1. Through the Grace of the Lord:
The Lord is Himself the Nectar, and he is also the Divine Ambrosia. He Himself alone can make one intoxicated with it. He alone receives it to whom the Lord gives it.
He Himself is the Nectar; He Himself is the Beloved. He Himself is the Ambrosia; He Himself sings its praise. Oh Nanak, He showers Ambrosia, and the devotee's thirst is quenched.
The Beloved Himself is the Ambrosial Nectar; He Himself is the juice of it. The Beloved Himself praises Himself; servant Nanak is satisfied, with the sublime essence of the Lord.
Guru Ram Das –
Adi Granth, Sorath M5, p. 605
He whom the Lord of our destiny blesses, He alone knows the Divine Ambrosia.
Says Nanak, one who has such preordained destiny inscribed upon his forehead, meets with the Guru, and his diseases are cured.
Guru Arjan Dev –
Adi Granth, Sorath M5, p. 616
He alone gets the Divine Ambrosia to whom the Lord is kind. The Lord is, however, uninfluenced, and gives it to whomsoever He pleases.
When the Lord showers His Grace; one is blessed with the Divine Ambrosia; and then oh Nanak, one sings the praises of the Lord, and drinks the Divine Ambrosia.
But if he is blessed with the Lord’s kind Mercy, then he obtains the subtle essence of the Lord. Oh Nanak! Absorbed in this subtle essence of the Lord, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
Guru Ram Das –
Adi Granth, Suhi M4, p. 733
Oh Lord, bless me with Your mercy, that I may sing the praises of Your Naam, and find the Divine Ambrosia in the heart.
But if the Lord shows His Mercy, then one comes to sing His Glorious Praises; deep within the nucleus of his own self, he finds the sublime essence of the Lord’s elixir.
Guru Ram Das –
Adi Granth, Sorath M4, p. 607
When the Lord so wills it, you will receive the Divine Ambrosia, and on your tongue will be the beauteous Word. You will dwell on the Lord's Name, and be ever in peace, and be attuned to the Naam.
You shall obtain the everlasting essence of the Lord when it pleases the Lord; your tongue shall be adorned with the Word of His Shabd. Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, a lasting peace is obtained; so remain lovingly focused on the Naam.
Guru Amar Das –
Adi Granth, Gauri M3, Chhant, p. 246
