The Sikh follower of Guru loses his self and achieves salvation in his life when still alive. Leading a house holder’s life, he feels no concern for distress or peace/comfort that comes his way.
And then birth and death, sin and piety, heaven and hell, pleasures and tribulations, worry and happiness all means equal to him.
For such a Guru-conscious person, jungle and home, enjoyment and renunciation, folk traditions and traditions of the scriptures, knowledge and contemplation, peace and distress, sorrow and pleasure, friendship and enmity are all the same.
A lump of earth or gold, poison and nectar, water and fire are all the same for a Guru-conscious person. Because, his love is to remain absorbed in the stable state of perpetual knowledge of the Guru. (90)
