Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 16, 1st sabad emphasize the need for loving relationship with the creator. Keep such in mind versus people, nothing is beyond and permeates all, creator of seeing, understanding and knowing, supreme merciful and benevolent. Guru ji conclude with association of learned as a cherished state and a desire to be in. | Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
