1He is inside all, and outside of all; He is untouched by love or hate.

2Slave Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Lord of the Universe; the Beloved Lord is the Support of the mind. ||3||

3I searched and searched, and found the immovable, unchanging home of the Lord.

4I have seen that everything is transitory and perishable, and so I have linked my consciousness to the Lotus Feet of the Lord.

5God is eternal and unchanging, and I am just His hand-maiden; He does not die, or come and go in reincarnation.

6He is overflowing with Dharmic faith, wealth and success; He fulfills the desires of the mind.

7The Vedas and the Simritees sing the Praises of the Creator, while the Siddhas, seekers and silent sages meditate on Him.

8Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of his Lord and Master, the treasure of mercy; by great good fortune, he sings the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||1||11||

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Vaar Of Soohee, With Shaloks Of The Third Mehla:

11Shalok, Third Mehla:

12In her red robes, the discarded bride goes out, seeking enjoyment with another's husband.

13She leaves the husband of her own home, enticed by her love of duality.

14She finds it sweet, and eats it up; her excessive sensuality only makes her disease worse.

15She forsakes the Lord, her sublime Husband, and then later, she suffers the pain of separation from Him.

16But she who becomes Gurmukh, turns away from corruption and adorns herself, attuned to the Love of the Lord.

17She enjoys her celestial Husband Lord, and enshrines the Lord's Name within her heart.

18She is humble and obedient; she is His virtuous bride forever; the Creator unites her with Himself.

19O Nanak, she who has obtained the True Lord as her husband, is a happy soul-bride forever. ||1||

20Third Mehla:

21O meek, red-robed bride, keep your Husband Lord always in your thoughts.

22O Nanak, your life shall be embellished, and your generations shall be saved along with you. ||2||

23Pauree:

24He Himself established His throne, in the Akaashic ethers and the nether worlds.

25By the Hukam of His Command, He created the earth, the true home of Dharma.

26He Himself created and destroys; He is the True Lord, merciful to the meek.

27You give sustenance to all; how wonderful and unique is the Hukam of Your Command!

28You Yourself are permeating and pervading; You Yourself are the Cherisher. ||1||

29Shalok, Third Mehla:

30The red-robed woman becomes a happy soul-bride, only when she accepts the True Name.

31Become pleasing to your True Guru, and you shall be totally beautified; otherwise, there is no place of rest.

32So decorate yourself with the decorations that will never stain, and love the Lord day and night.

33O Nanak, what is the character of the happy soul-bride? Within her, is Truth; her face is bright and radiant, and she is absorbed in her Lord and Master. ||1||

34Third Mehla:

35O people: I am in red, dressed in a red robe.

36But my Husband Lord is not obtained by any robes; I have tried and tried, and given up wearing robes.

37O Nanak, they alone obtain their Husband Lord, who listen to the Guru's Teachings.

38Whatever pleases Him, happens. In this way, the Husband Lord is met. ||2||
