1When I opened it up and gazed upon the treasures of my father and grandfather,

2then my mind became very happy. ||1||

3The storehouse is inexhaustible and immeasurable, overflowing with priceless jewels and rubies. ||2||

4The Siblings of Destiny meet together, and eat and spend,

5but these resources do not diminish; they continue to increase. ||3||

6Says Nanak, one who has such destiny written on his forehead,

7becomes a partner in these treasures. ||4||31||100||

8Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

9I was scared, scared to death, when I thought that He was far away.

10But my fear was removed, when I saw that He is pervading everywhere. ||1||

11I am a sacrifice to my True Guru.

12He shall not abandon me; He shall surely carry me across. ||1||Pause||

13Pain, disease and sorrow come when one forgets the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

14Eternal bliss comes when one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

15Do not say that anyone is good or bad.

16Renounce your arrogant pride, and grasp the Feet of the Lord. ||3||

17Says Nanak, remember the GurMantra;

18you shall find peace at the True Court. ||4||32||101||

19Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

20Those who have the Lord as their Friend and Companion

21- tell me, what else do they need? ||1||

22Those who are in love with the Lord of the Universe

23- pain, suffering and doubt run away from them. ||1||Pause||

24Those who have enjoyed the flavor of the Lord's sublime essence

25are not attracted to any other pleasures. ||2||

26Those whose speech is accepted in the Court of the Lord

27- what do they care about anything else? ||3||

28Those who belong to the One, unto whom all things belong

29- O Nanak, they find a lasting peace. ||4||33||102||

30Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

31Those who look alike upon pleasure and pain

32- how can anxiety touch them? ||1||

33The Lord's Holy Saints abide in celestial bliss.

34They remain obedient to the Lord, the Sovereign Lord King. ||1||Pause||

35Those who have the Carefree Lord abiding in their minds

36- no cares will ever bother them. ||2||

37Those who have banished doubt from their minds

38are not afraid of death at all. ||3||

39Those whose hearts are filled with the Lord's Name by the Guru

40- says Nanak, all treasures come to them. ||4||34||103||

41Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

42The Lord of Unfathomable Form has His Place in the mind.

43By Guru's Grace, a rare few come to understand this. ||1||

44The Ambrosial Pools of the celestial sermon

45- those who find them, drink them in. ||1||Pause||

46The unstruck melody of the Guru's Bani vibrates in that most special place.

47The Lord of the World is fascinated with this melody. ||2||

48The numerous, countless places of celestial peace

49- there, the Saints dwell, in the Company of the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

50There is infinite joy, and no sorrow or duality.

51The Guru has blessed Nanak with this home. ||4||35||104||

52Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

53What form of Yours should I worship and adore?

54What Yoga should I practice to control my body? ||1||
