(Guru Ram Das) is an ever overflowing pool of ambrosial nectar, in which the fountains of ambrosial Bani flow – by which an immortal status is obtained.
– Bhatt Kalya, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 1396

Message: Guru Ram Das is referred to as a pool � by Bhatt Kalya, one of the contributors to the Guru Granth Sahib. The Gurus were men par excellence with wisdom in their minds and love in their hearts for all people regardless of race or religion.

Those who sip the essence of the Guru�s words and cleanse their minds by it, have their fears eradicated. They achieve the state of internal stability and fearlessness. Insightful and peaceful messages of Gurbani fill their empty hearts with love and compassion. They achieve laser focus on the right things to do in life and how to break away from the delusions that surround us.

If we follow the teachings of Gurbani in our lives, we can attain peace and serenity just like the Gurus and their followers even though we may be surrounded by suffering and challenges.

Etymology: Blend of a?mrit from Sanskrit a?mrit (immortal, nectar); comparable to the Greek ambrosia + sarovar (pool).
