She may wear good clothes, but the bride is ugly and rude; her mind is false and impure.

89 : 2982
She does not walk in harmony with the Will of her Husband Lord. Instead, she foolishly gives Him orders.

89 : 2983
But she who walks in harmony with the Guru's Will, shall be spared all pain and suffering.

89 : 2984
That destiny which was pre-ordained by the Creator cannot be erased.

Third Mehl:

89 : 2989
Attachment to Maya is an ocean of darkness; neither this shore nor the one beyond can be seen.

89 : 2990
The ignorant, self-willed manmukhs suffer in terrible pain; they forget the Lord's Name and drown.

89 : 2991
They arise in the morning and perform all sorts of rituals, but they are caught in the love of duality.

89 : 2992
Those who serve the True Guru cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

89 : 2993
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs keep the True Name enshrined in their hearts; they are absorbed into the True One. ||2||

Pauree:

89 : 2995
The Lord pervades and permeates the water, the land and the sky; there is no other at all.

89 : 2996
