ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਦਇਆ ਕਪਾਹ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸੂਤੁ ਜਤੁ ਗੰਢੀ ਸਤੁ ਵਟੁ ॥ ਏਹੁ ਜਨੇਊ ਜੀਅ ਕਾ ਹਈ ਤ ਪਾਡੇ ਘਤੁ ॥ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਤੁਟੈ ਨ ਮਲੁ ਲਗੈ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਜਲੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਮਾਣਸ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜੋ ਗਲਿ ਚਲੇ ਪਾਇ ॥
Quatrain – (Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji are explaining the meanings of the shabad above) “Understand this sacred thread to be pure but only a few individuals can wear this. This sacred thread made of knowledge should be worn around the heart and this being will be great who has eradicated all the causes of distress.” 22.
“This individual will gain bliss both in this world and the next. They will gain respect from Dharamraj in the righteous court. If you have a sacred thread like this place this around my neck as it will destroy all sin.” 23.
“If one is to put a knot in the sacred thread that you give it then burns with the body once a person is cremated. This is in fact a false action that people do in order to show others but are in fact fools.” 24.

“This ritual has been going since the advent of the demi god Brahma. The four sons of Brahma also wore this sacred thread. If we are to start a new custom then great child stop the old one first.” 29.
“For this reason continue the previous customs of our social castes. Why do you wish to change this?” After hearing these questions from the Brahmins, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji replied in order to make them realise their false reasoning for the sacred thread.” 30.
