SHALOK, THIRD Mehler (ADO):
Service to True Guru is fruitful and rewarding, if one is done with his mind focused in it. We obtain the fruits of the desires of the mind and egotism party from within. Their bonds are broken and he is released, he remains absorbed in the True Lord. It's so hard to get the Naam in this world comes to dwell in the mind of the Gurmukh. O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to those who serve their True Guru. 1 THIRD Mehler: The mind is very stubborn manmukh, is stuck in the love of duality. He finds no peace, even in dreams, he spends his life in misery and suffering. The Pandits have aged tired of going door to door, reading and reciting their deeds, the Siddhas have entered their Samaadhi catalepsy. The mind can not control, they are tired of performing religious rituals. Imitators have aged tired of carrying false and bathing suits in the sixty-eight sacred pools. They do not know the state their own minds, they are deluded by doubt and egotism. By Guru's Grace, Fear of God is obtained, by great good fortune, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. When the fear of God comes, the mind is restrained and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is blown. Those who are imbued with the truth are immaculate, its light is attached at the light. Finding the True Guru, one obtains the Name, O Nanak, he is intent on peace. 2 pauri: The pleasures of kings and emperors are nice but they last for only a few days. These pleasures of Maya are like the color of sunflower that is worn at a time. They do not go with him when he departs, however, he carries the burden of sins on his head. When death grabs you and takes you away, then he looks completely awful. Missed an opportunity and not come back in their hands and finally, he feels it and repent. 6Miércoles, 25 Poh (Nanakshahi Samvat 540) (Page: 644)
REFLECTION: "ASCEND TO THE GURU: GUR GAM
" By the Grace of the Guru, the Fear of God is obtained, by great good fortune, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. When the fear of God comes, the mind is restrained and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is blown. "SGGS 644

El SGGS ( Sri Guru Granth Sahib ) afirma que uno encuentra el Satguru con la Gracia de Dios. En otros términos, cuando uno está listo, la Gracia de Dios amanece en Él y "entonces el mortal encuentra el Satguru" automáticamente. ਜਉ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਭਈ ॥ ਸੁਖ ਸੰਪਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮ ਫਲ ਪਾਏ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥: Jaou kirapaa gobind Sukh bhayee sampat fal har naam Paay Satgur rahaaou milayee 1: When God of the Universe became merciful, I found the Satguru, and (as a result of finding the Satguru) got the richness of Sukha (bliss Aatamic spiritual or Anand) and Company Name 1Pause God (SGGS 402). ਪੂਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਤਾਂ ਮਿਲੈ ਜਾਂ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਈ.: Pooraa Satgur milai jaa taa swimming kreyee One is (the realization) the Perfect True Guru only when God's grace is manifested internally (SGGS 424). The important is that - as again stated the Gurbani (SGGS) - one can not be found or can comprehend God without the grace of Satguru! In other words, God brings us to the Satguru, Satguru and the Lord leads us! According to the Guru, the abode of virtues, pride instead of Gurbani in other Eastern spiritual traditions are revered as God himself. So, in essence, the decree of Gurbani is the Divine Grace ("Gur-Prasad", "Swimming" or "Kirpaa") is essential for spiritual realization. ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਇ.: Paramesar Gur ek hai mahi Sabh rahiaa samaai: The Guru and the Transcendent Lord are One and the same, saturating and penetrating between all (sggs 53). Yes, the Guru / God "has many years and the same, saturating and penetrating together" so that we all have the Guru at this moment, whether we know it or not. In other words, the Guru is within, not only in physical presence. Those who know or have understood the Satguru within themselves, are very "lucky - ਵਡਭਾਗੀ." Those of us who do not know (or have not understood) still have much work ahead. Gurbani reminds us not forget that we are never alone in this journey - the Guru / God is always with us. We need to allow him to take our hands. ਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਨਾਲੇ.: Merai Gur naal hai sang Saada: My Guru is always with me, approach your hand (SGGS 394). In short, it is very important to turn to the door of the Guru-Guruward. In other words, up to the Guru is extremely stressed in the Gurbani. In this context, the Gurbani calls us "Gur Gam" proper - the gm of gur. How to become "Gur Gam" is also shown in the Gurbani. First, it