रागु सूही असटपदीआ महला ४ घरु २
जे गुरु झिड़के त मीठा लागै जे बखसे त गुर वडिआई ॥२५॥
गुरमुखि बोलहि सो थाइ पाए मनमुखि किछु थाइ न पाई ॥२६॥
पाला ककरु वरफ वरसै गुरसिखु गुर देखण जाई ॥२७॥
सभु दिनसु रैणि देखउ गुरु अपुना विचि अखी गुर पैर धराई ॥२८॥
अनेक उपाव करी गुर कारणि गुर भावै सो थाइ पाई ॥२९॥
रैणि दिनसु गुर चरण अराधी दइआ करहु मेरे साई ॥३०॥
नानक का जीउ पिंडु गुरू है गुर मिलि त्रिपति अघाई ॥३१॥
नानक का प्रभु पूरि रहिओ है जत कत तत गोसाई ॥३२॥१॥

Summary

For a seeker Guru is everything. Seeker wants to hear from his Guru as he knows only Guru can rectify his actions to attain what he has been seeking. Guru will never hurt ‘His Sikh’ but if He rebukes it then there is well being of Sikh. That’s why Guruji say, even if The Guru admonishes, He seems very sweet. Mistakes will happen, after all seeker is human and hence fallible. Also, no seeker can gauge the consequence and seriousness of his mistake. The world may never forgive him for his actions but Guru can. If ‘Samarth Guru – All Capable Guru’ forgives then Guruji says, it is greatness of Guru.

Guru showers such a Grace on ‘Gurmukh – Sikh attuned to Guru’ that what ever he speaks carries value. His words are backed by Guru. But if ‘Manmukh – Individual turned away from Guru’ speaks something is not accepted. ‘Manmukh’s’ words and actions are driven by selfishness, so how could his words or actions can be accepted at ‘Guru’s Door’. And if something is not accepted at ‘Guru’s Door’, it cannot be accepted anywhere.
How a seeker can miss an opportunity to see ‘Such Guru’, ‘The Guru’, ‘Who’ forgives his mistake, back his words and rectifies his action for his own well being? Seeker will go out in cold, the frost or even in the snow to see his Guru.

Seeker under Guru’s Grace tends to see his Guru day and night. This signifies a relationship, a bond between ‘Seeker and Guru’. World call it ‘Love’. But actually it is well beyond ‘The Love’ mortals like us comprehend. It is such a bond that seeker just thinks about Guru. Every moment his mind is occupied by ‘Thoughts of Guru’.
The world does effort to please others. They want to get accepted in world. But Guruji says a seeker puts efforts for sake of the Guru. Guruji further tell the reason for same as only that which pleases the Guru is accepted and approved. Seeker is attuned to Guru’s Feet night and day in adoration. He seeks mercy from his Lord and Master. Guruji is telling us that body and soul of seeker is satisfied when the Guru is met. Guru holds the keys to all locks, answers to all question and meeting Him all the questions are answered and all locks are opened. Doubts evaporate. Nothing is left which can leave an individual dis-satisfied. Such an individual feels satiated.

At the end Guruji says that ‘Nanak’s God’ is all pervading and permeating. There is no place in Universe where ‘HIS’ presence cannot be found.
In summary, Guruji is asking us to spend every moment in remembrance of Guru, irrespective of circumstances and what Guru offers us. Guru is great what ever He does is for our own benefit once we place our faith on Him.
