- Karta (The Creator) and Karim (The beneficient) are the names of the same God. Razak (The provider) and Rahim (The merciful) are also the names given to Him. Let no man in his error wrangle over differences in names. Worship the One God who is the Lord of all. Know that his form is one and He is the One light diffused in all.
- I came into the world charged with the duty to uphold the right in every place, to destroy sin and evil… the only reason I took birth was to see that righteousness may flourish, that good may live, and tyrants be torn out by their roots.
- Egotism is such a terrible disease, in the love of duality, they do their deeds.
- For this purpose was I born, let all virtuous people understand. I was born to advance righteousness, to emancipate the good, and to destroy all evil-doers root and branch.
- Whosoever assumes a religious garb pleases not God even a bit. O ye men, understand this clearly in your minds, that God is attained not through showmanship. They who practice deceit, attain not Deliverance in the Hereafter. They do so only to accomplish the affairs of the world and even the kings worship them for their appearance! But through showmanship, God is attained not, howsoever one searches. He who subdues his mind alone recognises the Transcendent God.
- Those who call me God, will fall into the deep pit of hell. Regard me as one of his slaves and have no doubt whatever about it. I am a servant of the Supreme Being and have come to behold the wonderful drama of life.
- The greatest comforts and lasting peace are obtained when one eradicates selfishness from within.
- Do not be rash in striking your sword on helpless, otherwise, the Providence will shed your blood.
These are the some of the teachings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and that could be the reason Sikhism is said to be the one among the most generous religions in the world. Happy Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Gurupurab to all !!
