ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state the eternal truth prevailing and so prevailing forever from the past to the future.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 17, 7th sabad describe the state of so linked and aware of the creator twenty four hours a day and being so blessed by the creator in so doing. Jubilation of soul, imbued with the creator, trusting in the goings on as of the creator, recognizing that the creator is indescribable and virtues so many to be defineable.


Guru ji conclude that living in twenty four hours awareness is the way of the humble and complete people.