is "Gam Gur? "Gur" and "Gam" are two words from the Sánscrito.El term "Gur" is used for God and Guru in the Gurbani. The term "Gam" is not easy to translate into English. Its innermost meaning can be summarized as follows: go, depart, cohabitation, mount, ascend, reach or approach, arrival, access, admission, knowledge, range, extent, and so on. "Second, as defined Guru in Sikhi? Without knowing who is the Guru, how to become a "Gur Gam? Without knowing who is the Guru, one can become Bharam Gam (Bharam = doubt), but not "Gur GAM! Briefly, our Guru is Shabad Sikhi. Was Shabad Guru Nanak Baabaa, and will also be our Guru Shabad. Physical bodies are temporary, so they come and go. But not the Shabad. Fitness is finite and changeable, while the Shabad is eternal, infinite, immortal, immutable, and so on. Any number of finite forms (one form exclusively or combine many forms) can not be equal to the Infinite. So the Guru Gobind Singh Ji called for aceptaramosque the Shabad-Guru is our Guru. Accordingly, it is emphasized in the Shabad Gurbani be harmonized to be in harmony with the Shabad, y sentir la vibración del Shabad - Shabad Bhagti o Gur Bhagti. ॥ ਜਪੁ ॥ ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥: jap aad sach jugaad sach Hai bhee sach Nanak hosee bhee sach 1 Dios,el Satguru es el Shabad (sggs 797). ਸਬਦੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਧੁਨਿ ਚੇਲਾ ॥: Shabad Guru surti Dhun chelae: The Shabad is my Guru. Focusing awareness on this Shabad, I become a disciple (SGGS 943). Third, "Why do we need to become Gur Gam?", One may inquire. As indicated in the previous verses, "Without the Satguru, no one has found God." Further, as repeatedly indicated in the Gurbani, without the Guru, no-Giaan Aatam (spiritual knowledge) necessary to remove the dirt of egotism (Hauman). Thus, one's spiritual life without a Guru is like the life of a child without a mother. In essence, since the Guru "penetrates the core" of our own Being, He needs to be understood in here y ahora - en el estado de Conocimiento intuitivo. ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪੁ ਰਖਿਓਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਆਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ ॥: Bin satgur kine na paayiyo bin satgur kine Satgur paayio vich aap na Kar rakhion Pargat Aakher sunaayiyaa Without Satguru, no one has found God, without the Satguru, one has obtenidoa God. God has placed within the Satguru, Wake ("Pargat") to Him through song and to hear His Name (SGGS 466). Fourth, "How to become a Gur Gam?" One might ask. Shabad Gurbani in the next, for example, reveals how we all can become "Gur Gam." Shab-Gurbani is so dear to the Gurus called "ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਧਾਰੀ" (the stream of Amrit which gives spiritual life or Aatamic Jeevan). Now perhaps we can appreciate about why we urge que lo conozcamos como nuestro Gurú. ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਬਾਣੀ ॥: Amrit sabad amrit har baanee : El Shabad Amrit; el Bani del Señor es Amrit (sggs 119). ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਤੁ ਪੀਤੈ ਤਿਖ ਜਾਇ ॥: Gur kaa sabad amrit hai jit peetai tikh jaai La Palabra del Shabad del Gurú Amrit; bebiéndolo, la sed (de maya) se apaga (sggs 35). ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਮੀਠਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਭੋਗੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰਿ ॥ : Amrit meethaa sabad veechaar la meditación Reflexiva en el Shabad es Amrit. Dominando su ego, uno lo disfruta noche y día (sggs 424). ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਾਰੁ ॥: Gurmukh sabad amrit hai saar Para aquéllos que se han vuelto Gurmukh, el Shabad es el Amrit más excelente (sggs 932). ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਚੁ ਹੈ ਸਚਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥ : Vaahu vaahu baanee sach hai sach milaavaa hoi Waaho! ¡Waaho! es la Verdadera Palabra de Su Bani por que nosotros nos encontramos a nuestro Verdadero Señor (sggs 514). ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਚੁ ਹੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਲਧੀ ਭਾਲਿ ॥ : vaahu vaahu baanee sach hai guramukh ladhhee bhaal : Waaho! ¡Waaho! es el Bani de la Verdadera Palabra. Investigando, aquéllos que se han vuelto Gurmukhs lo han encontrado (sggs 514). ਵਾਹੁ ਵਾਹੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਹੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥: Vaahu vaahu baanee nirankaar hai tis jevad avar na koi: ¡Waaho! ¡Waaho! (maravilloso) es el Bani del Señor Informe. No hay ningún other as big as him (SGGS 515). ਦਰਸਨ ਪਰਸਨ ਸਰਸਨ ਹਰਸਨ ਰੰਗਿ ਰੰਗੀ ਕਰਤਾਰੀ ਰੇ .1.: Givens stop rangée karataaree sarasa haras rang re 1: In this verse, there are four great words -, Paris, Sarasa, riding stables and last DarasanEsta indicates a public or a vision of the Divine or Holy. Indicates a touch or stop Shoh. Sarasa indicates the sweetness (the spiritual sweetness), and you'll delight or Anand (spiritual bliss). Then the Guru Sahib says that is imbued with the Love of the Creator - ਰੰਗਿ ਰੰਗੀ ਕਰਤਾਰੀ ਰੇ. As we can see, first comes Daras, then Paras, then Sarasa, and then you will make. means that first we need to see the Gurbani, then when we read with proper understanding, then turn to our very being. Then sweeten us spiritually and we Enchanted (Anand). Through the power and vibration of Daras (or Darshan), the Guru can contact us. How effective is the communication depends on our inner growth. If we do not have open lines, Givens will not have much time, Paras, Sarasa, and do. Once we assume the diligent study of the Gur-Shabad Vichar with deep (reflection, contemplation, application, etc.), Then one must experience Daras, and Paras. So we like the spiritual sweetness, followed by spiritual Delight (Anand) - Sarasa, and do. ਸਦ ਖੁਸੀਆ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗ ਮਾਣੇ.: Sad khuseeaa Saada rang Ma'an: (In the spiritual realization, one) in life enjoy eternal bliss (SGGS 372). In this last verse, Guru Sahib tells us that singing it even for a moment (ਖਿਨੁ ਰਮ), you become the gm of gur, meditating on it with each breath, one becomes free from fear of death - one becomes free from birth and death, or one is not trapped by The Messenger of Death (ਹਰਿ ਦਮ ਨਹ ਜਮ). Says Nanak, keep this Lord (Word, Speech, Kathaa, etc.) In Kanth (voice, throat or Rasanaa ਰਸਨਾ, etc.) And put a garland around his neck. ਬਾਰ ਬਾਰ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਵਉ . ਗੁਰ ਗਮਿ ਭੇਦੁ ਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਪਾਵਉ .1. ਰਹਾਉ.: Baar baar ke hari gun gaavau Gur kaa Gam Har Bhed its paavaou:: Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord again and again. Meeting with the Guru (Gur Gam), you will come to know the mystery of the Lord. 1Pause (SGGS 344). Last but not least, the SGGS tells us to do what pleases the Guru - Gur kee Kaar (ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਕਾਰ). Gur kee Kaar is essentially acting or doing good deeds in accordance con el Gurmat ( SGGS), nosotros le permitimos al Gurú guiar nuestro Karma. ਮਤਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਰਤਨ ਜਵਾਹਰ ਮਾਣਿਕ ਜੇ ਇਕ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸਿਖ ਸੁਣੀ ॥: Mati vich ratan javaahar maanik je ik gur kee sikh sunee Dentro de la mente las gemas, joyas y rubíes están (es decir, las virtudes Divinas), si uno escucha a las Enseñanzas del Gurú, incluso una vez (sggs 2). ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਸਾਈ ਭਲੀ ਕਾਰ.: Jo tis bhaavai Nanakaa SAAE bhalee Kaar: Whatever is pleasing to His (God), O Nanak, is a good deed (sggs 1239). Here in the above verses, the Guru also says Kaar is good. The Gurbani also urges us to serve the Guru. It also shows us how to serve. According to the Gurbani, how to more effectively serve the Guru is Naam-Simran (meditation on the Name of the Lord). Gurbani also tells us that while we are reading or listening to the recitation of Gurbani to understand unless he has no "magic." Also, in this context, we are repeatedly told The empty rituals, religious garments, etc., not do the trick. ਨਾਮੁ ਹਮਾਰੈ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ .1.: Gur kee sev hamaarai Naam, the Name of God (Naam Japnaa) for me is the Guru's service is (sggs 1145). As a carpenter works with wood, similarly, the way to his disciple Guru - Sikh - a devotee to experience the lasting joy in the eternal service to the Lord. He gives spiritual knowledge (Aatamic-Giaan), teaches the virtues that are necessary for spiritual growth, to free the mind from its dross ("ਚਿਤ ਕਠੋਰ "false ego-sense, Hauman, etc.) Leads him to learn to identify with the intuitive nature of his own mind, and so on. But the question is, why most of us (over 99.9 per percent) is unable to understand the Satguru? To put it another way, why most of us do not become Gur Gam? The Gurbani answers this question in the following Shabad. ਪਉੜੀ. ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਚਿਤ ਕਠੋਰ ਹਹਿ ਸੇ ਬਹਹਿ ਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ ਓਥੈ ਸਚੁ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਕੂੜਿਆਰਾ ਚਿਤ ਉਦਾਸਿ ॥ ਓਇ ਵਲੁ ਛਲੁ ਕਰਿ ਝਤਿ ਕਢਦੇ ਫਿਰਿ ਜਾਇ ਬਹਹਿ ਕੂੜਿਆਰਾ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ ਵਿਚਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੂੜੁ ਨ ਗਡਈ ਮਨਿ ਵੇਖਹੁ ਕੋ ਨਿਰਜਾਸਿ ॥ ਕੂੜਿਆਰ ਕੂੜਿਆਰੀ ਜਾਇ ਰਲੇ ਸਚਿਆਰ ਸਿਖ ਬੈਠੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ ੨੬॥: Pourree Jin ke chit kathor hahi se bahahi na satgur paas Outhai sach varatad aa koorriaaraa chit oudaas Oui val shal kar jhat kadhade fir jaai bahahi koorriaaraa paas Vich sache koorr na gaddayee man vekhahu ko nirajaas Rale JAAI koorriaaree Koorriaar sachi Sikh paas baith Satgur Paurree 26: Those who have density (dense, etc.). ਚਿਤ (consciousness, intelligence, soul, heart, thinking, etc.), Do not feel the Satguru. The truth prevails there, the false consciousness not harmonize with it. By hook or by the curve, they spend their time (in the Sangat of Satguru), and then (there) they return to sit again with the false. Check and see in your mind - Falsehood is not mixed with the truth (in other words, falsehood can not influence the heart of a true person.) The fake will and mixed with the false, while the true Sikhs to go and sit Satguru side. 26 (SGGS 314). "
