The servant of God is one with God || On Advait Vedanta (2019)

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਨਿਸਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਭਜੈ ਰੂਪ ਰਾਮ ਤਿਹ ਜਾਨੁ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚੀ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੨੯॥

jo paraanee nis din bhajai roop raam tih jaan har jan har antar nahee naanak saachee maan

That mortal who meditates and vibrates upon the Lord night and day — know him to be the embodiment of the Lord. There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true.

~ Guru Granth Sahib 1427–19, 1428–1, Salok Mahala 9–29

✥ ✥ ✥

ਜਿਹ ਘਟਿ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ਸੋ ਨਰੁ ਮੁਕਤਾ ਜਾਨੁ ॥ ਤਿਹਿ ਨਰ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚੀ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੪੩॥

jih ghat simran raam ko so nar muktaa jaan tihi nar har antar nahee naanak saachee maan

That person, who meditates in remembrance on the Lord in his heart, is liberated — know this well. There is no difference between that person and the Lord: O Nanak, accept this as the Truth.

~ Guru Granth Sahib 1428–14/15, Salok Mahala 9–43

Questioner (Q): What does it mean to say that there is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord? Does the Guru represent total consciousness, as he is totally surrendered to the Absolute?
