689 : 1147
I shall go and ask the True Guru, and meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

689 : 1148
I meditate on the True Name, chant the True Name, and as Gurmukh, I realize the True Name.

689 : 1149
Night and day, I chant the Name of the merciful, immaculate Lord, the Master of the poor.

689 : 1150
The Primal Lord has ordained the tasks to be done; self-conceit is overcome, and the mind is subdued.

689 : 1151
O Nanak, the Naam is the sweetest essence; through the Naam, thirst and desire are stilled. ||5||2||

689 : 1152
Dhanaasaree, Chhant, First Mehl:

689 : 1153
Your Husband Lord is with you, O deluded soul-bride, but you do are not aware of Him.

689 : 1154
Your destiny is written on your forehead, according to your past actions.

689 : 1155
This inscription of past deeds cannot be erased; what do I know about what will happen?

689 : 1156
You have not adopted a virtuous lifestyle, and you are not attuned to the Lord's Love; you sit there, crying over your past misdeeds.

689 : 1157
Wealth and youth are like the shade of the bitter swallow-wort plant; you are growing old, and your days are coming to their end.

689 : 1158
O Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you shall end up as a discarded, divorced bride; your own falsehood shall separate you from the Lord. ||1||

689 : 1159
You have drowned, and your house is ruined; walk in the Way of the Guru's Will.

689 : 1160
Meditate on the True Name, and you shall find peace in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

689 : 1161
Meditate on the Lord's Name, and you shall find peace; your stay in this world shall last only four days.

689 : 1162
Sit in the home of your own being, and you shall find Truth; night and day, be with your Beloved.

689 : 1163
Without loving devotion, you cannot dwell in your own home - listen, everyone!

689 : 1164
O Nanak, she is happy, and she obtains her Husband Lord, if she is attuned to the True Name. ||2||

Continued...

689 : 1165
If the soul-bride is pleasing to her Husband Lord, then the Husband Lord will love His bride.

689 : 1166
Imbued with the love of her Beloved, she contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

689 : 1167
She contemplates the Guru's Shabads, and her Husband Lord loves her; in deep humility, she worships Him in loving devotion.

689 : 1168
She burns away her emotional attachment to Maya, and in love, she loves her Beloved.

689 : 1169
She is imbued and drenched with the Love of the True Lord; she has become beautiful, by conquering her mind.

689 : 1170
O Nanak, the happy soul-bride abides in Truth; she loves to love her Husband Lord. ||3||

689 : 1171
The soul-bride looks so beautiful in the home of her Husband Lord, if she is pleasing to Him.

689 : 1172
It is of no use at all to speak false words.

689 : 1173
If she speaks false, it is of no use to her, and she does not see her Husband Lord with her eyes.

689 : 1174
Worthless, forgotten and abandoned by her Husband Lord, she passes her life-night without her Lord and Master.

689 : 1175
Such a wife does not believe in the Word of the Guru's Shabad; she is caught in the net of the world, and does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

689 : 1176
O Nanak, if she understands her own self, then, as Gurmukh, she merges in celestial peace. ||4||

689 : 1177
Blessed is that soul-bride, who knows her Husband Lord.

689 : 1178
Without the Naam, she is false, and her actions are false as well.

689 : 1179
Devotional worship of the Lord is beautiful; the True Lord loves it. So immerse yourself in loving devotional worship of God.

689 : 1180
My Husband Lord is playful and innocent; imbued with His Love, I enjoy Him.

689 : 1181
She blossoms forth through the Word of the Guru's Shabad; she ravishes her Husband Lord, and obtains the most noble reward.

689 : 1182
O Nanak, in Truth, she obtains glory; in her Husband's home, the soul-bride looks beautiful. ||5||3||