" By the Grace of the Guru, the Fear of God is obtained, by great good fortune, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. When the fear of God comes, the mind is restrained and through the Word of the Shabad, the ego is blown. "SGGS 644

"The Lord and Master is the Great Liberation of the bonds. The Servant Nanak meditates in remembrance of the Lord, the Inner-knower, Finder hearts. "SGGS 684
God, according to Nanak, is Nirankar - Report and beyond description. But this should not prevent us in our pursuit of him as he is described as Truth and Reality. God becomes a concept and a code of spiritual life. So a Sikh not only believe in one God but also be directed in a way that would help their brothers, fellow human beings doing good deeds and sharing their profits. The Truth 'is indeed high but higher still is true living, "said Guru Nanak. The charity for its own sake is not enough." What benefit is to give alms to one who sins day and gave the charity night? 'Said the king bloody Nanak, Ibrahim Lodi. Nanak said 'Use your intelligence but seeking God and gaining merit, use your intelligence to read and understand what you read and how you give in charity. This is all ... "(I quote from the translation of Khushwant Singh's Hymns' of Guru Nanak in the Orient Longman, 1991 edition) The Sikh way of addressing God, put your trust finally complete and generous surrender to God and singing (and thinking) in his name contained in the Mool mantra, a conclusion is enlightening .. 'I have no miracles except God's name' Nanak said 'that destroys the suffering of evil action, give glory and allows one to become true, happy, enlightened, and what it's like bathing in the 68 places of pilgrimage. "This recitation cosmic vibrations would allow one to find God within himself. But first you have to conquer the 'mind and you (then) will conquer the world. " To discipline the mind Nanak's hymns about God heard at dawn, which is the ideal time to do it for communication with God is best. Only then "the mind becomes the store name, the truth comes into the soul and the cycle of birth and death come to the end, with the union in God. '. He believed, unlike the current Main Hindu thought, and that such opportunity must be seized immediately and maybe this does not appear again in nuevo.Da paramount importance to understand God's guidance of Master or Guru to whom one should never lose faith. The Guru not only help us understand the existence of God but to master all that was necessary to achieve perfection: self-government, patience, knowledge of God, the mastery of fear and then love of God, prayer and serious faith in God. Although God had created the conditions from which emanate the good and evil, the role of men as Nanak is choose one and avoid the other. The Guru played a vital role in this choice and human care on the right track. The Guru will be loved, however, consulted, respected and revered but never worships him. The Guru would not be considered as an Avatar under any circumstances. There is no priestly class and the pilgrimage was unnecessary - the name of God that He is the real pilgrimage. The Age of Darkness: The Guru Nanak started the path to a new religion during the critical transition of the kingdom of Punjab Afghan Mughal dictatorship. In this, the darkest age (Kaliyuga), the situation of Hindus in the subcontinent was actually pathetic. Not only had they lost their country, they were in danger of losing its identity. Punjab had invaded at regular intervals from the Sultan Mahmud Ghazni (998-1030) first entering the 11 century. His killing of thousands in Somnath set the tone for the Muslim outrage over the centuries. Between ages 11 and 16 was approximately sixty invasions. They killed men, women and children were enslaved and destroyed temples and libraries. In late 15 and early 16 Nanak bears witness to the cruelty of the local kings Lodhi and atrocities of Babar invading army in 1526. Hindus and are abused routinely converted to Islam by the time of Nanak they were only half the population of Punjab. However, once the futility of conversion by force was recognized, task was taken