More quotes by Guru Nanak

Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot and truth the twist.
This is the sacred thread of the soul; if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me.

You shall everywhere mind the book of the Granth-Sahib as your Guru; whatever you shall ask it will show you.

The same gold is fashioned into various articles; just so, the Lord has made the many patterns of the creation.

The Ultimate Sikhism Library (2013)

He Himself spread out the expanse of His Maya, and He Himself beholds it. He assumes so many forms, and plays so many games, and yet he remains distinct and detached from its all.

O Lallo, as the words of the Lord come to me, so do I express them.

Guru Nanak Dev ji (1469)
