Sri Guru Granth Sahib Quotes

«He came and he went, and now, even his name has died. After he left, food was offered on leaves, and the birds were called to come and eat.»
«Without the Guru, the world is drowning.»
«At the age of ten, he is a child; at twenty, a youth, and at thirty, he is called handsome. At forty, he is full of life; at fifty, his foot slips, and at sixty, old age is upon him. At seventy, he loses his intellect, and at eighty, he cannot perform his duties. At ninety, he lies in his bed, and he cannot understand his weakness. After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke.»
«You, O Creator Lord, are Unfathomable. You Yourself created the Universe, its colors, qualities and varieties, in so many ways and forms. You created it, and You alone understand it.»
«He placed the soul in the body which He had fashioned. He protects the Creation which He has created. With their eyes, they see, and with their tongues, they speak; with their ears, they bring the mind to awareness. With their feet, they walk, and with their hands, they work; they wear and eat whatever is given.»
«O Nanak, without the Guru, there is no honor; without honor, no one is carried across.»
«The deeds which one commits, while sitting in one's own home, are known far and wide, in the four directions.»
«One who lives righteously is known as righteous; one who commits sins is known as a sinner. You Yourself enact the entire play, O Creator.»
«Why should we speak of any other? As long as Your Light is within the body, You speak through that Light. Without Your Light, who can do anything? Show me any such cleverness!»
