Guru Ji said:
One should walk towards the Guru like entering a grave as a corpse. Like a corpse who is motionless without any breath, an obedient Sikh of Guru should live according to Guru's teaching only and discard his ego and other vices.

Guru Ji gave further example of Bhagat Sain Ji who did sewa of saints day & night which greatly impressed Parmatma. Guru Ji advised Bhai Thingga ji to follow their footsteps. He incorporated all these teachings into his life & attained a great progress in his spiritual journey.
- Adhyai 11, Raas 1, Sri Gurpratap Suraj Parkash
Note: It is interesting that the analogy of corpse is given in being obedient to the Guru as Guru Ji also often gives the analogy of a corpse being equivalent to a person without Naam or Guru.
