6 Summary of 4 Laavan ANAND KARAJ AnMd kwrj In the first round, I have obtained instructions to be followed in marital life. By doing the right things in life and reciting Vaheguru s name, all sins of the past will be washed away. Vaheguru s name brings happiness and is soothing to the mind. Now, my marriage ceremony has begun. In the second round, with Vaheguru s grace, I have now met the True Guru. With the fear of Vaheguru in my mind, worldly fears are gone, ego has been removed from the mind and His praises are being sung. He is everywhere, within us and outside. His praises are sung and heard by His devotees. In this second round, divine music is heard. In the third round, the mind is filled with praises of Vaheguru. In the company of saints, by singing and praising I have found Vaheguru. Now, love of Vaheguru has been awakened in my heart. In the fourth round, the mind understands the knowledge of Vaheguru and He is realized within. He is so wonderful and sweet and I have become pleasing to Him. He fills my thoughts day and night. Now I have obtained what I really desired and that is Vaheguru.
