Quote:

ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state the eternal truth prevailing and so prevailing forever from the past to the future.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 17, 2nd sabad describe the mind accepting of the one creator. In understanding of one creator is found the does and the director, enlightenment of mind happens, fear is gone as one sees self being born from one and immersing back into one.

Guru ji conclude that one so finds when one seeks and becomes one with the creator through such an understanding.
