Note: This is a simple Truth and a beautiful verse of Guru Jee, which can be a  test to be applied on ourselves,  in keeping a check on ourselves,  for  if we are heading towards Him, or towards the pitch of dark ignorance guided by our  dense manmukhta.

"Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly."
- Epictetus
*Note: If we pay close attention to these words above, and look it from a sikhee point of view, it can very well mean to us, that our true origin or nature is from Nam/Shabad, so it is our duty to cast off all impurities on our soul with His grace and bhakti, and become whole in Him, as He Himself is.

"Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose."
- Eknath Easwaran
Note: in a way, this is the secret to realize Him, by meditating upon Him Waheguru  alone, with full directed attention.

guroo binaa mai naahee hor.
I have no other than the Guru.

People´s opinion about us maybe not truth about us.
Their opinion is through their sanskars.
If their sanskar is criticism, they will criticize us, even if we are right.
If their sanskar is of acceptance, they will accept us even if we are wrong.
Their opinions reflect their personality.
