Guru Nanak
Founder of Sikhism
Sayings by Guru Nanak
The Lord Himself is the enjoyer, and He Himself is the enjoyed.
Whatever is in the universe is in the body of the devotee.
The world is burning in the fire of desire, O Nanak, save it, save it, Lord!
Live in the world, but remain untouched by it, like a lotus in water.
The whole world is a manifestation of the Lord.
The Lord is neither male nor female, neither does He have any form or color.
The world is a house of clay, O Nanak, and the soul is a guest.
Without the Naam, life is a waste.
He who serves the Guru, he alone finds peace.
The mind is the elephant, and the body is the rider.
The Lord is within us, but we search for Him outside.
By His Command, all forms came into being, by His Command, life descended into them.
He who sees the Lord in all, he alone is truly wise.
The Lord is the ocean, and we are the fish in it.
The whole creation is His temple.
Without virtues, there is no devotion.
The world is a fleeting show, a temporary abode.
The mind is a mirror, and the world is its reflection.
He who meditates on the Lord's Name, his sins are washed away.
Why call her inferior, who gives birth to kings?
