Gurprasād

The Guru’s grace: in Sikh teaching, the gift by which God is known, closing the Mūl Mantar.

Also: Gurprasad, nadar

Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Gurprasād, “by the Guru’s grace”, is the last word of the Mūl Mantar. It teaches that God is known not by human effort alone but by the gift of the Guru, who is finally God. Effort and grace work together: the disciple remembers the Name, and grace opens the door.
