WADAHANS, FOURTH MEHL, GHOREES ~ THE WEDDING PROCESSION:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:
This body-horse was created by the Lord. Blessed is human life, which is obtained by virtuous actions.
Human life is obtained only by the most virtuous actions; this body is radiant and golden. The
Gurmukh is imbued with the deep crimson color of the poppy; he is imbued with the new color of the
Lord's Name, Har, Har, Har. This body is so very beautiful; it chants the Name of the Lord, and it is
adorned with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. By great good fortune, the body is obtained; the Naam,
the Name of the Lord, is its companion; O servant Nanak, the Lord has created it. || 1 || I place the
saddle on the body-horse, the saddle of realization of the Good Lord. Riding this horse, I cross over the
treacherous world-ocean. The treacherous world-ocean is rocked by countless waves, but the Gurmukh
is carried across. Embarking upon the boat of the Lord, the very fortunate ones cross over; the Guru,
the Boatman, carries them across, through the Word of the Shabad. Night and day, imbued with the
Lord's Love, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the Lord's lover loves the Lord. Servant Nanak
has attained the state of Nirvaanaa, the state of ultimate goodness, the state of the Lord. || 2 || The
Guru has implanted spiritual wisdom within me, as a bridle in my mouth. He has applied the whip of
the Lord's Love to my body. Applying the whip of the Lord's Love to the body, the Gurmukh
conquers the mind, and wins the battle of life. He trains his untrained mind with the Word of the
Shabad, and drinks in the rejuvenating essence of the Lord's Nectar. Listen with your ears to the Word,
spoken by the Guru, and attune your body-horse to the Lord's Love. Servant Nanak has crossed over
on the path, the treacherous path. || 3 || The body-horse was created by the Lord. Blessed, blessed is
that body-horse which meditates on the Lord God. Blessed and acclaimed is that body-horse which
meditates on the Lord God; it is obtained by the merits of past actions. Riding the body-horse, one
crosses over the treacherous world-ocean; the Gurmukh meets the Lord, the embodiment of supreme
bliss. The Lord, Har, Har, has perfectly arranged this wedding; the Saints have come together as a
wedding party. Servant Nanak has obtained the Lord as his Spouse; joining together, the Saints sing
the songs of joy and congratulations. || 4 || 1 || 5 ||
