This
Sabad describes the being’s separation from and union with IkOankar (the Divine), which happen according to the will of IkOankar. While in the mother’s womb, the being remembers IkOankar. However, after birth, they become attached to transient things and relationships and forget IkOankar. As a result, they remain trapped in the cycle of birth and death, wandering through various life-forms. The compassionate IkOankar alone frees them from this cycle. Those who continue to remember IkOankar even after taking birth make their life fruitful in this world and are accepted in the court of IkOankar.
