Goojaree, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padhay, Second House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

They perform the four rituals and six religious rites; the world is engrossed in these.

They are not cleansed of the filth of their ego within; without the Guru, they lose the game of life. ||1||

O my Lord and Master, please, grant Your Grace and preserve me.

Out of millions, hardly anyone is a servant of the Lord. All the others are mere traders. ||1||Pause||

I have searched all the Shaastras, the Vedas and the Simritees, and they all affirm one thing:

without the Guru, no one obtains liberation; see, and reflect upon this in your mind. ||2||

Even if one takes cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and wanders over the whole planet,

and performs all the rituals of purification day and night, still, without the True Guru, there is only darkness. ||3||

Roaming and wandering around, I have travelled over the whole world, and now, I have arrived at the Lord's Door.

The Lord has eliminated my evil-mindedness, and enlightened my intellect; O servant Nanak, the Gurmukhs are saved. ||4||1||2||
