Those who serve are content. They meditate on the Truest of

the True. They do not place their feet in sin, but do good deeds
and live righteously in Dharma. They burn away the bonds of
the world, and eat a simple diet of grain and water. You are the
Great Forgiver; You give continually, more and more each
day. By His greatness, the Great Lord is obtained. ||7||

In this pauri (stanza) Guru Sahib is describing the conduct of a

true Sikh (seeker) who has surrendered himself in the shelter of
Satguru and is meditating over the Ram Naam (Holy Word). He

patience and satisfaction and does not loses believe in his Guru
even in the period of adversities. He accepts what is showered
upon him by the grace of Almighty and remains satisfied in that

In this line, the conduct and living style of devotee of God - a

very important aspect of spirituality has been stresses upon.
The devotee of Lord remains in the will of his Guru and
surrenders his mind to Him. He tried to avoid committing sinful
acts so that he does not gets ashamed in the court of Lord. The
word Sukrit is Guruvani has been used to mean earning by
rightful means and pious acts and also for practise of Holy Word
(Satnam). Wealth earned by corruption, cheating, unlawful
means is not acceptable in the kingdom of Satguru and one has
to pay for it. If you have two pieces of bread (Roti) with you but
need only one then you should share it with the people (Sadh
Sangat). God is pleased by your act. Guru Arjun Dev says:

Those actions you perform, day and night, are recorded upon
your forehead. And the One, from whom you hide these actions
- He sees them, and is always with you. The Creator Lord is with
you; He sees you, so why commit sins? So perform good deeds,
and chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord; you shall never
have to go to hell.

O Saints, salvation comes from the Lord's Name. While standing

up and sitting down, meditate on the Lord's Name. Night and
day, do good deeds. The way of the Saints is the ladder of
righteous living, found only by great good fortune. The sins of
millions of incarnations are washed away, by focusing your
consciousness on the Lord's feet.

In this world, the best occupation is to sing the Praises of the

Naam, O my soul. Singing the Praises of the Lord, the Lord is
enshrined in the mind. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is
immaculate and pure, O my soul. Chanting the Name of the
Lord, Har, Har, one is saved. All sins and errors are erased, O
my soul; with the Naam, the Gurmukh washes off this filth.
