the marriage home

ਸਭਨਾ ਸਾਹੁਰੈ ਵੰਞਣਾ ਸਭਿ ਮੁਕਲਾਵਣਹਾਰ ॥ 

Everyone shall go to their Husband Lord. Everyone shall be given their ceremonial send-off after their marriage.

ਨਾਨਕ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਣੀ ਜਿਨ ਸਹ ਨਾਲਿ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥੪॥੨੩॥੯੩॥ 

O Nanak, blessed are the happy soul-brides, who are in love with their Husband Lord. ||4||23||93||

Everyone takes this as such a sad shabad. But if you think about the analogy for even a second, that meaning doesn’t make sense. It’s a happy meaning.

The parental home is temporary. It is also seen through rose-tinted glasses, as well as the innocence and lack of consciousness of growing up; there’s much that you miss.

The marriage home, on the other hand, you go to as a fully developed adult. Whatever it is, it is your experience. You see it for all that it is. You have the eyes to see, now. And so it is a richer and greater experience.
