What is the source of our Ego?
ਹਉਮੈ ਕਰਤਿਆ ਨਹ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਮਨਮਤਿ ਝੂਠੀ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਇ ॥ ਸਗਲ ਤਿਗੂਿੇ ਭਾਵੈ ਦੋਇ ॥
Acting in egotism, peace is not obtained.
The way of the mind (munmat) is false; only
the Lord is True. All who love duality are
ruined.
ਜਿ ਹਮ ਹੋਿੇ ਿਿ ਿੁਮ ਨਾਹੀ ਅਿ ਿੁਮ ਹਹੁ ਹਮ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ ਅਿ ਹਮ ਿੁਮ ਏਕ ਭਏ ਹਤਹ ਏਕੈ ਦੇਖਿ ਮਨੁ ਪਿੀਆਹੀ ॥੧॥
When I was, then You were not; now that
You are, I am not. Now, You and I have
become one; seeing this, my mind is
content. ||1|| 339

commitment
To learn you must be willing to set aside
what you know and accept your Guru’s way.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਚਾਲ ਤਨਹਚਲ ਨਹੀ ਡੋਲੈ ॥ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਸਾਤਚ ਸਹਤਜ ਹਤਰ ਿੋਲੈ ॥ Following Gurmat (Guru's Way), one
becomes perfectly stable, and never wavers.
Following the Gurmat (Guru's Way) one
intuitively says Har.
ਗੁਰਮਿੀ ਖਾਧਾ ਰਤਜ ਤਿਤਨ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
Those who follow Gurmat (the Guru's
Teachings), who eat this food and are
satisfied, find peace. 144
ਤਿਰਪਤਿ ਆਘਾਏ ਸੰਿਾ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਜਾਨੇ ਤਜਨ ਮੰਿਾ ॥
The Saints are fulfilled and satisfied; they
know the Guru's Mantra and the
Teachings.1006
No judgment of others
ਿੁਰਾ ਭਲਾ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਕਹੀਜੈ ॥ ਛੋਤਡ ਮਾਨੁ ਹਤਰ ਚਰਨ ਗਹੀਜੈ ॥੩॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰ ਮੰਿੁ ਤਚਿਾਤਰ ॥ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਤਹ ਸਾਚੈ ਦਰਿਾਤਰ ॥੪॥੩੨॥੧੦੧॥ Do not say that anyone is good or bad.
Renounce your arrogant pride, and grasp
the Feet of the Lord. ||3||
Says Nanak, remember the GurMantra; you
shall find peace at the True Court.
||4||32||101|| 186
No arguments
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਸਾਚੀ ਹੁਜਤਿ ਦੂਤਰ ॥ ਿਹੁਿੁ ਤਸਆਣਪ ਲਾਗੈ ਧੂਤਰ ॥ Receiving the True Teachings from the Guru,
arguments depart. But through excessive
cleverness, one is only plastered with dirt.
Don’t look for praise or be affected by
blame
ਉਸਿਤਿ ਤਨੰਦਾ ਦੋਊ ਤਿਆਗੈ ਖੋਜੈ ਪਦੁ ਤਨਰਿਾਨਾ ॥ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹੁ ਖੇਲੁ ਕਠਨੁ ਹੈ ਤਕਨਹੂੰ ਗੁਰਮੁਤਖ ਜਾਨਾ ॥੨॥੧॥ Renounce both praise and blame; seek
instead the state of Nirvana. O servant
Nanak, this is such a difficult game; only a
few Gurmukhs understand it! ||2||1|| 219
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਜਗਿ ਮੈ ਤਕਨ ਜਤਪਓ ਗੁਰ ਮੰਿੁ ॥੫੬॥
Says Nanak, how rare are those who chant
the Guru's Mantra in this world. ||56|| 1429
ਸੋਈ ਸੇਤਵਹੁ ਜੀਅੜੇ ਦਾਿਾ ਿਖਤਸੰਦੁ ॥ ਹਤਰ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਸਾਧੂ ਦਤਸਆ ਜਪੀਐ ਗੁਰਮੰਿੁ ॥ਤਕਲਤਵਖ ਸਤਭ ਤਿਨਾਸੁ ਹੋਤਨ ਤਸਮਰਿ ਗੋਤਵੰਦੁ ॥ ਮਾਇਆ ਸੁਆਦ ਸਤਭ ਤਿਤਕਆ ਹਤਰ ਮਤਨ ਭਾਵੰਦੁ ॥
Serve Him, O my soul (mind), who is the Giver and the Forgiver. All sinful mistakes are erased, by meditating in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe.
The Sadhu has shown me the Way to the Lord; by chanting the GurMantra.
The taste of Maya is totally bland and insipid; the Lord alone is pleasing to my mind. 321
