-558In spite of all the decorations which you have made, O soul-bride, your Husband Lord is attuned to someone else. You don't have the bracelets of gold, nor the good crystal jewelry; you have not dealt with the true jeweller. Those arms, which do not embrace the neck of the Husband Lord, burn in anguish. All my companions have gone to enjoy their Husband Lord; which door should I, the wretched one, go to? O friend, I am very well-behaved, but I am not pleasing to my Husband Lord at all. I have woven my hair into lovely braids, and saturated their partings with vermillion; but when I go before Him, I am not accepted, and I die, suffering in sorrow. I weep – the whole world weeps; even the birds of the forest weep with me. The only thing which does not weep is my body's sense of separation, which has separated me from my Husband Lord. In a dream, He came, and went away again; I cried so many tears. I cannot come to You, O my Beloved, and I cannot send anyone to You. Come to me, O blessed sleep - perhaps I will see my Husband Lord again. One who brings me a message from my Lord and Master - says Nanak, what shall I give to Him? Cutting off my head, I give it to Him to sit upon; without my head, I shall still serve Him. Why haven't I died? Why hasn't my life just ended? My Husband Lord has become a stranger to me. || 1 11 3 11
WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL, FIRST HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: When the mind is filthy, everything is filthy; by washing the body, the mind is not cleansed. This world is deluded by doubt; hardly anyone understands this. || 1 || O my mind, chant the One Name. The True Guru has given me this treasure. || 1 || Pause |Even if one learns the Yogic postures of the Siddhas, and holds his sexual energy in check, still, the filth of the mind is not removed, and the filth of egotism is not eliminated. Il 211 This mind is not controlled by any other discipline, except the Sanctuary of the True Guru. Meeting the True Guru, one is transformed beyond description. || 3 || Prays Nanak, one who dies upon meeting the True Guru, shall be rejuvenated through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. The filth of attachment and possessiveness shall depart, and the mind shall become pure. || 4 || 1 || WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL: By His Grace, one serves the True Guru; by His Grace, service is performed. By His grace, this mind comes under control; by His Grace, the mind becomes pure. ||1|| O my mind, think of the True One. Think of the One, and you shall find peace; you shall never suffer in sorrow again. Il 1 || Pause II By His Grace, one dies while yet alive; by His Grace, the Word of the Shabad comes to dwell in the mind. By His Grace, one understands the Hukam of God's Command; by His Command, one merges into Him. || 2 II That tongue, which does not savor the sublime essence of the Lord — may that tongue be burned off! It remains attached to other pleasures, and through the love of duality, it suffers in pain. || 3 || The One Lord grants His Grace to all; He Himself makes distinctions.
