This prayer is read at the completion of the Akhānd Pāth or the closing of prayers from the Srī Gurū Granth Sāhib Jī. This prayer is used to invoke a sentiment of dispassion within both the reader and the listener to detach from this world and focus upon the name of God. It is the most read prayer by Srī Gurū Tegh Bahādur Jī and both has a historical and spiritual significance. There are numerous commentaries that can be found within Sikh literature on this text but the one that impacted on me the most was a lecture by Sant Harī Singh (Randhāwe Wāle). This commentary took place on the 22nd of April 2012 at Gurdwārā Singh Sabhā Malton, Canada.
