{p. 129}

Truth is heaven, falsehood is hell.

Mildness is victuals.

Force is oppression, justice is pure.

God's praises are ablutions, the call to prayer is noise.

Theft is greed, adultery uncleanness.

Patience is humility, impatience deceit.

The right way is that of spiritual advisers; the wrong way is for those who have none.

Compassion is wealth, want of compassion useless.

The sword is for warriors, justice for monarchs.

He who knoweth and causeth others to know these things,

Is, O Nanak, called a wise man.

Upon this the Guru and Mian Mitha separated.
