“He is not concerned with deliverance or bondage. Nanak has obtained the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“That which is pre-ordained cannot be erased. O Nanak, without serving the True Guru, liberation is not obtained.”
“If Nanak could be the dust of their feet, then he, the ignorant one, might also obtain some. Who is our mother, and who is our father? Where did we come from? We are formed from the fire of the womb within, and the bubble of water of the sperm. For what purpose are we created?”
“O Nanak, make the True Guru your friend; going to His Court, you shall obtain the True Lord.”
“The Great Giver lives; no one dies. O Nanak, those who do not enshrine the Lord within their minds are deluded.”
“Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain. O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this.”
“O Nanak, if the shaven-headed ones do not bathe, then seven handfuls of ashes are upon their heads.”
