First thing that I want to explain to you is that the Siri Guru Granth Sahib is a spiritual revelation, not a code book. It speaks and shares with us the ecstasy and revelations of the Sikh Guru's and other enlightened humans in their language of transformation. It has its own power to give us their same experience by us reciting in the same language.

The code ....is with us.... the guides and the practitioners of this spiritual revelation.

The references that you asked for are as follows:

Pg. 1335- Prabhaa-ti Guru Ram Das- bottom of the page...

"Har Har naam drillaa-e-o gur meethaa gur pag jhaa-re ham baal"
The Guru has planted the Lord God's sweet Name within me, and I dust the Guru's feet with my hair. Pause

Pg. 500 Gujri Guru Arjan Dev-2nd line

Khesh sang daas pag chaare-o
"With my head hair I cleanse the feet of your slaves and this is my life's object."

Pg. 749 Suhi 5th Guru
Kesaa kaa kar chlat-"making a whisk of my hair, I wave it over them.......



Pg. 745 Guru Arjan Dev
kesaa kaa kar beejanaa sant chor dulaavo-"making a fan of my hair, I have it as a whisk over the saint".
