By believing and following (Naam or the divine teaching of the Guru), devotees reach the door to salvation. – Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 3
Message: Through emulation of the divine instruction of Gurbani, the door to freedom is made accessible. Freedom here implies the freedom from worldly bonds that tie us down. One who is thus freed also becomes an exemplar to family and friends, in other words, becomes a positive influence on others.
Such an individual does not go begging for a living, or seeking spiritual guidance from anyone else anymore as he or she is now firmly grounded in the wisdom of the Divine. He or she earns an honest livelihood, an obvious reference to idlers disguised as holy people who go around begging and swindling in the name of religion.
