-561The Perfect Guru leads me to meet my Beloved; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru. || 1 || Pause | My body is overflowing with faults; how can I meet my Perfect Beloved? || 2 || The virtuous ones obtain my Beloved; I do not have these virtues. How can I meet Him, O my mother? || 3 || I am so tired of making all these efforts. Please protect Nanak, the meek one, O my Lord. || 4 || 1 || WADAHANS, FOURTH MEHL: My Lord God is so beautiful, but I do not know His value. Abandoning my Lord God, I am entangled in duality. || 1 || How can I meet with my Husband? I don't know. She who pleases her Husband Lord is a happy soul-bride. She meets with her Husband Lord - she is so wise. || 1 || Pause || I am filled with faults; how can I find my Husband Lord? You have many loves, but I am not even in Your thoughts, O my Husband Lord. || 2 || She who ravishes and enjoys her Husband Lord is the good soul-bride. I don't have these virtues; what can I, the discarded bride, do? || 3 || The soul-bride continually enjoys her Husband Lord forever. I have no good karma; will He ever hold me close in His embrace? || 4 || You, O Husband Lord, are worthy, while I am unworthy. I am worthless; please forgive Nanak, the meek one. || 5 || 2 ||
WADAHANS, FOURTH MEHL, SECOND HOUSE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Within my mind there is such a great yearning; how will I attain the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan? I go and ask my True Guru; with the Guru's advice, I shall teach my foolish mind. The deluded mind is instructed in the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and meditates forever on the Lord, Har, Har. O Nanak, one whom my Beloved blesses with His Glance of Grace, focuses his consciousness on the Lord's Feet. || 1 || I dress myself in all sorts of robes for the sake of my Husband, so that my True Lord God will be pleased. But my Beloved Husband Lord does not even cast a glance in my direction; how can I be consoled? For His sake, I adorn myself with adornments, but my Husband is imbued with another. O Nanak, blessed, blessed, blessed is that soul-bride, who enjoys her True, Sublime Husband Lord. || 2 || I go and ask the blessed, happy soul-bride, "How did you attain Him - your Husband Lord, my God?" She answers, "My True Husband blessed me with His Glance of Grace; I abandoned the distinction between mine and yours. Dedicate everything - mind, body and soul to the Lord God; this is the way to meet Him, O sister." If her God gazes upon her with favor, O Nanak, her light merges into the Light. || 311 I dedicate my mind and body to the one who brings me a message from my Lord God. I wave the fan over him every day, serve him and carry water for him.
