ਪਉੜੀ ੧੨

Winning over the twelve sects of yogis, the gurmukhs started a simple and straight way (for liberation).

It looks as if the sun circumambulates earth in twelve months and the moon in one month but the fact is that the work completed by the person having tamas and rajas qualities in twelve months is done in one month by the person having sattva quality.

Combining twelve (months) and sixteen (phases of moon) the sun merges into the moon i.e. rajas and tamas get absobed into the sattva.

Gurmukh repudiating the twelve types of marks on forehead only keeps on his head the mark of the love of Lord.

Conquering the twelve zodiac signs, gurmukh remains absorbed in the capital of truthful conduct.

Becoming pure gold of twelve masas (twenty four carrots) they come true to their worth in the world market.

Touching the philosopher's stone in the form of Guru, the gunnukhs also become philosopher's stone.
