Salok (Core theme of eight sabads/hymns in the Astpadi) ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਚਾਲੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਭਜਨ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਸਗਲੀ ਛਾਰੁ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਮਾਵਨਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹੁ ਧਨੁ ਸਾਰੁ ॥੧॥ Sāth na cẖālai bin bẖajan bikẖi▫ā saglī cẖẖār. Har har nām kamāvanā Nānak ih ḏẖan sār. ||1|| Nothing goes with one except contemplation, all wealth turns to ashes.

Gur parsāḏ Nānak ik jāṯā. ||8||19|| Mind and body imbued with only one creator. With creator’s blessing, Nanak recognizes only one. 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, 8th and final sabad state the one creator to contemplate upon, to understand, praise and sing virtues of. The one creator everywhere and in all, remedying our shortcomings and ill deeds, so creator of many constellations Guru ji conclude to recognize only one, imbued with one, and believe to be so blessed in knowing just the one creator. | Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
