Meanings : In this sawaiyya, Satguru Ji explains us the
characteristics of an ideal person; a Khâlsâ of his
perception. He states that such a person keeps his mind
focused on the memory of the Lord who is radiant in the
whole Universe, and is fully conscious. Such a person does
not worship any other master leaving the Supreme Lord.
He holds total faith on Him and adores his mind with Lords

effulgent qualities. Such a person never fasts, does not
worship graves, memorials and accepts such other worthless
means. He does not believe in pilgrimages and fake
expressions of kindness, charity, penances and restraints
under taken by other religionists. The divine light of Lord’s
loves and knowledge remains kindled in his heart all the
time. Such a person is an ideal Khâlsâ and he alone can
be called a blemishless Khâlsâ.
It is clear that :
(a) A Khâlsâ does not hold faith on anyone except
God,
(b) He adopts love of God as the only means of His
realisation.
(c) He does not keep faith on any memorials,
pilgrimage, giving away illgotten wealth in alms
and charity, does not put his body in strenuous
tests as means of reaching God. He does not
encourage or praise a person even a little who
indulges in such un-natural and worthless acts
which have no relationship with spirituality.
