The discarded soul-brides suffer in terrible agony; they have no luck at all. ||6||

What are the signs of the discarded brides?

They miss their Husband Lord, and they wander around in dishonor.

The clothes of those brides are filthy-they pass their life-night in agony. ||7||

What actions have the happy soul-brides performed?

They have obtained the fruit of their pre-ordained destiny.

Casting His Glance of Grace, the Lord unites them with Himself. ||8||

Those, whom God causes to abide by His Will,

have the Shabad of His Word abiding deep within.

They are the true soul-brides, who embrace love for their Husband Lord. ||9||

Those who take pleasure in God's Will

remove doubt from within.

O Nanak, know Him as the True Guru, who unites all with the Lord. ||10||

Meeting with the True Guru, they receive the fruits of their destiny,

and egotism is driven out from within.

The pain of evil-mindedness is eliminated; good fortune comes and shines radiantly from their foreheads. ||11||

The Bani of Your Word is Ambrosial Nectar.

It permeates the hearts of Your devotees.

Serving You, peace is obtained; granting Your Mercy, You bestow salvation. ||12||

Meeting with the True Guru, one comes to know;

by this meeting, one comes to chant the Name.

Without the True Guru, God is not found; all have grown weary of performing religious rituals. ||13||

I am a sacrifice to the True Guru;

I was wandering in doubt, and He has set me on the right path.

If the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, He unites us with Himself. ||14||

You, Lord, are pervading in all,

and yet, the Creator keeps Himself concealed.

O Nanak, the Creator is revealed to the Gurmukh, within whom He has infused His Light. ||15||

The Master Himself bestows honor.

He creates and bestows body and soul.

He Himself preserves the honor of His servants; He places both His Hands upon their foreheads. ||16||

All strict rituals are just clever contrivances.

My God knows everything.

He has made His Glory manifest, and all people celebrate Him. ||17 |

| He has not considered my merits and demerits;

this is God's Own Nature.

Hugging me close in His Embrace, He protects me, and now, even the hot wind does not touch me. ||18||

Within my mind and body, I meditate on God.

I have obtained the fruits of my soul's desire.

You are the Supreme Lord and Master, above the heads of kings. Nanak lives by chanting Your Name. ||19||

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 060

You Yourself created the Universe;

You created the play of duality, and staged it.

The Truest of the True is pervading everywhere; He instructs those with whom He is pleased. ||20||

By Guru's Grace, I have found God.
