The soul-bride has met her Husband Lord; God Himself has consummated this union.

439 : 4185

The self-willed, ignorant and disgraceful manmukh wastes her life in vain, and in the end, she comes to grief.

439 : 4192
But when she serves her True Guru, she obtains peace, and then she meets her Husband Lord, face to face.

439 : 4193
Beholding her Husband Lord, she blossoms forth; her heart is delighted, and she is beautified by the True Word of the Shabad.

439 : 4194
O Nanak, without the Name, the soul-bride wanders around, deluded by doubt. Meeting her Beloved, she obtains peace. ||2||
