Guru Nanak
Slok XXI
Guru Angad
What love is that which attacheth itself to worldly
things ?
Nanak, call him a lover who is ever absorbed in God.
He who deemeth what is good good, and what is bad bad,
Shall not be called a true lover if he proceed in this
manner.[1]
Guru Angad
He who offereth salutation and at the same time criticizeth
God s works, hath made a mistake from the beginning.
Both his salutation and criticism are in vain ; Nanak,
such a person shall not obtain a place in God's court.
Pauri XXI
Ever remember that Lord by worshipping whom thou
shalt find happiness.
Why hast thou done such evil deeds as thou shalt suffer
for?
Do absolutely nothing evil, look well before thee ;
So throw the dice that thou mayest not lose with the
Lord
,
Nay, that thou mayest gain some profit.
Slok XXII
Guru Angad
When a servant while performing service is proud and
quarrelsome besides,
And talketh too much, he pleaseth not his master.
If he efface himself and perform service, he shall obtain
some honour.
Nanak, he who longeth for God shall meet Him, and
- ↑ He shall not be called a lover, if he rail at God in adversity. This idea often occurs in Oriental poetry.
