Guru Arjan Sahib states that by taking refuge and singing the virtues of IkOankar (the Divine), the fear of death vanishes, sufferings are removed, and the mind-desired fruit is found. 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 seventeenth pauri states that only that being is courageous, of higher consciousness, high moral character, and noble lineage, who sings and inculcates the virtues of IkOankar within. Everyone, be they of high or low social status, can find this state.
