Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Soohee

Egotism and falsehood are deep within her; deluded by falsehood, she deals only in falsehood.

Practicing fraud and falsehood, she suffers terrible pain; without the True Guru, she does not find the way.

The foolish soul-bride wanders along dismal pathways; each and every moment, she is bumped and pushed.

God, the Great Giver, shows His Mercy, and leads her to meet the True Guru, the Primal Being.

Those beings who have been separated for countless incarnations, O Nanak, are reunited with the Lord, with intuitive ease. ||3||

Calculating the most auspicious moment, the Lord comes into the bride's home; her heart is filled with ecstasy.

The Pandits and astrologers have come, to sit and consult the almanacs.

They have consulted the almanacs, and the bride's mind vibrates with bliss, when she hears that her Friend is coming into the home of her heart.

The virtuous and wise men sat down and decided to perform the marriage immediately.

She has found her Husband, the Inaccessible, Unfathomable Primal Lord, who is forever young; He is her Best Friend from her earliest childhood.

O Nanak, he has mercifully united the bride with Himself. She shall never be separated again. ||4||1||

Soohee, Fourth Mehl:

In the first round of the marriage ceremony, the Lord sets out His Instructions for performing the daily duties of married life.

Instead of the hymns of the Vedas to Brahma, embrace the righteous conduct of Dharma, and renounce sinful actions.

Meditate on the Lord's Name; embrace and enshrine the contemplative remembrance of the Naam.

Worship and adore the Guru, the Perfect True Guru, and all your sins shall be dispelled.

By great good fortune, celestial bliss is attained, and the Lord, Har, Har, seems sweet to the mind.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 047

Servant Nanak proclaims that, in this, the first round of the marriage ceremony, the marriage ceremony has begun. ||1||

In the second round of the marriage ceremony, the Lord leads you to meet the True Guru, the Primal Being.

With the Fear of God, the Fearless Lord in the mind, the filth of egotism is eradicated.

In the Fear of God, the Immaculate Lord, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and behold the Lord's Presence before you.

The Lord, the Supreme Soul, is the Lord and Master of the Universe; He is pervading and permeating everywhere, fully filling all spaces.

Deep within, and outside as well, there is only the One Lord God. Meeting together, the humble servants of the Lord sing the songs of joy.

Servant Nanak proclaims that, in this, the second round of the marriage ceremony, the unstruck sound current of the Shabad resounds. ||2||

In the third round of the marriage ceremony, the mind is filled with Divine Love.
