Pauree:
Work for the One Lord; no one returns empty-handed from Him.
When the Lord abides within your mind, body, mouth and heart, then whatever you desire shall come to pass.
He alone obtains the Lord's service, and the Mansion of His Presence, unto whom the Holy Saint is compassionate.
He joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, only when the Lord Himself shows His Mercy.
I have searched and searched, across so many worlds, but without the Name, there is no peace.
The Messenger of Death retreats from those who dwell in the Saadh Sangat.
Again and again, I am forever devoted to the Saints.
O Nanak, my sins from so long ago have been erased. ||27||
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.
