Once he, accompanied by Bh&#257&#299 Sakt&#363 Mahit&#257, visited Amritsar to pay obeisance to Gur&#363 Arjan. According to Bh&#257&#299 Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sikh&#257&#7749 d&#299 Bhagat M&#257l&#257</i>, they sought instruction saying, "Some believe that liberation is not possible without virtuous actions; there are others who assert that all action is merely temporal and that spiritual knowledge or insight, <i>gi&#257n (jñ&#257na)</i>, alone is the means of attaining liberation. Which path should we follow?" Gur&#363 Arjan said, "Divine Name is the link between the temporal being and the Ultimate Reality. Good deeds, selflessly performed, along with concentration on the Name, purify the Self and lead to self-realization. <i>Gi&#257n</i>, without the Name, is incomplete. It finds consummation only in absorption in the True Name. You should, therefore, constantly recite the Name, i.e. V&#257higur&#363."
