ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state the five mental attributes that affect living. These being lust, anger, greed, attachment and egotism. Guru ji pray to be blessed so these are banished.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 6, 3rd stanza cite more examples of what we are gifted with by the creator. These include the healthy body, protection from exposition of shortcomings and weaknesses and the position in society with invaluable body.

Guru ji suggest that for all the gifts one should attune to the creator, speak virtues of the creator and humbly remember such creator always in devotion
