Guru Nanak Quotes

«If he is asked, let him always give something, be it ever so little, without grudging, for a worthy recipient will ,perhaps be found who saves him from all ,guilt .»
«Both he who respectfully receives ,a gift , and he who respectfully bestows it, go to heaven, in the contrary case ,they both fall into hell.»
«Giving no pain to any creature, let him slowly accumulate spiritual merit, for the sake ,of acquiring a companion to the next world, just as the white ant ,gradually raises its hill.»
«For in the next world neither father, nor mother, nor wife, nor sons, nor relations stay to be his companions, spiritual merit alone remains ,with him .»
«Single is each being born, single it dies, single it enjoys ,the reward of its virtue, single ,it suffers the punishment of its sin.»
«Leaving the dead body on the ground like a log of wood, or a clod of earth, the relatives depart with averted faces, but spiritual merit follows the ,soul .»
«Let him therefore always slowly accumulate spiritual merit, in order ,that it may be his companion ,after death , for with merit as his companion he will traverse a gloom difficult to traverse.»
«That companion speedily conducts the man who is devoted to duty and effaces his sins by austerities, to the next world, radiant and clothed with an ethereal body.»
«He who is persevering, gentle, ,and patient, shuns the company of men of cruel conduct, and does no injury ,to living creatures , gains, if he constantly lives in that manner, by controlling his organs and by liberality, heavenly bliss.»
«He may accept from any ,man , fuel, water, roots, fruit, food offered without asking, and honey, likewise a gift ,which consists in a promise of protection.»
