The following excerpt is from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

ik-onkaar satgur parsaad

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

~ Guru Granth Sahib 1426–9

✥ ✥ ✥

ਸਲੋਕ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥

salok mehlaa 9

Shalok, Ninth Mehl:

~ Guru Granth Sahib 1426–10

✥ ✥ ✥

ਗੁਨ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਗਾਇਓ ਨਹੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਅਕਾਰਥ ਕੀਨੁ ॥
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਭਜੁ ਮਨਾ ਜਿਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਜਲ ਕਉ ਮੀਨੁ ॥੧॥

gun gobind gaa-i-o nahee janam akaarath keen
kaho naanak har bhaj manaa jih biDh jal ka-o meen

If you do not sing the Praises of the Lord, your life is rendered useless.
Says Nanak, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord; immerse your mind in Him, like the fish in the water.
