(O human!) Make the effort to swim across the world-ocean successfully. Your life is passing uselessly, indulging in the pleasures of Maya. -Guru Arjan Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 12
Message: We are reminded to make the effort to come closer to the Divine, and not to waste this life in the pursuit of worldly entanglements.
Explanation: The human body with its discerning mind is a gift from the Creator. With this, we have an opportunity to understand and connect to our divine source. The quote questions whether we are willing to make the effort.
We live our lives indulging in material pleasures, being unaware of the truth and the wisdom available to us. We have the chance, however, to join the more spiritually conscious to contemplate on divine wisdom.
With self-discipline, self-restraint and righteous living, we can come closer to the Divine.
Etymology: From Persian sar-anjaam (arrangement, preparation, an act or instance of carrying into effect).
