215

1Honor and dishonor are the same to me; I have placed my forehead upon the Guru's Feet.

2Wealth does not excite me, and misfortune does not disturb me; I have embraced love for my Lord and Master. ||1||

3The One Lord and Master dwells in the home; He is seen in the wilderness as well.

4I have become fearless; the Saint has removed my doubts. The All-knowing Lord is pervading everywhere. ||2||

5Whatever the Creator does, my mind is not troubled.

6By the Grace of the Saints and the Company of the Holy, my sleeping mind has been awakened. ||3||

7Servant Nanak seeks Your Support; he has come to Your Sanctuary.

8In the Love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he enjoys intuitive peace; pain no longer touches him. ||4||2||160||

9Gauree Maalaa, Fifth Mehla:

10I have found the jewel of my Beloved within my mind.

11My body is cooled, my mind is cooled and soothed, and I am absorbed into the Shabad, the Word of the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

12My hunger has departed, my thirst has totally departed, and all my anxiety is forgotten.

13The Perfect Guru has placed His Hand upon my forehead; conquering my mind, I have conquered the whole world. ||1||

14Satisfied and satiated, I remain steady within my heart, and now, I do not waver at all.

15The True Guru has given me the inexhaustible treasure; it never decreases, and never runs out. ||2||

16Listen to this wonder, O Siblings of Destiny: the Guru has given me this understanding.

17I threw off the veil of illusion, when I met my Lord and Master; then, I forgot my jealousy of others. ||3||

18This is a wonder which cannot be described. They alone know it, who have tasted it.

19Says Nanak, the Truth has been revealed to me. The Guru has given me the treasure; I have taken it and enshrined it within my heart. ||4||3||161||

20Gauree Maalaa, Fifth Mehla:

21Those who take to the Sanctuary of the Lord, the King, are saved.

22All other people, in the mansion of Maya, fall flat on their faces on the ground. ||1||Pause||

23The great men have studied the Shaastras, the Simritees and the Vedas, and they have said this:

24"Without the Lord's meditation, there is no emancipation, and no one has ever found peace."||1||

25People may accumulate the wealth of the three worlds, but the waves of greed are still not subdued.

26Without devotional worship of the Lord, where can anyone find stability? People wander around endlessly. ||2||

27People engage in all sorts of mind-enticing pastimes, but their passions are not fulfilled.

28They burn and burn, and are never satisfied; without the Lord's Name, it is all useless. ||3||

29Chant the Name of the Lord, my friend; this is the essence of perfect peace.

30In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, birth and death are ended. Nanak is the dust of the feet of the humble. ||4||4||162||

31Gauree Maalaa, Fifth Mehla:

32Who can help me understand my condition?

33Only the Creator knows it. ||1||Pause||

34This person does things in ignorance; he does not chant in meditation, and does not perform any deep, self-disciplined meditation.

35This mind wanders around in the ten directions - how can it be restrained? ||1||

36"I am the lord, the master of my mind, body, wealth and lands. These are mine."
