“I install and consider you as my son,
And create you in human form to spread My faith.
Go and spread the true religion of Mine.
Restrain the people from evil and worthless acts.
Spread righteousness in all places.
Capture and destroy the evil, the wicked and the sinful”.
“For this very purpose did I assume birth understand you,
holy men clearly in your souls.
To spread true religion, to uplift and to save the saints.
And to uproot and kill the tyrants one and all.”

ਲਾਖ ਭਾਂਤ ਮਨੀ ਨਿਰਧਨੀ ਕੋ ਨਿਹਾਲ ਕਰੈ
ਚਿੰਤਾਮਨੀ ਕੇ ਸਮਾਨ ਔਰ ਕੋ ਬਖਾਨੀਏ ।
