trisnaa chhodai bhai vasai�� naanak kar?ee saar.
Nanak! This is the most excellent action: that one forsakes craving and abides in the Divine awe. � Guru Amar Das, Guru Granth Sahib, 1089
Message: The purpose of all religious teaching is to help one to transform into a better human being. It is to transform one�s base nature into a higher or divine nature. It is to exalt and embellish one�s true godly nature internally and externally.
With the guidance of the Guru�s teachings, when we are empowered to recognise and control our excessive cravings and unnecessary desires for worldly possessions, we will move closer to the Creator.
We will recognize the all-pervading presence of the Divine and be motivated to walk in harmony with the Divine will. We will be illuminated with the graceful bliss of the Divine.
Etymology: From Sanskrit saar (best part; firm, strong) ? Pali saar (heart; essential) ? Prakrit saar (strength, wealth) ? Apabhransh saaru�(the best part, the whole) ? Sindhi saaru and Kashmiri/Punjabi saar (essence).
