Dwell in peace in the home of your own being, and the Messenger of Death will not be able to touch you.
Guru NanakRead
O my heart! Love God as the chatrik loves the rain drops, Who even when fountains are full and the land green, Is not satisfied as long as it cannot get a drop of rain.
Interpretation
The heart should love God with the same longing that a bird has for rain, showing that true devotion comes from deep desire.
This quote by Guru Nanak emphasizes the profound longing and devotion one should have for God, akin to the unquenchable thirst of a bird waiting for rain. Just as the chatrik bird remains unsatisfied despite the surrounding abundance, true love for God is characterized by an inner yearning that seeks a deep and personal connection, beyond superficial satisfaction.
