Guru Nanak Quotes

«Let him not place ,fire under ,a bed or the like , nor step over it, nor place it ,when he sleeps at the foot ,end of his bed , let him not torment living creatures.»
«Let him not eat, nor travel, nor sleep during the twilight, let him not scratch the ground, let him not take off his garland.»
«Let him not sleep alone in a deserted dwelling, let him not wake ,a superior who is sleeping, let him not converse with a menstruating woman, nor let him go to a sacrifice, if he is not chosen ,to be officiating priest .»
«Let him not interrupt a cow who is suckling ,her calf , nor tell anybody of it. A wise man, if he sees a rainbow in the sky, must not point it out to anybody.»
«Let him not dwell in a village where the sacred law is not obeyed, nor ,stay long where diseases are endemic, let him not go alone on a journey, nor reside long on a mountain.»
«Let him not eat anything from which the oil has been extracted, let him not be a glutton, let him not eat very early ,in the morning , nor very late ,in the evening , nor ,take any food in the evening, if he has eaten ,his fill in the morning.»
«Let him not exert himself without a purpose, let him not drink water out of his joined palms, let him not eat food ,placed in his lap, let him not show ,idle curiosity.»
«Let him not dance, nor sing, nor play musical instruments, nor slap ,his limbs , nor grind his teeth, nor let him make uncouth noises, though he be in a passion.»
«Let him never wash his feet in a vessel of white brass, let him not eat out of a broken ,earthen dish, nor out of one that ,to judge from its appearance ,is defiled.»
«Let him not use shoes, garments, a sacred string, ornaments, a garland, or a water vessel which have been used by others.»
