Nām bisār Nānak pacẖẖuṯānā. ||5|| One who gave, the foolish does not recognize. Nanak forgetting the understanding, begets regret.
Quote: ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that all becomes ashes and the only effort that sustains is contemplation of the creator. Also only wealth worth making is creator’s understanding.
Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 19, 5th sabad state that worldly possessions, wealth, attachments with family and friends, fame and high life do not have ever lasting accompaniment. What sustains always is the linking to the creator through understanding and more of it.
Guru ji conclude that in spite that all needs to be recognized as coming from one creator, we continuously regret not understanding. | Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
