In the present age, Guru Arjun is the boat (to carry people across the ocean of life). O people of the entire universe! Attached to him, you will be carried across safely. -Bhatt Mathura, Guru Granth Sahib, 1408
Message: The light or wisdom of the Divine illuminated through Guru Arjun, in the fifth succession ladder of Guru Nanak. During his guruship, Guru Arjun completed many tasks, including the construction of Durbar Sahib, Amritsar. Numerous hymns, which are the guiding force for all to lead a fruitful life, were composed by him. He compiled these hymns and the hymns of his predecessor Gurus and other Bhagats into a volume, later known as Guru Granth Sahib.
The light of the Guru�s wisdom in the form of Guru Granth Sahib shines forth forever and for all times. It has the power of enlightening and leading the people of the whole world. By focusing our consciousness on Its divine teachings, we can also endeavour to make our lives spiritually elevated and fulfilled.
Etymology: From Persian jahaaz (ship).
