Guru Arjan Sahib’s Mundavani (seal) serves as a closing testament to the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, offering a metaphor that encapsulates the essence of spiritual wisdom. The image of a platter containing three essential elements—Truth, Contentment, and the Immortal Nam (Divine Identification)—illustrates a complete and nourishing spiritual offering. These elements are not just words or concepts; they represent the foundational principles of a life lived in Divine awareness and surrender.

The platter’s contents symbolize the sustenance required for the being’s journey. Truth, which reflects the Divine reality, and Contentment, which signals inner peace and alignment with the Divine will, and the Immortal Nam, the remembrance and identification with the All-Pervasive Divine. This combination provides the ultimate support for life’s challenges and uncertainties.

The Sabad emphasizes that those who “eat” or “savor” this spiritual offering—meaning those who truly internalize and live by these principles—are emancipated. Emancipation here is not only liberation from the cycle of birth and death but also freedom from ignorance, ego, and the attachments that bind the being to worldly suffering. The repetition of "daily, daily, keep it in the heart" urges constant reflection and mindfulness, stressing the importance of integrating these virtues into everyday life.

The final lines point toward surrender to the Divine. By resting at the feet of the Divine, symbolizing humility and submission, one is guided across the "dark-ignorant world-ocean"—a metaphor for the challenges and illusions of life. The assurance that "all is the Supreme Cosmic’s expanse" serves as a reminder of the pervading presence of the Divine in all things, offering comfort and certainty to those on the spiritual path.
