All such results so embed in such a person’s demeanor. Nanak, such as the ones that speak understanding and mindfully listens.
ESSENCE: In the salok of final Astpadi 24th, Guru ji state the completeness of creator. So finding the complete one in contemplation, now to sing virtues of such complete one.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 24, 6th sabad summarize in last duplet that the words of understanding of the one creator create all so many benefits.


Guru ji state such to be eternal comfort, peacefulness, real wealth, one so submerged in all as to be the holiest of baths, a blossoming heart, attachment and detachment co-exist. One so enchanting, intelligent, knowing of the essence of creation thus treating all as but one.
Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.

Sat Sri Akal.
