300

1My mind and body are cooled and soothed, in intuitive peace and poise; I have dedicated myself to serving God.

2One who meditates in remembrance on the Name of the Lord - his bonds are broken, all his sins are erased, and his works are brought to perfect fruition; his evil-mindedness disappears, and his ego is subdued.

3Taking to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God, his comings and goings in reincarnation are ended.

4He saves himself, along with his family, chanting the Praises of God, the Lord of the Universe.

5I serve the Lord, and I chant the Name of God.

6From the Perfect Guru, Nanak has obtained peace and comfortable ease. ||15||

7Shalok:

8The perfect person never wavers; God Himself made him perfect.

9Day by day, he prospers; O Nanak, he shall not fail. ||16||

10Pauree:

11The day of the full moon: God alone is Perfect; He is the All-powerful Cause of causes.

12The Lord is kind and compassionate to all beings and creatures; His Protecting Hand is over all.

13He is the Treasure of Excellence, the Lord of the Universe; through the Guru, He acts.

14God, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, is All-knowing, Unseen and Immaculately Pure.

15The Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord, is the Knower of all ways and means.

16He is the Support of His Saints, with the Power to give Sanctuary. Twenty-four hours a day, I bow in reverence to Him.

17His Unspoken Speech cannot be understood; I meditate on the Feet of the Lord.

18He is the Saving Grace of sinners, the Master of the masterless; Nanak has entered God's Sanctuary. ||16||

19Shalok:

20My pain is gone, and my sorrows have departed, since I took to the Sanctuary of the Lord, my King.

21I have obtained the fruits of my mind's desires, O Nanak, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||17||

22Pauree:

23Some sing, some listen, and some contemplate;

24some preach, and some implant the Name within; this is how they are saved.

25Their sinful mistakes are erased, and they become pure; the filth of countless incarnations is washed away.

26In this world and the next, their faces shall be radiant; they shall not be touched by Maya.

27They are intuitively wise, and they are Vaishnaavs, worshippers of Vishnu; they are spiritually wise, wealthy and prosperous.

28They are spiritual heros, of noble birth, who vibrate upon the Lord God.

29The Kh'shatriyas, the Brahmins, the low-caste Soodras, the Vaisha workers and the outcast pariahs are all saved,

30meditating on the Lord. Nanak is the dust of the feet of those who know his God. ||17||

31Vaar In Gauree, Fourth Mehla:

32One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

33Shalok Fourth Mehla:

34The True Guru, the Primal Being, is kind and compassionate; all are alike to Him.

35He looks upon all impartially; with pure faith in the mind, He is obtained.

36The Ambrosial Nectar is within the True Guru; He is exalted and sublime, of Godly status.

37O Nanak, by His Grace, one meditates on the Lord; the Gurmukhs obtain Him. ||1||

38Fourth Mehla:

39Egotism and Maya are total poison; in these, people continually suffer loss in this world.

40The Gurmukh earns the profit of the wealth of the Lord's Name, contemplating the Word of the Shabad.

41The poisonous filth of egotism is removed, when one enshrines the Ambrosial Name of the Lord within the heart.
