· Do not be proud of riches, youthfulness or lineage. (Regardless of maternal and paternal caste or heritage, all of the Guru's Sikhs are siblings of one family.)

· Do as much possible to serve and aid foreigners, those in need, or in trouble.

· Realise that considering a daughter as property is poison.

· Donate a tenth of your earnings.

· Do not ruin anyone's work by gossiping.
