  2. Do not trouble anybody. Only then will you be honoured in God's Court. (Guru V, Gauri Raag)
  3. God has blessed man with many things, yet he is discontented. He is blind and there is no end to his desires. (Guru IV, Gauri Raag)
  4. Without contentment no one can get true tranquility of mind. (Guru V, Gauri Raag)
  5. One should be contented, speak the truth and practice charity. (Guru V, Sri Raag)
  6. There can be no satisfaction without contentment. (Guru V, Gauri Raag)
  7. Be content with eating bare dry bread and drinking cold water. Do not feel upset while seeing the buttered bread of others. (FARIDJI, S)
  8. Faith and contentment are the food of angelic beings. They alone will see the vision of the Perfect One. There is no place for the idle talkers. (Guru I, S)
  9. One seeks pleasure but gets pain. Why should I chase after pleasure as it is vain?
