    When God causes us to meet the Guru, then we come to see these virtues.

  7. ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥

    Salok, First Guru:

  8. ਪਹਿਲਾ ਸੁਚਾ ਆਪਿ ਹੋਇ ਸੁਚੈ ਬੈਠਾ ਆਇ ॥

    First of all, after thoroughly bathing and washing his body and thus becoming “pure”, (a Brahmin) comes and sits down in the “purified” (kitchen of his host).

  9. ਸੁਚੇ ਅਗੈ ਰਖਿਓਨੁ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਭਿਟਿਓ ਜਾਇ ॥

    The “pure meal”, which no one else has touched before, is placed before him.

  10. ਸੁਚਾ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਜੇਵਿਆ ਲਗਾ ਪੜਣਿ ਸਲੋਕੁ ॥

    Being “purified”, he eats this food, and begins to read some sacred mantras.

  11. ਕੁਹਥੀ ਜਾਈ ਸਟਿਆ ਕਿਸੁ ਏਹੁ ਲਗਾ ਦੋਖੁ ॥

    This “pure” food is thrown into a filthy place (stomach), so who would bear the blame for polluting such a pure meal?

  12. ਅੰਨੁ ਦੇਵਤਾ ਪਾਣੀ ਦੇਵਤਾ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਦੇਵਤਾ ਲੂਣੁ ਪੰਜਵਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਘਿਰਤੁ ॥

    (According to Brahmin’s own belief), the grain is sacred, the water is sacred; the fire and salt are sacred; when the fifth sacred thing, ghee (clarified butter), is added,

  13. ਤਾ ਹੋਆ ਪਾਕੁ ਪਵਿਤੁ ॥

    then the “pure and sanctified” food is considered ready to eat.

  14. ਪਾਪੀ ਸਿਉ ਤਨੁ ਗਡਿਆ ਥੁਕਾ ਪਈਆ ਤਿਤੁ ॥

    when this “pure” food comes in contact with the sinful human body, the pure food becomes so impure (human waste) that it stinks and is spat upon.

  15. ਜਿਤੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਊਚਰਹਿ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਰਸ ਖਾਹਿ ॥

    Similarly, the mouth that does not utter God’s Name and eats relishing food without remembering God,

  16. ਨਾਨਕ ਏਵੈ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਤਿਤੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਥੁਕਾ ਪਾਹਿ ॥੧॥

    O’ Nanak, know this, that such a mouth (person) is spat upon (disgraced in God’s presence).

    How can we call that (woman) evil, who has given birth to all the kings, (queens, saints, and other great persons).

  22. ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੀ ਭੰਡੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਭੰਡੈ ਬਾਝੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥

    (In fact) it is from the woman that another woman is born and nobody is born without a woman
