246 Guru Nanak

XXI Guru Angad What love is that which attacheth itself to worldly things ?

Nanak, call him a lover who is ever absorbed in God. He who deemeth what is good good, and what is bad bad, Shall not be called a true lover if he proceed in this manner.

Guru Angad He who offereth salutation and at the same time criticizeth God s works, hath made a mistake from the beginning. Both his salutation and criticism are in vain ; Nanak, such a person shall not obtain a place in God's court.

XXI Ever remember that Lord by worshipping whom thou shalt find happiness. Why hast thou done such evil deeds as thou shalt suffer for? Do absolutely nothing evil, look well before thee ; So throw the dice that thou mayest not lose with the Lord , Nay, that thou mayest gain some profit.

XXII Guru Angad When a servant while performing service is proud and quarrelsome besides, And talketh too much, he pleaseth not his master. If he efface himself and perform service, he shall obtain some honour. Nanak, he who longeth for God shall meet Him, and his longing shall be acceptable.
