Maalee Gauraa, Fifth Mehl:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
O mind, true peace comes from serving the Lord.
Other services are false, and as punishment for them, the Messenger of Death bashes in one's head. ||1||Pause||
They alone join the Sangat, the Congregation, upon whose forehead such destiny is inscribed.
They are carried across the terrifying world-ocean by the Saints of the Infinite, Primal Lord God. ||1||
Serve forever at the feet of the Holy; renounce greed, emotional attachment and corruption.
Abandon all other hopes, and rest your hopes in the One Formless Lord. ||2||
Some are faithless cynics, deluded by doubt; without the Guru, there is only pitch darkness.
Whatever is pre-ordained, comes to pass; no one can erase it. ||3||
The beauty of the Lord of the Universe is profound and unfathomable; the Names of the Infinite Lord are immunerable.
Blessed, blessed are those humble beings, O Nanak, who enshrine the Lord's Name in their hearts. ||4||1||
Mali Gaura conveys the confidence of an expert, whose knowledge is self-evident in both their outlook and actions. This knowledge is learned through experience and therefore creates an air of ‘coolness’. However, this sense of ‘coolness’ is an aspect of true happiness because you have learned how to manage things with expertise and skill.
