Thanks for posting the Shabad, it expresses the state of mind where the difference between Him and His creation disappears. many keep arguing on His Nirgun and Sargun Sroop instead of understanding the path.

Please ponder over the following Guru Vakas on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 350, guru Nanak states the whole story of worldly affair we witness or many time participate in it, then the achievement of enlightenment that makes the soul acceptable to the Lord
ਮਾਣਸ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਨਾਮੁ ॥ ਕਰਣੀ ਕੁਤਾ ਦਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਿਹਮਾਨੁ ॥ ਤਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਦਰਗਹ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੪॥੪॥

Māṇas mūraṯ Nānak nām. Karṇī kuṯā ḏar furmān. Gur parsāḏ jāṇai mihmān. Ŧā kicẖẖ ḏargėh pāvai mān. ||4||4||
Nanak says that men are men only in shape and name. In deeds they are dogs; this is the command of the Lord's court. By Guru's grace, if man deems himself a guest in this world, then does he acquire some honour in God's court.
ਨਾਨਕ (ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ-ਵੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਹੀ) ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਲ ਹੈ, ਨਾਮ-ਮਾਤ੍ਰ ਹੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਆਚਰਨਵਿਚ ਮਨੁੱਖ (ਉਹ) ਕੁੱਤਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ (ਮਾਲਕ ਦੇ) ਦਰ ਤੇ (ਰੋਟੀ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਰ) ਹੁਕਮ (ਮੰਨਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ)। ਮਨੁੱਖ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੀ ਹਜ਼ੂਰੀ ਵਿਚ ਤਦੋਂ ਹੀ ਕੁਝ ਇੱਜ਼ਤ-ਮਾਣ ਲੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੇਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਮਿਹਰ ਨਾਲ (ਸੰਸਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ) ਪਰਾਹੁਣਾ ਸਮਝੇ (ਤੇ ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਲ ਇਤਨੀਪਕੜ ਨਾਹ ਰੱਖੇ।੪।੪।

See the powerful metaphors used to grill acts of evil encouraged by some reason of greed and attachment that forces the mind to put all virtues as collaterals to receive a thing that ruins the beauty of human being. We only look like humans, don’t we? Yes we do, but look at our deeds. Are they leveled up to human standard in context of civility, compassion and justice? No, not at all, the facts found in this witnessing drama of greed and attachment, proves that our acts are of animals who are bound to do as guided by their instincts, no surprise, there is no civility, compassion a requirement for being what they are any way but in case of humans, there is a requirement and we lack that. As a dog obeys the master, humans do the same but their masters are greed, attachment and other negative forces that push them to annul all virtues over things that are not helpful in bringing them to the level of humans.
It is through Guru one realizes that in this world, he/she is not permanent but like a guest. That feeling infused by the Guru, elevates the soul to the higher levels, priority of living in Lord’s love, becomes a goal of that person as per Guru Guidance, filth of greed, attachment, lust, anger and ego gets cleaned, subsequently, from animal one turns to be human with all virtues. Lord accepts such devotees.

Remembering this beautiful Shabad and how beautifully pk70 ji has elaborated Guru Ram Das Ji's baani in this thread :

ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਈ ਬੇਲੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਮਾਤਾ ਹਰਿ ਸਖਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
