How shall we be saved!" "By shunning the ways of the manmukh," said Guru Nanak. "Pray, unfold to us the ways of a manmukh." The Guru replied, "Recognize a manmukh by his four traits, viz. envy, pride, backbiting and aversion to good counsel.

Bhai Bhagata and Bhai Japu, continues the Bhagat Mala, practised the precept and attained liberation.
