Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Asceticism doesn't lie in ascetic robes or in walking staff nor in the ashes. Asceticism doesn't lie in the earring nor in the shaven head nor blowing a conch. Asceticism lies in remaining pure amidst impurities."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one's wife alone."
Quote by -Guru Nanak

Quote by -Guru Nanak

Quote by -Guru Nanak

Quote by -Guru Nanak
"I am neither male nor female, nor am I sexless. I am the Peaceful One, whose form is self-effulgent, powerful radiance."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Me, the bard out of work, the Lord has applied to His service. In the very beginning, He gave me the order to sing His praises night and day. The Master summoned the minstrel to His True Court. He clothed me with the robe of His true honour and eulogy. Since then, the True Name had become my ambrosial food."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"There are worlds and more worlds below them, and there are a hundred thousand skies over them. No one has been able to find the limits and boundaries of God. If there be any account of God, then alone the mortal can write the same; but God's account does not finish, and the mortal himself dies while still writing."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"The production of children, the nurture of those born, and the daily life of men, of these matters woman is visibly the cause."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Asceticism doesn't lie in mere words; He is an ascetic who treats everyone alike. Asceticism doesn't lie in visiting burial places; it lies not in wandering about nor in bathing at places of pilgrimage. Asceticism is to remain pure amidst impurities."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Let God's grace be the mosque, and devotion the prayer mat. Let the Quran be the good conduct."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Even kings and emperors, with mountains of property and oceans of wealth - these are not even equal to an ant, who does not forget God."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"If the people use the wealth bestowed on them by God for themselves "alone "or for treasuring it, it is like a corpse. But if they decide to share it with others, it becomes sacred food."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"I bow at His Feet constantly, and pray to Him, the Guru, the True Guru, has shown me the Way."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Only fools argue whether to eat meat or not. They don't understand truth, nor do they meditate on it. Who can define what is meat and what is plant? Who knows where the sin lies, being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?"
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru none can cross over to the other shore."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Dwell in peace in the home of your own being, and the Messenger of Death will not be able to touch you."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"There is but One God. His name is Truth; He is the Creator. He fears none; he is without hate. He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death. He is self-illuminated. He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning; He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True. He is also True now."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
"Burn worldly love, rub the ashes and make ink of it, make the heart the pen, the intellect the writer, write that which has no end or limit."
Quote by -Guru Nanak
