They alone are handsome, clever and wise,

who surrender to the Will of God. ||2||

Blessed is their coming into this world,

if they recognize their Lord and Master in each and every heart. ||3||

Says Nanak, their good fortune is perfect,

if they enshrine the Lord's Feet within their minds. ||4||90||159||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord's servant does not associate with the faithless cynic.

One is in the clutches of vice, while the other is in love with the Lord. ||1||Pause||

It would be like an imaginary rider on a decorated horse,

or a eunuch caressing a woman. ||1||

It would be like tying up an ox and trying to milk it,

or riding a cow to chase a tiger. ||2||

It would be like taking a sheep and worshipping it as the Elysian cow,

the giver of all blessings; it would be like going out shopping without any money. ||3||

O Nanak, consciously meditate on the Lord's Name.

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord Master, your Best Friend. ||4||91||160||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Pure and steady is that intellect,

which drinks in the Lord's sublime essence. ||1||

Keep the Support of the Lord's Feet in your heart,

and you shall be saved from the cycle of birth and death. ||1||Pause||

Pure is that body, in which sin does not arise.

In the Love of the Lord is pure glory. ||2||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, corruption is eradicated.

This is the greatest blessing of all. ||3||

Imbued with loving devotional worship of the Sustainer of the Universe,

Nanak asks for the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||4||92||161||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Such is my love for the Lord of the Universe;

through perfect good destiny, I have been united with Him. ||1||Pause||

As the wife is delighted upon beholding her husband,

so does the Lord's humble servant live by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

As the mother is rejuvenated upon seeing her son,

so is the Lord's humble servant imbued with Him, through and through. ||2||

As the greedy man rejoices upon beholding his wealth,

so is the mind of the Lord's humble servant attached to His Lotus Feet. ||3||

May I never forget You, for even an instant, O Great Giver!

Nanak's God is the Support of his breath of life. ||4||93||162||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Those humble beings who are accustomed to the Lord's sublime essence,

are pierced through with loving devotional worship of the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||1||Pause||

All other pleasures look like ashes;

without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the world is fruitless. ||1||

He Himself rescues us from the deep dark well.

Wondrous and Glorious are the Praises of the Lord of the Universe. ||2||

In the woods and meadows, and throughout the three worlds, the Sustainer of the Universe is pervading.

The Expansive Lord God is Merciful to all beings. ||3||

Says Nanak, that speech alone is excellent,

which is approved by the Creator Lord. ||4||94||163||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Every day, take your bath in the Sacred Pool of the Lord.

Mix and drink in the most delicious, sublime Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

The water of the Name of the Lord of the Universe is immaculate and pure.

Take your cleansing bath in it, and all your affairs shall be resolved. ||1||
