Excerpt: "Guru Ji is of the firm belief that gyan should be acquired as a bounden duty, something obligatory –dharm. Without this dharm there can be no dhean – focus of attention on naam semran. Without naam semran, here referred to as sac, pursuit of maya guides one’s way of life – sac ben saakhi. This leads to loss of the mool – moolo na baaki. The mool is the capital that one is born with and consists of spiritual values determined by actions in our past lives.

 

 Guru Ji expresses it thus:

Thus it is essential to acquire gyan through an understanding of Gurbani and when we resort to naam semran as true devotees, the Lord will bless us with further understanding from within. This can happen only if the devotee seeks the saran of the Guru and surrenders mind, body and wealth in the service of the Guru by implicitly following the gur mat. However, there have been some great souls like Guru Nanak Dev who came into this world equipped with this knowledge. But such great souls have been very rare."
