Why should he try to compete with the great? Sri Guru Nanak Sahib was a Prophet of the poor, a selfless Prophet of Humility, of the downtrodden, of the outcastes, of the untouchables, of the lepers and of the sick.

No judgement just pure humility During his long journeys to far off places He invariably showered grace on the poor, the sick, the low. All being the children of the same God, he recognised no distinction between Muslims and Hindus, between rich and poor, between high caste and low caste. This greatest Incarnation of Love had come to unite the whole global community in one bond of relationship, in a bond of pure love. A low caste Hindu Bhai Bala and a low caste Muslim Bhai Mardana were His permanent companions.

BELIEF and FAITH is key When in a true spirit of humility we throw ourselves at the Lotus Feet of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, we start experiencing this Grace of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Jee. When we so surrender, we are left with no individual Will of ours. We tune ourselves to the Will of our beloved Lord Satguru. HUMILITY is to surrender yourself, get rid of the ‘I’ and live in the hukam, will of God. charan saran gur eaek paiddaa jaae chal sathigur kott paiddaa aagae hoe laeth hai | A disciple who walks one step towards Guru Jee to take his refuge, and goes to him with devotion and humility, Guru Jee comes forward to receive His devotee by taking a million steps.
