Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Jee’s Handwriting/Nishan


Before heading towards Punjab Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Jee gave the following loving advice to the emotional Sangat of Patna. Who were naturally at loss by Guru Jee’s physical departure from their eyes.



----- Make your life Clean/Pure, Your Work Righteous, Your Business honest and your life for goodness.

----- Keep Love and Mercy with you

----- Keep Control of yourself

----- Do not Hate anyone. When someone has hate, this hate in a way becomes hate towards Vahiguru.

----- Do Seva Humbly

----- Pray only towards Akaal

----- Jaap to be done of only True Naam the creator

----- Keep Control of the Five and not to keep desires near you

----- Stay above Longing, Yearning, Pain-Well being and you will be released from the cycle of Birth and Death

----- Life is not for taking but for giving

----- Be like the Sun sharing light all around

----- Give up Houme

----- To always have focus on the body is foolish, this foolishness keeps us away from the Lord

Forget everything else but do not forget this



Guru Jee ended of by reciting the following Gurbanee in Raag Sorat
