Man mere gaho Har Naam ka olha – Raag Gauree – Ang 178

 SGGS Angg 178.

Raag Gauree (Gauri) M.5.

Guru Ji advises the mind. Hold tight to the Lord’s Name; you will not be scorched by any hot wind (misfortune).

“Man mere gaho Har Naam ka olha; tujhe n laggay tataa cholaa” (rahao).

People make all kinds of efforts, yet they find no salvation.

“Anik jattan nahi hote chutkara”

The greater the trick, the more weight is loaded.

“Bahut sianap aagal bhaara”

Instead of using your cleverness, serve the Lord with sincerity.

“Har ki sewa nirmal heth”

If you serve sincerely, you will receive honor in God’s Court.

“Prabh ki dargeh sobha seth”.

The 2nd pada speaks of the curative power of Naam. The 3rd pada tells us how Naam fulfills all wishes, while the 4th and final pada tells us that you need His grace to receive Naam.
