A disciple of the Guru; A learner. Does not necessarily need to be of Sikhism.
a Sikh is one who finds a Guru
a gursikh is one who kills control of the mind and adopts the guru way
a saint is one who is always at peace but also who is in presence of the Guru
Purpose
Without the Guru/God's grace good qualities cannot be produced.[1] The knowledge of good deeds and good qualities comes from the Guru; it is through His grace all good actions can be performed my humble reader. Doing good deeds thus then allows bhagti to happen which without good qualities is not possible.[2]
