ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਨੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਾਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਚਉਥੇ ਪਦ ਮਹਿ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਏ ੫॥

With grace that such allows joining in contemplation. Nanak such find salvation in the fourth state (beyond worldly possessions).
ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that the creator has no form, shape or color and is understood by those so happily blessed.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 16, 5th sabad describe how all is associated with and is of the creator. Be it life, world and the universe, the wisdom and the ones listening to such wisdom, all bodies and the sky and below, the constellations and one so listening to all this are saved.


Guru ji conclude that such so blessed finds salvation beyond worldly possessions.
Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
