People also making their minds understand through the teaching of the Gum have restrained it from going astray.

jog bhog jin jugat kar bhaae bhagat bhai aap gavaaeaa |

Systematically, having won yoga as well as pleasures and getting immersed in devotion they have lost their fears.

When the ego vanished, God was not only realized as diffused all around, but also because of love for His devotees

He came under their control.
