Guru Nanak on Sikhism
← Back to Guru Nanak Profile
βGod is every where. He has created us all. He who realizes this is true Hindu or a Muslimβ¦.Although threre are two paths, the Hindu and the Muslim β¦ there is only one God.β
βMake compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot and truth the twist. This is the sacred thread of the soul; if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me.β
βThe impurity of the mind is greed, and the impurity of the tongue is falsehood. The impurity of the eyes is to gaze upon the beauty of another man's wife, and his wealth. The impurity of the ears is to listen to the slander of others. O Nanak, the mortal's soul goes, bound and gagged to the city of Death. All impurity comes from doubt and attachment to duality. Birth and death are subject to the Command of the Lord's Will; through His Will we come and go.β
