Be content with yourself. Do not strive to be anything else. Let your life flow in service.
#62
When a bird flies too high, its song is lost.
Rather than push upward now, it is best to remain below.
This will bring surprising good fortune, if you keep to your course.
There is no profit to striving here.
To be content with oneself is the greatest success imaginable.
The enlightened person has nothing to prove to himself or others, and thus may always operate from a position of sincerity, with no pretense or posturing. His humility is guileless simplicity. His mourning is selfless compassion. His frugality is an unshakeable faith that he is but a conduit, letting what is needed flow through him to others, with no loss to himself.

“The mind is above time and space. If you decide not to complain, it will immediately compensate you with intuition.”
“AB JAN UPAR KO NA PUKAARE Now, no one complains about the Lord’s servant. Whoever tries to complain is destroyed by the Guru, the Transcendent Lord God. Whoever is hateful against the One who has no hate, shall lose in the Court of the Lord. From the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages, it is the Glorious Greatness of God, that He preserves the honor of His humble servants. One becomes fearless, and all fears are taken away, leaning on the Support of the Lord’s Lotus Feel. Chanting the Name, through the Guru’s Word, Nanak has become famous all over the world. ”
