- One person brings a full bottle, and another fills his cup. Drinking sharab, (alcohol), his intelligence departs,
- and madness enters his mind; he cannot distinguish between his own and others, and he is struck down by Waheguru,
- his Lord and Master. Drinking it, he forgets Waheguru, his Lord and Master, and he is punished in the Court of the Lord." (Ang 554)
- Guru Maharaj Had given us his Roop (Image), to his Sikh also, in due course as our Guru was to do, we should ourselves.
- "The Khalsa is my own form;
I manifest myself through the Khalsa.
So long as Khalsa remains distinct;
I bestow all glory on them."
- ''(Guru Gobind Singh)
