The Wife Who Knows Her Husband Is Always with Her Is Beautiful
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The wife who knows that her Husband Lord is always with her is very beautiful.
The soul-bride is called to the Mansion of His Presence. Her Husband Lord ravishes her with love.
The happy soul-bride is true and good. She is fascinated by the Glories of her Husband Lord.
This one says the happiest soul is the one who knows the Beloved is always with her.
Guru Nanak pictures the soul as a bride and the One as her Husband. Saa dhan kharee suhaavanee jin pir jaataa sang: the bride who knows her Husband is always with her is truly beautiful. The key word is "always." Not now and then. Not only in special moments of prayer. Always.
Think of a child on the first day at a new school who knows a parent will be waiting at the gate. That quiet sureness changes the whole day. The soul who carries this "always" inside is called into the palace, mahlee mahal bulaa-ee-ai, and enjoys her Husband's love.
That is the steady trust of a real devotee. It's not that the One was near in some moments and gone in others. The One is always here. Knowing this is what makes the soul-bride most beautiful. Pir mohee gun sang: she is charmed by His goodness.
What would it feel like to carry an unshakeable sense that the divine is always with you — not as a belief but as a felt knowing? What would change?
