How the mind of a Sikh should be

From Guru Granth Sahib Ji on ang 1372 - Salok Kabeer Jee

kabeer rorraa hoe rahu baatt kaa thaj man kaa abhimaan
Kabeer, let yourself be a pebble on the path; abandon your egotistical pride.


aisaa koee dhaas hoe thaahi milai bhagavaan 146
Such a humble slave shall meet the Lord God. 146


kabeer rorraa hooaa th kiaa bhaeiaa pa(n)thhee ko dhukh dhaee
Kabeer, what good would it be, to be a pebble? It would only hurt the traveller on the path.


aisaa thaeraa dhaas hai jio dhharanee mehi khaeh 147
Your slave, O Lord, is like the dust of the earth. 147


kabeer khaeh hooee tho kiaa bhaeiaa jo oudd laagai a(n)g
Kabeer, what then, if one could become dust? It is blown up by the wind, and sticks to the body.


har jan aisaa chaaheeai jio paanee saraba(n)g 148
The humble servant of the Lord should be like water, which cleans everything. 148


kabeer paanee hooaa th kiaa bhaeiaa seeraa thaathaa hoe
Kabeer, what then, if one could become water? It becomes cold, then hot.


har jan aisaa chaaheeai jaisaa har hee hoe 149
The humble servant of the Lord should be just like the Lord. 149
