Quote: ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that those who recognize the true one, will know it to be the eternal creator. Company of such people saves one from ills and so sing the virtues of the creator .
Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 18, 4th sabad describe the effects of realizing creator’s virtues. Vision purified, purity in living, access to creator’s wisdom, mind and soul find peace and tranquility in listening, the complete creator understanding leads one to ways of being pious.
Guru ji conclude that the so invaluable creator is only enjoined by the so liked. | Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
