Bhatt Mathura says that Guru Arjun has obviously become the embodiment of the Divine. There is no difference (between the light or wisdom of the Guru and the Divine). -Bhatt Mathura, Guru Granth Sahib, 1409

Message: The child Arjun always accepted the teachings of the Guru cheerfully and devotedly. With the insights gained from the Guru�s teachings and congregation, he cherished enduring love for the Divine in his heart at all times. Consequently, higher consciousness, truthful conduct and inner contentment, etc. were the mantras he lived by. By practising divine attributes in utterances, thoughts and deeds, he became internally one with and an embodiment of the Divine.

The path of Sikhi or spirituality is the way of selfless love and devotion to the Divine. By keeping the Guru�s teachings enshrined in our hearts at all times, it becomes obvious to us that the Divine is pervading everywhere and in everyone. By realising and living by this consciousness in word, thought and deed, we also become spiritually one with the Divine and all our misery will be taken away.

Etymology: From Sanskrit pratyaksh (visible).
