This
astpadi describes the being’s separation from IkOankar (the Divine). It emphasizes the remembrance and contemplation of IkOankar’s
Nam and the need to surrender to the Wisdom (
Guru) to realize IkOankar. The contemplation of Nam removes sufferings and vices, and brings contentment. However, this is possible only through the Wisdom and the company of virtuous beings. Those who have such guidance and company realize and unite with IkOankar.
