In Pauries 8-11 Guru Ji describes the rewards of Listening God’s Name. Now Guru Ji is telling us about the person who obeys the Lord. In Pauri 12 Dhan Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Sache Patshah is describing how indescribable is the condition of such a person. In later three pauries, Guru Ji describes the rewards such a person is capable of having.
