The essence of this composition is revealed in the stanza of rahau (pause). In it, worldly accounting (entanglements) is described as useless. In the rest of the stanzas, the being is inspired to engage in true devotion to IkOankar instead of getting caught up in meaningless wordplay. Only by singing the praises of IkOankar can one be freed from worldly entanglements and gain honor in the court of IkOankar.
