I have burnt in the fire the clever devices and praises of the world Some speak good of me, and some speak ill of me, but I have surrendered my body to You


Sikhism quote 6896 |  ANG 528 SGGSJi  

When something is right but not popular amongst people, do not focus on peoples’ comments. One should go ahead and do the right thing. Waheguru’s path is truth from beginning to eternity and opinions come and go. Other may have their own opinions; stay steadfast on the path of truth




O ne who is not affected by pleasure or pain, who looks upon friend and enemy alike Says Guru Nanak, listen, mind: know that such a person is liberated


Sikhism quote 6897 |  ANG 1427 SGGSJi  

One must realise that happiness and sadness are momentary and these moments will pass. See Waheguru’s light; the One God’s light in friends and foe. The path of liberation is in seeing equality in all




T o take what rightfully belong to another, is like a Muslim eating pork and a Hindu eating beef Our Guru, Our Spiritual Guide, stands by us, if we do not eat these carcasses By mere talk, people do not earn passage to heaven. Salvation comes only from the practice of Truth


Sikhism quote 6898 |  ANG 141 SGGSJi  

When one takes what is not theirs to take and makes excuses to justify their action, then falseness expands within one. Through false deeds only falsehood is obtained. Good truthful actions speak volumes and through this truthful path salvation can be obtained




T he Supreme Lord God takes care of His humble servant The slanderers are not allowed to stay; they are pulled out by their roots, like useless weeds


Sikhism quote 6899 |  ANG 683 SGGSJi  

Never slander another. Remember we are all His creation and He exists in all His creation. He does not take lightly to slanders. Those who slander the truthful will be pulled out by the roots like a weed. Be humble and do not let anger make your tongue utter evil comments




D o not indulge in envy and bickering, O my mind By continually doing good deeds, comforts are obtained, O my mind


Sikhism quote 6900 |  ANG 479 SGGSJi  

Good deeds add to merits that Waheguru: the One God wants us to gain. Good deeds are not bickering about or envying others. It is not about why they have things that I should have. What happens and what one gets is in His hukum (His Order) so accept what one has and continue to indulge in good deeds and thoughts. He is the knower of our hearts and He will provide




A s far as possible, do not associate with the faithless cynics, O Beloved Meeting with them, the Lord is forgotten, O Beloved, and you rise and depart with a blackened face


Sikhism quote 6901 |  ANG 641 SGGSJi  

One must remember Waheguru: the One God who gives us everything. Forgetting Him will only lead to pain. Mixing with those who remember Him will encourage one to do the same and obtain His love




N ight and day, he sings the Kirtan of the Lord’s Praises, O Beloved, totally filled with Ambrosial Nectar He crosses over the sea of pain, O Beloved, and swims across the terrifying world-ocean One who is pleasing to His Will, He unites with Himself, O Beloved; he is forever true


Sikhism quote 6902 |  ANG 641 SGGSJi  

Remember Waheguru: the One God all the time. During the day and during the night and sing His praises. With Him on one’s side one crosses over this world ocean into the safety of the One God. He will unite you with Him




S ome pass their lives gambling Some pass their lives getting drunk Some pass their lives stealing the property of others The humble servants of the Lord pass their lives meditating on the Naam


Sikhism quote 6903 |  ANG 914 SGGSJi  

One has been given the life of a human and this is the time to remember Him and be one with Him. So do not indulge in gambling, drinking and stealing, instead spend time in meditation and conduct acts of worship so that the time on this earth is put to good use




S ome pass their lives in Yoga, strict meditation, worship and adoration Some, in sickness, sorrow and doubt Some pass their lives practicing control of the breath The Saints pass their lives singing the Kirtan of the Lord’s Praises


Sikhism quote 6904 |  ANG 914 SGGSJi  

So what if one learns how to control one’s breath and can meditate. Still some suffer sickness and pain, others live yogic lives. One must go through this life time which has been obtained through His grace. Remember Waheguru: the One God who is one’s creator and master




S ome pass their lives as actors, acting and dancing Some pass their lives taking the lives of others Some pass their lives ruling by intimidation The Saints pass their lives chanting the Lord’s Praises


Sikhism quote 6905 |  ANG 914 SGGSJi  

Life is precious and one should maximise it by remembering Waheguru through naam simran (meditation) or kirtan (singing His praises). One can waste it through fruitless acts of intimidating others for self gain or act in a manner to make themselves look important when that is not true. These are things that will remain behind, concentrate on remembering Waheguru and your life goals will be fulfilled here and hereafter

B lessed, blessed is the good fortune of those holy people, who sing the Kirtan of the Lord’s Praises, and so become virtuous

B lessed, blessed is the good fortune of those Gurmukhs, who live as Gursikhs, and conquer their minds But the greatest good fortune of all, is that of the Guru’s Sikhs, who fall at the Guru’s feet

Sikhism quote 6914 |  ANG 525 SGGSJi  

What one is on the inside one hides with religious robes and religious deeds. One does not recognise the True God and tries to hide his inner filth from Him. But He sees all.
