Gauree, Fifth Mehl, Maajh:
The Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name, Lord; the Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name.
Twenty-four hours a day, dwell upon the wisdom of the Perfect True Guru. ||1||Pause||
That heart, in which the Supreme Lord God abides, is the most beautiful place.
The Messenger of Death does not even approach those who chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord with the tongue. ||1||
I have not understood the wisdom of serving Him, nor have I worshipped Him in meditation.
You are my Support, O Life of the World; O my Lord and Master, Inaccessible and Incomprehensible. ||2||
When the Lord of the Universe became merciful, sorrow and suffering departed.
The hot winds do not even touch those who are protected by the True Guru. ||3||
The Guru is the All-pervading Lord, the Guru is the Merciful Master; the Guru is the True Creator Lord.
When the Guru was totally satisfied, I obtained everything. Servant Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. ||4||2||170||
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.
