A salok of Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, from the Guru Granth Sahib (Ang 517): "The Saving Lord has Himself protected and saved us. Falling at the Guru's feet, our affairs are resolved. He has become merciful and does not forget us from His mind. In the company of the holy, we are carried across the world-ocean."
