Message: <blockquote data-quote="Astroboy" data-source="post: 63409" data-attributes="member: 4990">Here's Varan Bhai Gurdas: The butcher slaughters the goat; salts the meat and strings it on a skewer. While being killed the goat laughingly says: I have come to this condition for grazing only co{censored} leaves of arid wild plants. What will be the plight of those who cutting the throat with a knife eat the flesh of animals? The taste of the tongue is harmful for the teeth and damages the mouth. The one who eyes another’s wealth or body or slanders becomes a poisonous Amphisbaena. This snake is controlled by the Guru's mantra but the Guru-less manmukh never listens to this glorious mantra. The Manmukh blindly moves ahead, never realizing the approaching deep pit ahead! (note: Amphisbaena is a mythical serpent having a head at each end of its body.) Vaar 37 Pauri 21</blockquote>
