Begging |
 |

| 1. Do not bow to him, Who assumes the role of a Guru and yet goes about begging. Guru I, Sarang Rag |
| 2. Why should he go a-bigging, Who always lives with God? Guru I, Ramkali Rag |
| 3. Seeking happiness, man undergoes much suffering, And enslaves himself to many a man; Like a dog he knocks about from door to door, But never realizes the Nam of God. Guru IX, ASA RAG |
| 4. Says Farid, my Master, may I never go to another man’s door, And if ever I am reduced to such a strait, Then take away this soul from my body. Faridji, Shlokas |
| 5. I serve my Master, And I beg from no one else. Guru I, Dhanasri Rag |
| 6. Woe to him who goes a-begging to another man: He, who begs from God, attains salvation. Guru V, Dhanasri Rag |
| 7. Beg from God All that you need. Guru V, Dhansri Rag |
