Gurmukh longs for the glimpse of truth and the truth is abtained only by providentially meeting an adopter of the truth.

Living in the family, the gurmukh like a dutiful householder enjoys all materials and like kings tastes all delights.

ਦੇਂਦਾ ਰਹੈ ਨ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਹੋਇ ਵਿਜੋਗ ਵਿਜੋਗੀ ।

dendaa rahai na mangeeai marai na hoe vijog vijogee |

He always bestows and begs nothing. Neither he dies nor he suffers the pangs of the separation from the Lord.

He accepts sufferings and joys alike; wisdom of the Guru is his wealth and he is uninfluenced by joy and sorrows.

Being embodied he is yet beyond the body and while living in the world he is beyond the world.
