In this stanza, while instructing the human mind to recite the
Nam of IkOankar (the Divine), it has been explained: Through the Wisdom (Guru) and the contemplation of Nam, all transgressions and sufferings are removed. IkOankar is self-illuminated. IkOankar Own-Self creates and destroys. IkOankar Own-Self bestows both understanding and delusion. Rare is the being who realizes that IkOankar is all-Pervading and all-Capable. Those who realize it stay in a state of perpetual bliss.
