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. || 311 Says Nanak, their good fortune is perfect, if they enshrine the Lord's Feet within their minds. Il 4 || 90 || 159 11 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 I Pure is that body, in which sin does not arise. In the Love of the Lord is pure glory. II 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 11 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. Il 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 11 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 II 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.
