Guru Nanak Quotes

«Let him not travel with untrained beasts of burden, nor with ,animals that are tormented by hunger or disease, or whose horns, eyes, and hoofs have been injured, or whose tails have been disfigured.»
«The morning sun, the smoke rising from a ,burning corpse, and a broken seat must be avoided. Let him not clip his nails or hair, and not tear his nails with his teeth.»
«Let him not crush earth or clods, nor tear off grass with his nails, let him not do anything that is useless or will have disagreeable results in the future.»
«A man who crushes clods, tears off grass, or bites his nails, goes soon to perdition, likewise an informer and he who neglects ,the rules of purification.»
«Let him not wrangle, let him not wear a garland over ,his hair . To ride on the back of cows ,or of oxen is anyhow a blamable act.»
«Let him not enter a walled village or house except by the gate, and by night let him keep at a long distance from the roots of trees.»
«Let him never play with dice, nor himself take off his shoes, let him not eat, lying on a bed, nor what has been placed in his hand or on a seat.»
«Let him eat while his feet are ,yet wet ,from the ablution , but let him not go to bed with wet feet. He who eats while his feet are ,still wet, will attain long life.»
«Let him never enter a place, difficult of access, which is impervious to his eye, let him not look at urine or ordure, nor cross a river ,swimming with his arms.»
«Let him not step on hair, ashes, bones, potsherds, cotton seed or chaff, if he desires long life.»
