Re: Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct:


Code of conduct is a set of rules.

Definition of 'Code of Conduct' as per Dictionary: A set of principles and expectations that are considered binding on any person who is a member of a particular group.

In my understanding Gurbani is Code of Conduct for a Bhagat/Sikh/Devotee.

A certified Code for every Human who becomes God's Devotee(God Oriented) with His Grace. This Code of Conduct can be used by anybody irrespective of color/cast/religion/language.

I am starting to collect Gurbani verses those particularly lay stress on a certain behaviour and help us shape our conduct as a true servant of God-Gurmukh.

ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥
sochai soch n hovee jae sochee lakh vaar ||
By washing/cleaning, one cant be cleansed, even by cleansing hundreds of thousands of times.


ਚੁਪੈ ਚੁਪ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ ॥
chupai chup n hovee jae laae rehaa liv thaar ||
By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.


ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ ॥
bhukhiaa bhukh n outharee jae bannaa pureeaa bhaar ||
The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.


ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਤ ਇਕ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
sehas siaanapaa lakh hohi th eik n chalai naal ||
Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end.


ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥
kiv sachiaaraa hoeeai kiv koorrai thuttai paal ||
So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away?


ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
hukam rajaaee chalanaa naanak likhiaa naal ||1||
O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||

Gurbani eis jag meh chaanan
Gurbani har alakh lakhiayaa
Gurbani Gavo Bhaee
charan kamal parabh kay nit Dhi-aava-o

Here Guru Ji is telling us:

Outer Cleansing doesn't help in cleaning the inner malice. Real cleaning needs to be done, that is Mind needs to be washed off of the malice.

By remaining silent(not talking to anyone) the ever chattering mind can't be stopped from wandering around. Real silence has to be observed, that is mind needs to be stabalized.

By staying hungry, observing fasts, one cant stop the hunger of the mind.

Thousands of worldly clever tricks do not go with a person, in the end. They are of no use when you actually need help.


For a Truthful person there said to be four main qualities: His Mind is Clean(devoid of Malice). His mind is stabalized. He is satisfied. All his needs are met(nothing is impossible).​

To get all those qualities one need to come under God's Command. There is no other way like- fasting/observing silence etc.​


Surrender. Accept all that is happening-as He is The Karta Purkh-Ikoankaar.​

Thankyou much for reminding everybody about our real 'task to do'

Obeying Him, accepting His will:

We need to remind ourselves on a daily basis(may be even on an hourly basis) that we have no will of our own at any time, for any matter. This is the begining. Sweep I,My,Mine(limitedness) out and bring HE,HIM,HIS:ALL(infinite) in.

:)Connect with Gurbani:Word of God, HIS WORD:).

By repeating Gurbani Tuks that remind us about HIM: KARTA, The Creator.

Trying to Kill 'I' without the Guru is impossible. Gurbani is 'The Word of God', 'The Guru', 'The Creator Himself'. By connecting to His Word(that is He Himself) it happens. Without the Guru every effort leads to dilusion only.

Gur Bin Ghor Andhaar.

Let us Pray to Him to reveal His Will to us moorakh, mughad ajaans.
