GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II deeds. Goodness and evil influence the mind. Evil takes you away from the Lord while goodness takes you near the Lord. But good deeds alone cannot take you out of the cycle of births and deaths. Do good deeds but along with that the prime deed is to recite the Lord's Name. Recite the Lord's Name with love and thus immerse your body soul in the Supreme soul. In this way, you will be respected in the Lord's palace. Not only you but along with you many of your companions will get salvation. After this he said: o Lord, 0 Lord, bade goodbye and then spread a sheet on himself. When the sheet was lifted the body was not there. The flowers on both sides were fresh. The Hindus carried their flowers and the Mohammedans carried theirs.
