Guru Nanak

The production of children, the nurture of those born, and the daily life of men, of these matters woman is visibly the cause.

Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.

God is one, but he has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He himself takes the human form.

I am not the born how can there be either birth or death for me?

Death would not be called bad, O people, if one knew how to truly die.

Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one's wife alone.

Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss.
