ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state the infiniteness of the creator and enormous value in of knowing so for salvation. Guru ji find the company and the virtues of the pious as being with the likeness of creator.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 7, 2nd stanza describe further influences and characterizations that are realized in the company of the pious. One happily reaches beyond, controls temptations and falling into traps, pleasant wisdom is spoken, one in humility becomes like dirt and so becomes peacefully tranquil.


Guru ji conclude in this stanza that instead of attachments to worldly one becomes one with the creator in happiness.
Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.

Sat Sri Akal.
