1Raag Goojaree, Third Mehla, 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 Mehla:

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 Mehla:

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.
