From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Guru NanakThat one plant should be sown and another be produced cannot happen; whatever seed is sown, a plant of that kind even comes forth.
Guru NanakThe production of children, the nurture of those born, and the daily life of men, of these matters woman is visibly the cause.
Guru NanakEven kings and emperors, with mountains of property and oceans of wealth - these are not even equal to an ant, who does not forget God.
Guru NanakMake of the Silence your to-do tasks, of the compassion your wealth and of the meditation your beggar's bowl.
Guru NanakLet God's grace be the mosque, and devotion the prayer mat. Let the Quran be the good conduct. Let modesty be compassion, good manners fasting, you should be a Muslim the like of this. Let good deeds be your Kaaba and truth be your mentor. Your Kalma be your creed and prayer, God would then vindicate your honour.
Guru Nanak
