Below are some of the finest quotations from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib:
By walking His path
ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥ ਚੁਪੈ ਚੁਪ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ ॥
ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ ॥ ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਤ ਇਕ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥ ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ |
Socẖai socẖ na hova▫ī je socẖī lakẖ vār. Cẖupai cẖup na hova▫ī je lā▫e rahā liv ṯār.
Bẖukẖi▫ā bẖukẖ na uṯrī je bannā purī▫ā bẖār. Sahas si▫āṇpā lakẖ hohi ṯa ik na cẖalai nāl. Kiv sacẖi▫ārā ho▫ī▫ai kiv kūrhai ṯutai pāl. Hukam rajā▫ī cẖalṇā Nānak likẖi▫ā nāl. ॥1॥ |
By thinking, thoughts cannot result, even by thinking thousands of times.
By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining continuously absorbed within. The hunger of the hungry cannot be quenched, even by piling up loads of worldly goods. Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but even one will not go along with you in the end. So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away? O Nanak, it is written that by obeying the Hukam (Will of the Lord) and by walking His path. ॥1॥ |
Beautiful gates, houses and palaces
ਦਰ ਘਰ ਮਹਲਾ ਸੋਹਣੇ ਪਕੇ ਕੋਟ ਹਜਾਰ ॥ ਹਸਤੀ ਘੋੜੇ ਪਾਖਰੇ ਲਸਕਰ ਲਖ ਅਪਾਰ ॥
ਕਿਸ ਹੀ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਚਲਿਆ ਖਪਿ ਖਪਿ ਮੁਏ ਅਸਾਰ ॥੩॥ |
Ḏar gẖar mėhlā sohṇe pake kot hajār. Hasṯī gẖoṛe pākẖre laskar lakẖ apār. Kis hī nāl na cẖali▫ā kẖap kẖap mu▫e asār. ॥3॥ |
Beautiful gates, houses and palaces, solidly built forts, elephants, saddled horses, hundreds of thousands of uncounted armies - |
You may gather gold and silver
ਸੁਇਨਾ ਰੁਪਾ ਸੰਚੀਐ ਮਾਲੁ ਜਾਲੁ ਜੰਜਾਲੁ ॥ ਸਭ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਦੋਹੀ ਫੇਰੀਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸਿਰਿ ਕਾਲੁ ॥ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਪੜੈ ਜੀਉ ਖੇਲਸੀ ਬਦਫੈਲੀ ਕਿਆ ਹਾਲੁ ॥੪॥ |
Su▫inā rupā sancẖī▫ai māl jāl janjāl. Sabẖ jag mėh ḏohī ferī▫ai bin nāvai sir kāl. Pind paṛai jī▫o kẖelsī baḏfailī ki▫ā hāl. ॥4॥ |
You may gather gold and silver, but wealth is just a net of entanglement. You may beat the drum and proclaim authority over the whole world, |
When you face extreme hardship
ਜਾ ਕਉ ਮੁਸਕਲੁ ਅਤਿ ਬਣੈ ਢੋਈ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਲਾਗੂ ਹੋਏ ਦੁਸਮਨਾ ਸਾਕ ਭਿ ਭਜਿ ਖਲੇ ॥ ਸਭੋ ਭਜੈ ਆਸਰਾ ਚੁਕੈ ਸਭੁ ਅਸਰਾਉ ॥ ਚਿਤਿ ਆਵੈ ਓਸੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਲਗੈ ਨ ਤਤੀ ਵਾਉ ॥੧॥ |
Jā ka▫o muskal aṯ baṇai dẖo▫ī ko▫e na ḏe▫e.Lāgū ho▫e ḏusmanā sāk bẖė bẖaj kẖale. Sabẖo bẖajai āsrā cẖukai sabẖ asrā▫o. Cẖiṯ āvai os pārbarahm lagai na ṯaṯī vā▫o. ॥1॥ |
When you are confronted with terrible hardships, and no one offers you any support, when your friends turn into enemies, and even your relatives have deserted you, |
