According to Bh&#257&#299 Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sikh&#257&#7749 d&#299 Bhagat M&#257l&#257</i>, Bh&#257&#299 Mayy&#257 along with Bh&#257&#299 J&#257p&#257 and Bh&#257&#299 Nayy&#257, both of the Khullar clan, and Bh&#257&#299 Tuls&#257, a Vohr&#257 Khatr&#299, once waited upon Gur&#363 R&#257m D&#257s and humbly spoke, "Tell us, True Lord, how to practise <i>ud&#257s&#299</i>, how to be non-attached while still being in the world." Gur&#363 R&#257m D&#257s said, "Occupy yourself with <i>gurb&#257&#7751&#299</i>, even as you occupy yourself with the affairs of the world. As you read the Gur&#363s' hymns or as you listen to the Gur&#363s' hymns being recited, keep your attention on their meaning. Keep reciting V&#257higur&#363 even as you work with your hands. By the Divine Name is <i>haumai</i> or selfhood overcome. The Divine Name is the boat that will ferry you across this worldly ocean." Bh&#257&#299 Mayy&#257 and others, says Bh&#257&#299 Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, followed the Gur&#363's precept and attained liberation.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, Bh&#257&#299, <i>Sikh&#257&#7749 d&#299 Bhagat M&#257l&#257</i>.
