786 : 2218
Pauree:

786 : 2219
By His Command, He created the creation, the world with its many species of beings.

786 : 2220
I do not know how great Your Command is, O Unseen and Infinite True Lord.

786 : 2221
You join some with Yourself; they reflect on the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

786 : 2222
Those who are imbued with the True Lord are immaculate and pure; they conquer egotism and corruption.

786 : 2223
He alone is united with You, whom You unite with Yourself; he alone is true. ||2||

786 : 2224
Shalok, Third Mehl:

786 : 2225
O red-robed woman, the whole world is red, engrossed in evil-mindedness and the love of duality.

786 : 2226
In an instant, this falsehood totally vanishes; like the shade of a tree, it is gone.

786 : 2227
The Gurmukh is the deepest crimson of crimson, dyed in the permanent color of the Lord's Love.

786 : 2228
She turns away from Maya, and enters the celestial home of the Lord; the Ambrosial Name of the Lord dwells within her mind.

786 : 2229
O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to my Guru; meeting Him, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||

786 : 2230
Third Mehl:

786 : 2231
The red color is vain and useless; it cannot help you obtain your Husband Lord.

786 : 2232
This color does not take long to fade; she who loves duality, ends up a widow.

786 : 2233
She who loves to wear her red dress is foolish and double-minded.

786 : 2234
So make the True Word of the Shabad your red dress, and let the Fear of God, and the Love of God, be your ornaments and decorations.

786 : 2235
O Nanak, she is a happy soul-bride forever, who walks in harmony with the Will of the True Guru. ||2||

786 : 2236
Pauree:

786 : 2237
He Himself created Himself, and He Himself evaluates Himself.

786 : 2238
His limits cannot be known; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is understood.

786 : 2239
In the darkness of attachment to Maya, the world wanders in duality.

Continued...

786 : 2240
The self-willed manmukhs find no place of rest; they continue coming and going.

786 : 2241
Whatever pleases Him, that alone happens. All walk according to His Will. ||3||

786 : 2242
Shalok, Third Mehl:

786 : 2243
The red-robed bride is vicious; she forsakes God, and cultivates love for another man.

786 : 2244
She has neither modesty or self-discipline; the self-willed manmukh constantly tells lies, and is ruined by the bad karma of evil deeds.

786 : 2245
She who has such pre-ordained destiny, obtains the True Guru has her Husband.

786 : 2246
She discards all her red dresses, and wears the ornaments of mercy and forgiveness around her neck.

786 : 2247
In this world and the next, she receives great honor, and the whole world worships her.

786 : 2248
She who is enjoyed by her Creator Lord stands out, and does not blend in with the crowd.

786 : 2249
O Nanak, the Gurmukh is the happy soul-bride forever; she has the Imperishable Lord God as her Husband. ||1||

786 : 2250
First Mehl:

786 : 2251
The red color is like a dream in the night; it is like a necklace without a string.

786 : 2252
The Gurmukhs take on the permanent color, contemplating the Lord God.

786 : 2253
O Nanak, with the supreme sublime essence of the Lord's Love, all sins and evil deeds are turned to ashes. ||2||

786 : 2254
Pauree:

786 : 2255
He Himself created this world, and staged this wondrous play.

786 : 2256
Into the body of the five elements, He infused attachment, falsehood and self-conceit.

786 : 2257
The ignorant, self-willed manmukh comes and goes, wandering in reincarnation.

786 : 2258
He Himself teaches some to become Gurmukh, through the spiritual wisdom of the Lord.

786 : 2259
He blesses them with the treasure of devotional worship, and the wealth of the Lord's Name. ||4||

786 : 2260
Shalok, Third Mehl:

786 : 2261
O red-robed woman, discard your red dress, and then, you shall come to love your Husband Lord.