over by the Sufis who tried to bridge the gulf by presenting a more civilized and humane face of Islam. They are beyond the equality promised. Their efforts, though brave and taking a bit of freshness, were less successful than expected. This was also true of a similar movement of Hinduism, the Bhakti movement that under equal Ramananda had Hindus and Muslims as followers. But the cleavage between the two communities was too deep for any significant impact and fundamentally, it is greatly exacerbated under the Mughal emperors Jehangir and Aurangzeb later in the 17 century. Moreover, the Hindu community was full of superstitions and evils mentales.Los limitations as sati and the harsh treatment of widows went hand in hand with a rigid caste structure and divisive. Reign supreme for centuries Brahmins and Hinduism had extremely hierarchical and ritualistic. The writings were in an impossible language to assimilate and in any case, an elitist approach did not encourage people to understand. The type of religion that provided the spiritual sustenance simply did not exist. This is exacerbated by poverty and powerlessness. In the words of Nanak: "Age is like a knife, kings are butchers ... decency and laws have disappeared, the false queen ....., The vocation of priests and the Devil has been read political votes, was singing the praises of murder. Blood pour in place of saffron. "Beyond None received, and only takes a bribe, even the king distributes justice when his palm is greased." And ".. the real men speak the truth and suffer for it, when the penitent can not do penance, when who repeats the name of God is found in infamy." And he concluded: "In the black night of deception, the moon is not really nowhere in sight ... I do not see any way out of this darkness." [The Sikh Gurus, Their Lives and Teachings KSDuggal, UBS Publishers Distributors' SA., New Delhi. 1993] Demand for Unity in Truth: This was the background to the demand of Nanak. An evolved soul as Nanak has in any case, investigated the depths of his soul on a personal level at the age he was born. But how could a man who seeks the truth ignore the miserable condition of the people that were in his time. Nanak's religion reflected this and was therefore both a demand for God and a reaction to the environment. And despite the earlier pessimism, Nanak sought a way out of darkness and had an answer to your request in a message he had extended along the northern India and also elsewhere in Asia (Arabia, Iraq, Turkey , etc). The idea of \u200b\u200ba God was not new to Hinduism or Islam but Nanak emphasized that his message was for everyone. The idea of \u200b\u200bcharity, found in Hinduism but Islam formally in the form of giving alms (zakat) to the poor, is something that Nanak emphasized as fundamental. Beyond the langar or free food for the poor (and others) was a revolutionary way to put this idea into practice as it was to remove the differences between castes and classes. The requirement for humility in Islam (and Hinduism) was symbolically prostrate himself in a mosque (or church) was taken as a step beyond the concept of sewa or service to fellow human beings. The ideal for performing the duty, cheerfully fight what is right and live based on it are also Hindu concepts similar. The genius of Guru Nanak put his instinctive ability to recommend the devotion as the most effective way to clarify or search for the truth. The Gita had proposed three ways to self-realization - knowledge, asceticism and devotion. Nanak was aware that the knowledge of writing, life and God would be beneficial as would be the path of asceticism with a proper Guru as a guide, but he instinctively and correctly chose mostly to the path of devotion as the most suitable for people he had in mind primarily the poor and illiterate population of Punjab. Sure, it worked equally well for others! Persecution of God and salvation would be found thus by asceticism but living in community as a householder in isolation though. The separation meant override those materials that preclude entry of God into the heart just - the excessive desire, lust for money and attachment to the family. This did not mean the family did not want. "It's the world but not 'Nanak had said. Its revolutionary act was to give the mool mantra to all who followed him and anyone else who stopped to listen. Nanak gave freely to the world and this would be a powerful tool for this path of devotion that continues as head of a family! The problem is to have a living Guru 'Solved' in another stroke of genius, he took the trouble of finding a Guru Angad and found. Angad was appointed over his children even though the particular disappointment of his eldest son Sri Chand who was really very pious. He began a tradition of quoting Guruato and by merit and