ਅੰਗ ਸੰਗ - Close at Hand ⁣

In Koer Singh's Gurbilas Patshahi 10 (1751), when Guru Gobind Singh announces that they will soon leave their body, Gurdit Singh asks the Guru what should the community do after they leave, to whose shawl [palla] shall they hold onto in this life? The Guru responds:⁣

⁣

ਤਬ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਆਪ ਉਚਾਰ ਕੀਉ "ਅੰਗ ਸੰਗ ਸੁ ਸਿੱਖਨ ਮੈ ਨਿਜਕਾਵੈ" ॥⁣

Then from His Exalted Mouth they said, "I will remain amidst, close at hand, to all my Sikhs"⁣
