Gunvanti

Guru Arjan Sahib

Guru Arjan Sahib describes a seeker longing to meet a Gursikh who has experienced IkOankar (the Divine) to receive guidance on their anguish over their separation from IkOankar. This longing and pain are expressed in the first half of the Sabad. The seeker asks the Sikh of the Guru to remove their suffering by showing them the way. In the second half of this Sabad, the Sikh of the Guru advises seekers to experience the presence of IkOankar. This is how the seeker becomes ‘Gunvanti,’ or full of virtues. This Sabad encourages seekers to center their lives on IkOankar.
