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
