Bhai Gurdaas Ji in Vaars Bhai Gurdaas Ji writes: “By writing 1 (One) in the beginning, it has been shown that Ik OanKaar, God, who subsumes all forms in Him is Only One.

Where Thou art, is not egoism.
You who are learned, expound in your mind
this inexpressible proposition.

quote 4398 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Maru-ki-Var, M.1, p. 1092

I n the cool, dew-drenched night are shining the stars:
At this hour are awake the devotees, lovers of God,
meditating each day on the Name--
Their hearts meditating on the lotus feet of God,
whom they forsake not for an instant.

quote 4382 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Asa Chhant, M.5, p. 459

C ontemplate the Name yourself; inspire it to others;
By attending to it, discoursing of it, living by it,
obtain liberation.

By spontaneous devotion, says Nanak, chant the Lord's praise.

T he disciple that takes abode in the Master's home to receive guidance
Should with his heart the Master's guidance accept. He should nowise show

shall be fulfilled. One that serves and seeks no recompense, Finds union
with the Lord.

quote 4365 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Gauri Sukhmani 18, M.5, p. 285

A s in the sky flies the white-clothed crane,
Keeping its mind behind,
In its heart continually remembering its young ones;
So the true Guru keeps the disciple absorbed in the love of God,
And also keeps him in his heart.

quote 4348 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Adi Granth, Japuji 1, M.1, p. 1

M y heart is joy-filled, blossoming with love;
Ravished am I by His love--
Love of my eternal Lord.
He is the immortal Lord Supreme,
Whose will nothing restrains;
Gracious, compassionate,
In each one's life involved.
He is my sole knowledge, object of meditation, adoration,
His name in my soul lodged:
Neither ritual garb nor wandering nor austere yoga
Know I to win Him over:
Nanak, true devotion alone conquers His love.

Agreeable is the cool night, followed by happy day;
Thou who art asleep in thy own ego, the Beloved calls thee.
Awakened is the youthful bride to the Lover's call,
In aspect pleasing to Him.
Thou youthful bride! discard falsehood, deceit,
Maya-absorption, concern with the world.
Round my neck I wear the pearl-string of His Name,
The jewel string of His holy Word.
With hands folded Nanak makes supplication:
Show Thy grace, take me into Thy favor!

quote 4346 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Bilaval Chhant, M.1, p. 843-44

H ow may I live, Mother, without the Lord?
Glory to Thee, Lord of the Universe!
To praise Thee I seek;
Never without the Lord may I live.
The Bride is athirst for the Lord;
All night is she awake lying in wait for Him.
The Lord has captured my heart;
He alone knows my agony:
Without the Lord the soul is in travail and pain--
Seeking His Word and the touch of His feet.
Show Thy grace, Lord; immerse me in Thyself.

quote 4345 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Sarang, M.1, p. 1232

T hose who remember the Lord with every breath, each morsel,
And in whose mind ever abides the spell of the Lord's Name--
Says Nanak, are blessed, perfect devotees.

quote 4339 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

T hrough faith the mind and intellect find concentration;
And to the seeker are revealed all the stages of enlightenment.
Through faith one will not receive blows in the Hereafter,
Nor be subjected to death's terror.
The great, immaculate Name of God
May only be realized by one
Whose mind is firmly fixed in faith.

Through faith man meets no obstacle on the Path,
And shall proceed to his abode with God with his honor universally
proclaimed.
One with faith shall not stray into sects and byways,
But be fixed in true religion.
The great, immaculate Name of God
May only be realized by one
Whose mind is firmly fixed in faith.

Through faith man finds the Door of Liberation:
Even his relatives are liberated through him.
Through faith are both Preceptor and disciple liberated.
Says Nanak, One with faith
Need not wander about begging for divine grace.
The great, immaculate Name of God
May only be realized by one
Whose mind is firmly fixed in faith.

quote 4331 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Japuji 12-15, M.1, p. 3

N ow are for us no entanglements or snares,
Nor a bit of egoism left.
Now is all distance annulled, nor are curtains drawn between us.
Thou art mine, I Thine.

quote 4312 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Bilaval, M.5, p. 821

W hoever is proud of his royal authority
falls into hell, becomes a dog.
Whoever fancies himself for his beauty
takes birth as a filthy worm.
Whoever proclaims his meritorious deeds
whirls in transmigration, fallen into numerous births.
Whoever is proud of wealth and estates
is thoughtless, blind, senseless.
But whoever in whose heart He, in His grace, lodges humility
finds, says Nanak, liberation in this life,
bliss in the hereafter.

Whoever is proud of his wealth,
Know not even a blade of grass shall accompany him.
Whoever pins his confidence on large hoardes and servants
is destroyed in an instant.
Whoever reckons himself powerful over all
is reduced in an instant to ashes.
Whoever in his pride reckons none as his equal
In the end treated with ignominy by the Master of Law.
Whoever by the Master's grace has his pride anulled,
Says Nanak, finds acceptance at the Divine Portal.

quote 4304 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Gauri Sukhmani 12, M.5, p. 278

T heir light is merged into the light of the infinite.

quote 4300 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Maru Ashtpadi, M.1, p. 1009

T he holy Preceptor by the Word lighted a lamp;
Thereby was shattered darkness of the temple of the self,
And the unique chamber of jewels thrown open.
Wonderstruck were we in extreme on beholding it--
Its greatness beyond expression.

quote 4293 | The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Bilaval, M.5, p. 821
