Reading the book of Gorkut Ata raises the spirit, relieves the body, and calms the soul. You will be exalted and close to your past.

What is told in the book of Gorkut Ata is the religion and his wise ideas and advice to people.

The ideas of Gorkut Ata ruled over the land of Türkmens for five hundred years. After this, in the third period of our history, Seljuk Beg, from the lineage of Gorkut Ata, became the ruler.

The Seljuks reigned around Merw. This reign expanded towards the West, towards Asia Minor.
