As great as are the heavens and earth in extent, as far as the waters have swept, as far as fire; to these art thou superior, &c. |
As if a fire is burning him, as if the forest-fire burns in various directions, this jealousy of his do thou quench, as a fire (is quenched) with water! |
As long as I walked along, carrying the load, I continued to pay the fine. But I threw away that bundle, when I met the Perfect Guru; O Nanak, then I became fearless. |
As the best of the plants thou art reputed, O herb, turn this man for me to-day into a eunuch that wears his hair dressed! |
As the earth is dead in spirit, in spirit more dead than the dead, and as the spirit of him that has died, thus shall the spirit of the jealous (man) be dead! |
As the lightning at all times smites irresistibly the tree, thus would I to-day irresistibly beat the gamesters with my dice! |
As the wild animals of the forest start in fear from man, thus do thou, O drum, shout against the enemies, frighten them away, and bewilder their minds! |
As women break reeds for a mattress with a stone, thus do I break thy member |
At night, when you retire to sleep, feel that you are entering the green-room after the scene, but with the dress of your role on; for perhaps the role is not yet over and you have not yet been permitted to take the dress off. Perhaps, you have to make another entrance the next morning. Do not worry about that. Place yourself fully at His Disposal; He knows; He has written the play and He knows how it will end and how it will go on; Yours is but to act and retire. |
Be convinced of one Truth about Me; Swami will never lay his hand on a task without proper reason and without some profound effect that will flow there from. |
BE devoted to the Universal; be eager to become that. |
BE eager to confer consolation and courage; be anxious to be of help. Watch for the chance. |
Be full of humility; have faith in human goodness. |
Be kind to Nanak, O God; let the Lord's Name dwell within my mind and body. |
Be vigilant about words. Slip while walking, the injury can be repaired; but slip with talking, the injury is irreparable. |
