SGGS Angg 830.

Raag Bilaaval (Bilawal) M.5.

The inner Path to Union is so tough. He is very exacting, and it depends entirely upon His Dya. It takes years of living in His Hukam, and accepting with love all His Actions – “Hukam rajaaiye chalna.” Despite all that, there is no Union in sight. The jeev cries out “Udinee Udinee Udinee” (I am so sad, dejected, forlorn).
“Kab Ghar aave ri”
(when will You Grace my home and come to me,?)

This Shabad has two rahaos. In the first rahao the jeev isteri pleads for Union and poses a question. When will I ever be united?
In the second rahao, there is fulfillment and she meets her Beloved Lord.

A jeev isteri cries out to the Lord. I yearn for Union. When will You come to my home?

She says O Enticing Lord. I cannot sleep. I have adorned myself with necklaces, gowns, ornaments and made myself up to look beautiful. (You will notice all her adornments are external). I am sad and depressed; when will You Grace my home?

“Mohan neend na aave havey haar kajar bastar abharan kinney; udinee udinee udinee; kab ghar aave ri” (rahao).

She seeks counsel from other jeev isteris who are already Suhagans (united soul brides). I seek the Sanctuary of the happy soul brides; I place my head upon their feet. Please unite me with my Beloved; when will He come to my home?

“Sharan Suhagan Charan sees dhar; Laalan mohe milavho; kab ghar aave ri.”

The Suhagan (Guru) tells her  let me tell you how to meet Him; eradicate all ego and you shall find your Beloved within the home of your own heart; with delight, sing His Praises; meditate upon the Lord, embodiment of all Bliss; as you come with your Guru (Nanak) to the Lord’s Door, then you will say I have found my Beloved.

“Sunho saheri milan baat kaho sagro ahung mitavho tao ghar hi Laalan pavho; tab rass mangal gunn gavho; anand roop dhiaavho; Nanak Duarey aayo; tao mai Laalan paiyo ri.”

As she is blessed with Darshan, she exclaims in delight. The Enticing Lord has shown His Form to me; and now I sleep in peace; my thirst is totally quenched; now I am absorbed in Celestial bliss; how sweet is the Story (Bani) of my Husband Lord; I have found (united with), my Enticing Husband Lord.

“Mohan roop dikhaave; ab mohe neend suhavhe; sabh meri tikha bujhanee; ab mai sahaj samanee; mithi Pirhe Kahanee; Mohan Laalan paiyo ri” (rahao duja).
