Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
The Word of the Guru's Shabad quiets worries and troubles.
Coming and going ceases, and all comforts are obtained. ||1||
Fear is dispelled, meditating on the Fearless Lord.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
I have enshrined the Lotus Feet of the Lord within my heart.
The Guru has carried me across the ocean of fire. ||2||
I was sinking down, and the Perfect Guru pulled me out.
I was cut off from the Lord for countless incarnations, and now the Guru united me with Him again. ||3||
Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru;
meeting Him, I have been saved. ||4||56||125||
Gauri creates a mood where the listener is encouraged to strive harder in order to achieve an objective. However, the encouragement given by the Raag does not allow the ego to increase. This therefore creates the atmosphere where the listener is encouraged, but still prevented from becoming arrogant and self-important.
