This publication is different from the books generally produced on the Guru Granth Sahib. It analyses the compositions of the Gurus in terms of their awareness of contemporary social order, polity and religious traditions. It discusses the conception of liberation-in-life in relation to their conception of God. The book gives a meaningful selection from those compositions of the Guru Granth Sahib which are read, recited or sung by thousands of Sikhs every day, followed by a simple and clear translation in English.
