Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 17, 3rd sabad describe the connection of one as a humble servant to the creator. Humble servant is obedient, worshipper, always longing, pure in living, sees creator to be by side always, gets joy from understanding. The creator sustains such humble servant, keeps one’s honor.
Guru ji conclude that one is humble servant from creator’s benevolence and such one is always remembering with every breath. | Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
