CAN ANYONE PLEASE POST SOME VERY INSPIRATIONAL/SPIRITUAL SHORT QUOTES FROM THE SGGS??

[UntitledSingh]

I really tried to think of one inspiritional quote from the Guru but I couldn't, I seriouly tried and thought about it, because they are all inspiring. From front to back I see nothing but pure inspirition. Thats why I think it is hard for people to reply to this, but here is one quote I have on my computer.

Kabeer, dying, dying, the whole world has to die, and yet, none know how to truly die.

- Bhagat Kabeer Jee

[Dhan Teri Sikhi]

First time I read Bhagat Kabeer Jee's Saloks from Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, on Angs 1364 - 1377, I was just amazed, every Salok just hits you, here are a few of them:

kbIr mwns jnmu dulµBu hY hoie n bwrY bwr ]

kabeer maanas janam dulambh hai ho-ay na baarai baar.

Kabeer, it is so difficult to obtain this human body; it does not just come over and over again.

ji-o ban fal paakay bhu-ay gireh bahur na laageh daar. ||30||

It is like the ripe fruit on the tree; when it falls to the ground, it cannot be re-attached to the branch. ||30||

kabeer garab na keejee-ai oochaa daykh avaas.

Kabeer, do not be so proud of your tall mansions.

Today or tomorrow, you shall lie beneath the ground, and the grass shall grow above you. ||38||

Kabeer, if you must rob and plunder, then plunder the plunder of the Lord's Name.

iPir pwCY pCuqwhugy pRwn jwihMgy CUit ]41]

Otherwise, in the world hereafter, you will regret and repent, when the breath of life leaves the body. ||41||

kbIr mukiq duAwrw sMkurw rweI dseyN Bwie ]

kabeer mukat du-aaraa sankuraa raa-ee das-ayN bhaa-ay.

Kabeer, the door of liberation is very narrow, less than the width of a mustard seed.

Your mind is larger than an elephant; how will it pass through? ||58||

[Guest SScom]

i feel exactly the same way. Bhagat Kabeer Jee's bani really reaches out and touches you so deeply. I always wish of reaching out and hugging him. Amazing . . .

[Dhan Teri Sikhi]

Bhagat Fareed Jee's Saloks are also amazing which are on Angs 1377-1384 of Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, here are a few of them:

I search for my Friend, but my Friend is already with me.

Wear these three robes, O sister, and you will captivate your Husband Lord. ||127||
