Am I correct that in your answer to the query on Ardas, you have missed out the following text. "Sikhan the man nivan mat uchi mat pat ka rakha-hey akal purakh.....apne path they sahaai "

I am sorry but I could be wrong.

There are different texts for the center section of the ardas because it needs to come through the heart of the one doing the ardas. You will see, "Sikhan da man nivan, maat uchi, maat da rakha ap Waheguru.He Akal Purakh, apne Panth de sada sahai Datar jio!"given in our reply here, but this may be changed in the moment that ardas is done. It's important not to get locked in to repeating any particular text by rote as a true ardas is spontaneous as the prayers of the hearts of the sangat pour through the mouth of the speaker which becomes the mouth of the sangat.
