<p class="C1">&#65279GOKH&#362 MAHIT&#256, BH&#256&#298, Bh&#257&#299 &#7788o&#7693&#257 Mahit&#257, Bh&#257&#299 Tot&#257 and Bh&#257&#299 Madd&#363, all devoted Sikhs who performed dedicated service at the time of the excavation of the sacred tank at Amritsar, once came to Gur&#363 Arjan and begged to be instructed. The Gur&#363 told them to sit in the <i>sa&#7749gat</i> and recite <i>gurb&#257&#7751&#299</i>. The Gur&#363 spoke: "Recitation of the sacred hymns cleanses the mind of sinful thought. To the listeners it gives comfort. Reflecting upon <i>gurb&#257&#7751&#299</i> with no desire other than emancipation of the soul leads to <i>gi&#257n</i> or true knowledge. Ego is thus overcome. Knowledge of the Self annihilates the sense of duality, resulting in Bliss Eternal. Assemble, therefore, in the <i>sa&#7749gat</i> of the virtuous, recite <i>gurb&#257&#7751&#299</i>, reflect upon it, and earn release from worldly bondage." The four, writes Bh&#257&#299 Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, acted upon the Gur&#363's advice and attained liberation (<i>V&#257r&#257&#7749</i> XI.18).</p>
