Getting ready to meet the One you love is just answering love with love.
The Arc
Guru Amar Das sings in the soul-bride voice: the Creator is the beloved, and the soul adorns itself only as that love inspires. The rahau deepens the union — when the moment is right, soul and One come close, and body and mind belong wholly to the True One. From that intimacy flows an ethic: if the One pervades all, how could anyone praise some and slander others. The soul is drawn by love, a quiet inner music rising, and the shabad closes on pure grace — the One meets whoever the One draws near.
Key Vocabulary
kaaman / kant — bride and Husband-Lord; the soul as dignified, active lover of the One.

Translation Notes
The soul-bride / divine-Husband metaphor is rendered tenderly and woman-honoringly; the bride is the active, dignified lover of the One. Karay bhog (the union) is rendered gently as closeness and belonging, not physical imagery, honoring the metaphor's tenderness for a young audience.
