Pure and pure and so sublimely pure. Nanak with love contemplates the understanding.
ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that mild mannered humble and selfless live in comfort while the ego centric have a life rotten by ego.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 12, 8th and final sabad describe the expanse and benevolence of the creator while stating how scantily it is so understood. Creator is the lord, complete is the creation, lovingly sublime, beauty to behold and without comparison, the virtues so heard and spoken so pure.


Guru ji conclude for recognizing the purity sustained and the understanding to behold.
Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.

Sat Sri Akal.
