The eternal Master is very dear to me. Through the Word of the perfect Guru, He has become my life-support. -Guru Amar Das Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 116
Message: In life, we seek support from friends and loved ones which is fine, but these are never, ever everlasting.� Sometimes, we go out of our way and seek peace and solace from pseudo saints and sadhus.� At the end, all this comes to nothing. To Guru Amar Das, the true and eternal Master is very dear.� The only Master who will provide support for lifelong is the Almighty.
Etymology: Blend of ati (very) + piaaraa from Sanskrit priyakaar (agreeable, doing a kindness) ? Apabhransh piyaarya (dear) ? Sindhi piaaro�and Lahndi/Punjabi piaaraa (dear).
