The Sabad, while depicting the transient nature of the world, conveys that a being devoid of the remembrance of Nam is deceived by the attachment to transient things and relationships. Caught in this deception, they engage in negative deeds and suffer, trapped in the cycle of birth and death. On the other hand, the remembrance of Nam saves the being from these sufferings. However, this gift is only received through the grace of IkOankar (the Divine). Therefore, as in the opening Sabad of this composition, in this Sabad too, Guru Arjan Sahib pleads before IkOankar for the gift of the remembrance of Nam.
