 In part 5 of the Sikh Wedding Prayers Explained, we learn about the fourth Laav. The couple become One, not only with each other but with The Timeless Creator.

At this stage, it is the aim for Sikhs to awaken through intuitive ease by the grace of the Guru.

Throughout these 4 stages, known as Laavan Di Baani, the to-be husband & wife are getting married, not just to each other, but to the One.

If you know a Sikh couple that is planning to get married, please point them in the direction of this series so that they can truly understand the meaning of the Anand Karaj and the Laavan that they are partaking in:

This video has some real-life examples of how we can live a life without having hatred for anyone or anything.

ਘਨਹਰ ਬੂੰਦ ਬਸੁਅ ਰੋਮਾਵਲਿ ਕੁਸਮ ਬਸੰਤ ਗਨੰਤ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
 ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਣੀਆਂ, ਧਰਤੀ ਦੀ ਬਨਸਪਤੀ, ਬਸੰਤ ਦੇ ਫੁੱਲ—ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਗਿਣਤੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੀ । 
The raindrops of the clouds, the plants of the earth, and the flowers of the spring cannot be counted.

ਰਵਿ ਸਸਿ ਕਿਰਣਿ ਉਦਰੁ ਸਾਗਰ ਕੋ ਗੰਗ ਤਰੰਗ ਅੰਤੁ ਕੋ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
ਸੂਰਜ ਤੇ ਚੰਦ੍ਰਮਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਰਨਾਂ, ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦਾ ਪੇਟ ਗੰਗਾ ਦੀਆਂ ਠਿਲ੍ਹਾਂ—ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਅੰਤ ਕੌਣ ਪਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ?
Who can know the limits of the rays of the sun and the moon, the waves of the ocean and the Ganges?

ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਧਿਆਨ ਗਿਆਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਕਬਿ ਜਨ ਭਲ੍ਯ ਉਨਹ ਜੋੁ ਗਾਵੈ ॥
ਸ਼ਿਵ ਜੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਪੂਰਨ ਸਮਾਧੀ ਲਾ ਕੇ ਅਤੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਦੁਆਰਾ, ਹੇ ਭਲ੍ਯ ਕਵੀ! ਉਹਨਾਂ ਉਪਰ-ਦੱਸੇ ਪਦਾਰਥਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਭਾਵੇਂ ਕੋਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਵਰਣਨ ਕਰ ਸਕੇ, 
With Shiva's meditation and the spiritual wisdom of the True Guru, says BHALL the poet, these may be counted.

ਭਲੇ ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਗੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਉਪਮਾ ਤੋਹਿ ਬਨਿ ਆਵੈ ॥੧॥੨੨॥
ਪਰ ਭੱਲਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਕੁਲ ਵਿਚ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਹੋਏ ਹੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਜੀ! ਤੇਰੇ ਗੁਣ ਵਰਣਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦੇ । ਤੇਰੇ ਜਿਹਾ ਤੰੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਹੈਂ ।੧।੨੨।
O Guru Amar Daas, Your Glorious Virtues are so sublime; Your Praises belong only to You. ||1||22||

ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸਤੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਪਿਖਿ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖਹ ॥
 ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ (ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਜੀ) ਦਾ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਪ ਤਪ ਸਤ ਸੰਤੋਖ (ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ) ।
Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, the Gursikh is blessed with chanting and deep meditation, truth and contentment.

ਸਰਣਿ ਪਰਹਿ ਤੇ ਉਬਰਹਿ ਛੋਡਿ ਜਮ ਪੁਰ ਕੀ ਲਿਖਹ ॥
 ਜੋ ਮਨੁੱਖ (ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ) ਸਰਨ ਪੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਜਮ-ਪੁਰੀ ਦੀ ਲਿਖਤ ਨੂੰ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਪਾਰ ਲੰਘ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ ।
Whoever seeks His Sanctuary is saved; his account is cleared in the City of Death.

ਭਗਤਿ ਭਾਇ ਭਰਪੂਰੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਉਚਰੈ ਕਰਤਾਰੈ ॥
(ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਆਪਣੇ) ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ (ਕਰਤਾਰ ਦੀ) ਭਗਤੀ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਸਿਮਰਦਾ ਹੈ;
His heart is totally filled with loving devotion; he chants to the Creator Lord.

ਗੁਰੁ ਗਉਹਰੁ ਦਰੀਆਉ ਪਲਕ ਡੁਬੰਤ੍ਯਹ ਤਾਰੈ ॥
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ (ਅਮਰਦਾਸ) ਗੰਭੀਰ ਹੈ, ਦਰੀਆ-ਦਿਲ ਹੈ, ਡੁੱਬਦੇ ਜੀਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਲ ਵਿਚ ਤਾਰ ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈ ।
The Guru is the river of pearls; in an instant, he carries the drowning ones across.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕੁਲਿ ਨਿੰਮਲੁ ਅਵਤਰਿ੍ਯਉ ਗੁਣ ਕਰਤਾਰੈ ਉਚਰੈ ॥
 (ਗੁਰੂ) ਨਾਨਕ (ਦੇਵ ਜੀ) ਦੀ ਕੁਲ ਵਿਚ (ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਜੀ) ਨਿਰਮਲ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਦੇ ਗੁਣਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਚਾਰਦਾ ਹੈ ।
He was reincarnated into the House of Guru Nanak; He chants the Glorious Praises of the Creator Lord.

ਗੁਰੁ ਅਮਰਦਾਸੁ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ ਸੇਵਿਅਉ ਤਿਨ੍ਹ ਦੁਖੁ ਦਰਿਦ੍ਰੁ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਪਰੈ ॥੩॥੧੭॥
 ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਨੁੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰਦਾਸ ਜੀ ਨੂੰ ਸੇਵਿਆ ਹੈ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਦੱੁਖ ਤੇ ਦਰਿਦ੍ਰ ਦੂਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ ।੩।੧੭।
Those who serve Guru Amar Daas - their pains and poverty are taken away, far away. ||3||17||

Allow stories to be a powerful and impactful mode to teach use every day life lessons. In this instance, Guru Angad Dev Ji perfectly allows us to witness how they remained in the priceless essence of love instead of allowing the ego mind to take over in response to somebody else's frustration and anger. 

In this pauri (stanza), Guru Nanak Dev Ji share their wisdom to such an extent that we lose ourself in the repetitive reciting of praising how priceless the One is. This repetition turns into true remembrance and through that we fall into that priceless love. Imagine Guru Nanak takes your hand and allows you to see how priceless that One is.
