Guru Arjan Sahib states that only Nam (Identification with IkOankar) can resolve the affairs of the being by freeing them from the influence of Maya (attachment to the material and to relationships). Corresponding to the fifteen-day lunar calendar and each pauri (stanza) correlates to each day formed by the waxing and waning of the moon. The thirteenth pauri states that the being under the influence of Maya forgets Nam and continues to wander and suffer. Entering the refuge of IkOankar (the Divine) is the only remedy to escape suffering and pain.