therefore ensured stability at the top, essential for growth and survival of any new religion. Elemental Simplicity: The extensive evidence of his genius not only looked at the simplicity of his message but simple and effective delivery of it. What he taught was pure Hinduism, but without the negative aspects. To save the message He simply rejected the Hindu pantheon though he understood its utility and depth of the message totally behind each deity. They simply were not conducive to a simple and direct message that he was trying to project through their religion. He took his belief in the concept of Karma of Hinduism. He emphasized the positive - that man was a producer, an architect and teacher. In fact these were the same issues emphasized by Hinduism but with the corruption of religion, however, was evident among Hindus who seemed to have become victims and slaves of their destiny. The Gita says that success comes not from luck but from the perfect action . Digging within one's own Self, the infinite potential is released and you win the more subtle aspects of personality, power, dynamism and self-realization. Meditating and chanting the name would be as Nanak, this is assured. His belief in equality before God led him to reject completely the breed as well as differences between Hindus and Muslims. He put it into practice very effectively. He began a practice of eating collectively as formalized under Angad langar system where people of all castes and religions ate. His insistence is that he would not listen to anyone of the public who had eaten together and also (with all others) the langar. Which gave equal emphasis to further was its emphasis on hymn singing in a congregation and his experiment with community living in Kartarpur he founded and which was the curtain where he translated 'the theological and ethical ideas in their hymns to reality 'to Kartarpur not "a passive backdrop for an individual search for liberation." (The development of Sikh Scripture by Gurinder Singh Mann, in India Oxford Books, 2003). This was carried further by his insistence on the obligation of the individual to work towards collective liberation. The Ministry of God: The Guru Nanak traveled far length and breadth of the country and abroad - to Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Mecca and Medina were hit by wanderlust and a desire to spread their message. He set up cells manjis (missionaries) in India and abroad, where a center for individuals strove to spread his teachings. But I was in Punjab where the new religion took its roots. This was mainly because its message, a complex mix of regional dialects - Apabhramshas (a dialect of Sanskrit), Braj Bhasha (language of the Braj region around Mathura, Hindui (the language of Delhi) and a heavy Persian Punjabi, it was the vernacular (which are return the 'Punjabi')! (The development of Sikh Scripture by Gurinder Singh Mann, Oxford Books India, 2003). Guru Nanak after he had traveled the world and its ideas had matured, settled in the Punjab, while in Kartarpur spent the last 15 years of his life. The poetic nature of the hymns also contributed to the popularity of the message. The poetry was pretty nice. One recalls the Umar ibn al Khattab, a passionate opponent early Islam's response to the sheer beauty of the poetry of Muhammad 'When I heard the Quran, my heart softened and I wept and Islam entered into me ... '(Islam, A Short History by Karen Armstrong, the Phoenix Press 2001). In fact Nanak had always preferred to call himself a poet rather than Maestro! But what was unique and entertaining on his poetry with music that could be sung in Ragas prescribed, with the help of willing and talented traveling companion, Mardana, we stole the toilet. Guru Nanak had a sweet personality that added to his impressive appeal. He always kept his dignity which added to his stature. For example, he refused to perform miracles in the case of the King of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodhi. Then when Babar, after jail mistakenly offered bhang (marijuana) in their own special bag, treating it as an equal, he refused because he was intoxicated with the name of God! Penetrating dark eyes that sparkle divinity, his sense of humor for which he undermined the negative aspects of ritual, beliefs and behavior frauds of priests; his friendship with Hindus and Muslims alike, his insistence that the world was a family was cooling. Most of these ideas were not necessarily new, but the genius of Nanak put them in their emphasis. Overall therefore of Sikhism came to be something unique. Nanak's legacy is not forgotten. He was, and is venerated by all communities. When he died the Hindus wanted to cremate and the Muslim burial. The saying goes: 'Baba Nanak Shah FakeerHindu ka Guru, Musalman ka peer. "
