Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that those who recognize the true one, will know it to be the eternal creator. Company of such people saves one from ills and so sing the virtues of the creator .
Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 18, 2nd sabad describe the effects of being in service to the creator. Live as though in creator’s abode and so following such direction, humbly keeping creator in the heart, so relinquishes self to the creator and all falls in place. Through such service without expecting rewards the creator is discovered.
Guru ji conclude that creator’s wisdom is received through rewarding grace of the creator.
Sat Sri Akal.
