Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Gurmukh is the happy and pure soul-bride forever. She keeps her Husband Lord enshrined within her heart.
Her speech is sweet, and her way of life is humble. She enjoys the Bed of her Husband Lord.
The happy soul-bride is noble — she has infinite love for the Guru.
The contrast to the unwanted bride: the sohagan (happy, accepted, married soul-bride) who has found the genuine connection. Her qualities are specific:
- meethe bol (sweet speech) — words that come from a settled heart
- neevaanee chaal (humble way of life) — the posture of someone who has nothing to prove
- love for the Guru (Guru preet apaar) — infinite, boundless
These are not prerequisites she had to achieve before the Husband came. They are the fruits of the genuine connection.
What qualities come out of you naturally when you're genuinely happy and at peace — not when you're trying to be good, but when you're truly okay? What are those qualities?
