Union with the Beloved

Liberation is described as the soul's marriage and union with the Divine Beloved.

Sikh poetry often describes liberation as the soul-bride uniting with the Divine Bridegroom. This beautiful imagery conveys the intimacy and joy of the liberated state.

The soul-bride is united with her Lord and Master; she sings the songs of bliss.

Guru Ram Das Ji, Guru Granth Sahib

The bridal imagery expresses the intimacy of divine union.
