Topic Preview:
Guru Sahib has pointed out to us that the resources that the person has, by virtue of which she or he is able to give plenty in charity, have come to the person because of the blessing of ‘The Sat’. Guru Sahib want his disciples to remain focused on this ‘One’ – ‘The Sat’. Taken in isolation, this Tuk is understood as what the words mean, but in the context of total preaching of Sikhi questions arise. Sikh religion is a life-affirming religion; it is not a life negating religion. Sikh religion does not ask its followers to run away from what all the life has to offer, which negates the life itself, but asks its followers to live a full life of the householder and earn the lively hood to support the family through Kirt (honest work), which affirms the life itself. This demands application of mind to activities other than ‘The Sat’ alone.
