Guru Nanak's Message

Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains Supreme Bliss.
*
O God, my mind is fascinated with Thy lotus feet as the bumble-bee with the flower; night and day I thirst for them.
*
As fragrance abides in the flower
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?
*
There is but one God, His name is Truth, He is the Creator, He fears none, He is without hate, He never dies, He is beyond the cycle of births and death... He was true in the beginning, He was true when the ages commenced and has ever been true, He is also true now.
*
God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He himself takes the human form.
Sayings of Guru Nanak
Tomorrow is Guru Nanak
Jayanti.
