Yes Gyani ji, the ultimate truth is with Akal Purakh. In our hands we have Ardas, Simran and Guru's Shabad. All incidents are truth of Akal Purakh. Even when sitting on Hot Plate Guru ji was reciting Shabad and was doing Simran. But we cannot be equal to the great Guru. We are much much lesser mortals and hence are highly falliable. So we need the crutches of Gurmukh Sants to help us through trial and tribulations and face the truth with some degree of fortitude. SGGS recognises the need. Hence the several references to Sants in SGGS. Needless to say Chardi Kalan is the state of mind and not entirely dependant on the situation of a person. And Chardi Kalan also enhances the abilties of the person. The finest examples being Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh.So Sidikki Sikhs do Ardas more for being in Chardikalan than for anything else and also do Shukrana (Thanksgiving) for each 4 pehar (12 hrs of day or night) that has passed. Very ordinary Sikhs (like me) require the the guidance of Gurmukh Sants to even understand (let alone interpret) Guru's Shabad correctly.
