The Satgur says: Think of the heart as the very place of worship and the heart is the very abode of the lord. In the very heart resides that lord himself and gives didar in that very heart. 2. The Satgur says: He himself is manifest everywhere and he himself is Ali (a.s.) the generous giver. He himself sees everyone but is away from the heart of the blind. 25. The Satgur says: In whom the Nur (or light) is manifest, he possesses thousands of eyes. He may be surrounded by millions of darkness then too he does not give up the position of truth. 32. The Satgur says: From the mouth (tongue) that recites the name of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) light pours from that mouth (tongue). If one will lie from that mouth, then he is not a true Satpanthi (a person who treads the right path). 91. The Satgur says: Whoever is true, wise and is on the right path, he is always bound to truth. He will stay aloof from gossip and falsehood and will believe from afar. 134. The Satgur says: Obtain Didar of Shah Ali (a.s.) and obtain it with full conviction. Have faith with truth then (you) will obtain the didar of the lord. 160. The Satgur says: My lord will do justice, and forgiveness will be rewarded there. Whoever will adopt pardon and forgiveness in his being he will be saluted there. 209. The Satgur says: Whoever will obey our farman, he is the garland of our neck. We will keep them as the garland of our neck. The happiness of that believer has no limit. 235. The Satgur says: Our Didar is arduous. O people! Keep awake at night. What can sleep do to someone who loves Pir Shams (r.a.). 240. The Satgur says: Truly offer Dasond with your hand. The Satgur says: have true faith. Pir Shams (r.a.) says: we will give him one and a quarter lac times over and will give near the Satgur Saheb (i.e. Imam a.s.).
