Guru Arjan Sahib describes vices like lust and anger dwelling in the mind of the individual engrossed in earthly attachment. That being alone is vice-free who, by joining the company of virtuous beings, is imbued in the love of IkOankar (the Divine). 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 fifth pauri states that those beings imbued with the love and devotion of IkOankar are liberated from earthly attachment. Those who do not remember IkOankar continue to wander due to being engrossed in worldly pleasures.
