Bride-lover is praise-worthy, recognizes the Divine,
Follows Hukam, renounces ego,
Dyed in Beloved, delight follows. 1.
Listen girl-friend! The sign to meet the Divine:
Surrender mind and body, forsake societal norms. 1. Reflect.
Girl-friend counsels girl-friend,
Earn what pleases the Divine,
Such bride-lover remains cradled. 2.
Caught in ego, one doesn’t enter the Mansion,
Then regrets, when night passes,
Unfortunate, self-oriented, suffers pain. 3.
I would plea if I thought Divine was far,
Indestructible Divine permeates everywhere,
Servant Nanak sees the Presence and sings. 4.
We are finite; our understanding is finite. Our understanding was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad.
