Guru Nanak’s pure path was nurtured by the successor Gurus. Ultimately the enlightenment spread far and wide. Those confused and wavering joined in hordes, creating envy amongst those opposed to the ideology of the founder of Sikhism. Everyone wished to savour the new enlightenment and to rid off darkness from their lives, leading to Guru Nanak’s truthful path becoming the beloved of many.Ĭonsequently the Brahmans -the then orthodox community couldn’t bear it and tried to suppress it, but how long can a cloud block way of the sun? Just by covering the sun for a while, if the cloud thinks that it has finished the sun, then it’s mistaken.Īs the piercing sunrays tears the clouds and reach the ground, likewise the philosophy of Guru Nanak’s purity reached humankind. Due to the rise of this virtue, the old, simple and stale ideologies vanished and the populace experienced a new dawn.
This religion of Guru Nanak rose with equal status for entire humanity and a novel attitude. In the 15th century, a new revolutionary religion originated which unscreened all prevailing falsehood, illusions and frauds. It is an eternal fact that ultimately truth triumphs and falsehood is defeated.
When the clash between truth and falsehood is equal, then truth has to surpass falsehood through extreme sacrifices.
World history has witnessed that whenever the world was engulfed in the darkness of falsehood, God sends a messenger of truth. The distribution of Chabeel -sweetened water across the Sikh world is our commitment to uphold His ideals and to bring solace to humankind suffering the weather as well as tyranny of the rulers -whenever and wherever. The martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev ji -the first martyr of the Sikhs laid down the foundations of martyrdom which Sikhs follow unto this day.
