grandchildren live? ||1||

³⁵Kabeer has given up all his spinning and weaving,

³⁶and written the Name of the Lord on his body. ||1||Pause||

³⁷As long as I pass the thread through the bobbin,

³⁸I forget the Lord, my Beloved. ||2||

³⁹My intellect is lowly - I am a weaver by birth,

⁴⁰but I have earned the profit of the Name of the Lord. ||3||

⁴¹Says Kabeer, listen, O my mother

⁴²- the Lord alone is the Provider, for me and my children. ||4||2||

¹Goojaree, Padhay Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

²One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

³If You gave me an empire, then what glory would be in it for me?

⁴If You made me beg for charity, what would it take away from me? ||1||

⁵Meditate and vibrate upon the Lord, O my mind, and you shall obtain the state of Nirvaanaa.

⁶You shall not have to come and go in reincarnation any longer. ||1||Pause||

⁷You created all, and You lead them astray in doubt.

⁸They alone understand, unto whom You give understanding. ||2||

⁹Meeting the True Guru, doubt is dispelled.

¹⁰Who else should I worship? I can see no other. ||3||

¹¹One stone is lovingly decorated,

¹²while another stone is walked upon.

¹³If one is a god, then the other must also be a god.

¹⁴Says Naam Dayv, I serve the Lord. ||4||1||

¹⁵Goojaree, First House:

¹⁶He does not have even a trace of impurity - He is beyond impurity. He is fragrantly scented - He has come to take His Seat in my mind.

¹⁷No one saw Him come - who can know Him, O Siblings of Destiny? ||1||

¹⁸Who can describe Him? Who can understand Him? The all-pervading Lord has no ancestors, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

¹⁹As the path of a bird's flight across the sky cannot be seen,

²⁰and the path of a fish through the water cannot be seen;||2||

²¹As the mirage leads one to mistake the sky for a pitcher filled with water

²²- so is God, the Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, who fits these three comparisons. ||3||2||

²³Goojaree, Padhay Of Ravi Daas Jee, Third House:

²⁴One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²⁵The calf has contaminated the milk in the teats.

²⁶The bumble bee has contaminated the flower, and the fish the water. ||1||

²⁷O mother, where shall I find any offering for the Lord's worship?

²⁸I cannot find any other flowers worthy of the incomparable Lord. ||1||Pause||

²⁹The snakes encircle the sandalwood trees.

³⁰Poison and nectar dwell there together. ||2||

³¹Even with incense, lamps, offerings of food and fragrant flowers,

³²how are Your slaves to worship You? ||3||

³³I dedicate and offer my body and mind to You.

³⁴By Guru's Grace, I attain the immaculate Lord. ||4||

³⁵I cannot worship You, nor offer You flowers.

³⁶Says Ravi Daas, what shall my condition be hereafter? ||5||1||

³⁷Goojaree, Padhay Of Trilochan Jee, First House:

³⁸One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

³⁹You have not cleansed the filth from within yourself, although outwardly, you wear the dress of a renunciate.

⁴⁰In the heart-lotus of your self, you have not recognized God - why have you become a Sannyaasee? ||1||

¹Deluded by doubt, O Jai Chand,

²you have not realized the Lord, the embodiment of supreme bliss. ||1||Pause||

³You eat in each and every house, fattening your body; you wear the patched coat and the ear-rings of the beggar, for the sake of wealth.

⁴You apply the ashes of cremation to your body, but without a Guru, you have not found the essence of reality. ||2||

⁵Why bother to chant your spells? Why bother to practice austerities? Why bother to churn water?

⁶Meditate on the Lord of Nirvaanaa, who has created the 8.4 million species of beings. ||3||

⁷Why bother to carry the water-pot, O saffron-robed Yogi? Why bother to visit the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage?

⁸Says Trilochan, listen, mortal: you have no corn - what are you trying to thresh? ||4||1||

⁹Goojaree:

¹⁰At the very last moment, one who thinks of wealth, and dies in such thoughts,

¹¹shall be reincarnated over and over again, in the form of serpents. ||1||

¹²O sister, do not forget the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||Pause||

¹³At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts,

¹⁴shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute. ||2||

¹⁵At the very last moment, one who thinks of his children, and dies in such thoughts,

¹⁶shall be reincarnated over and over again as a pig. ||3||

¹⁷At the very last moment, one who thinks of mansions, and dies in such thoughts,

¹⁸shall be reincarnated over and over again as a goblin. ||4||

¹⁹At the very last moment, one who thinks of the Lord, and dies in such thoughts,

²⁰says Trilochan, that man shall be liberated; the Lord shall abide in his heart. ||5||2||

²¹Goojaree, Padhay Of Jai Dayv Jee, Fourth House:

²²One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

²³In the very beginning, was the Primal Lord, unrivalled, the Lover of Truth and other virtues.

²⁴He is absolutely wonderful, transcending creation; remembering Him, all are emancipated. ||1||

²⁵Dwell only upon the beauteous Name of the Lord,

²⁶the embodiment of ambrosial nectar and reality.

²⁷Remembering Him in meditation, the fear of birth, old age and death will not trouble you. ||1||Pause||

²⁸If you desire to escape the fear of the Messenger of Death, then praise the Lord joyfully, and do good deeds.

²⁹In the past, present and future, He is always the same; He is the embodiment of supreme bliss. ||2||

³⁰If you seek the path of good conduct, forsake greed, and do not look upon other men's property and women.

³¹Renounce all evil actions and evil inclinations, and hurry to the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||3||

³²Worship the immaculate Lord, in thought, word and deed.

³³What is the good of practicing Yoga, giving feasts and charity, and practicing penance? ||4||

³⁴Meditate on the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, O man; He is the source of all the spiritual powers of the Siddhas.

³⁵Jai Dayv has openly come to Him; He is the salvation of all, in the past, present and future. ||5||1||
