Composing hymns in praise of One creator, Guru Nanak sang that a single breath taken without remembering the beloved Lord is a breath wasted. The devotee intent upon merging with the Lord scarce misses an opportunity to meet with like-minded ones in meditative contemplation.

“Pir risaaloo taa milai jaa gur kaa sabad sunee.” ||2||
“We meet with our Beloved, the Source of Joy, when we listen to the Word of the Guru's Shabad” (SGGS 17)
