The
first time round is the time for toil, for work in the world as the
Lord may decree; The Word of the Guru the text which we follow,
confirming our faith and destroying our sin. Be firm in believing and
ponder God's Name, as prescribed by the scriptures of old. Give to the
Guru devout adoration, renouncing all evil and wrong. Blessed is she
who adores the Lord's Name, for its praises bring radiant bliss.
Nanak declares that the first of our rounds marks the start of our
marriage with God. The second time round is the time for our meeting, the
meeting which comes with our only True Lord. Fear is dispelled and our spirits are
cleansed from the filth of our self-centered pride.
The fear we retain is our fear of the Lord as we
sing to his praise and perceive him in all; The Master is present in all
his creation, his being pervading whatever we see. Within and without he is
ever our comrade; come join with his faithful and sing his praise. The mystical music resounds in our hearts as
we follow the second round.
