WHY WE SHOULDN’T USE FOUL LANGUAGE OR THOUGHTS
– Guru Nanak Dev ji

People who speak bad (speak negatively, gossip, or use bad language) – their mind and body will be filled with negative energy and they lose love from their heart. People who speak bad become known as negative people and are referred by others negatively too. Negative people, who are void of Love, don’t get any respect in this world and don’t get any place in God’s court. Negative Love-less people should be called fools and they always get disrespected by everyone. People who are filled with negativity or hate but pretend to be nice, and create fake acts of being religious never get rid of their inner dirt of negativity.

People with kind hearts who may appear rough on the outside are great people because their heart is always connected to God and they seek discussions related to meeting God. These people are filled with love whether they laugh or cry, and they look up to nobody but God for support. They always ask God for soul-food of Naam (meditation of God’s name) and have this soul-food when God blesses them. They know that God writes our destiny and God does accounting of good and bad deeds. God puts evil people through a grinder of problems to eliminate their bad habits and negativity.

Dear God: you created this universe, you created life, you created good and evil and you take care of this existence. We shouldn’t forget God who gave us this life. And since we have this life as Human species, we should fix our soul, meaning, we should connect to God and cleanse our Soul.
