The Closing Saloks, Savaiye in Praise of Guru Amar Das (the bard Jall)
One wisdom, handed along, loosens what the world ties tight.
The Arc
The same wisdom has passed from heart to heart for ages. Jaidev held it. Namdev was filled with it. Trilochan kept it in mind, and Kabir knew it. Rukmangad lived by it, remembering the One every day. It brought Ambreek and Prahlaad to the One's shelter and set them free. That same wisdom helps you set down greed, anger and endless wanting, and find the way. Guru Amar Das lived it fully. Just seeing someone who carries it can set you free. At the center, the opening line: the wisdom Jaidev held is the wisdom that filled Namdev.
