Questions: Bhai Nand Lal Jee
Responses: Guru Gobind Singh Jee
Dohira
Nand Lal queried, “Guru Jee, enlighten me,
Which deed is ethical and which is not becoming.(1)
Dohira
Nand Lal, listen to the premise, the Sikh conduct deems this,
Without the celestial name, ablution and benevolence, a Sikh should
not savour the food.(2)
Chaupeyi
One who does not participate in the true congregation early in the
morning,
Will be adjudged as deserving a (religious) retribution.(3)
The one who participates in the true-congregation half-heartedly
Will find shelter nowhere.(4)
While listening to the celestial glories, (one who) starts idle-talks,
Says Gobind Singh, goes to the hell.(5)
Coming across a poor-man, if he does not entertain him,
He obtains the fundamental punishment.(6)
