1. Ek pita ekas ke hum barak tun mera gur tain (We are children of but one God)
2. Sabbhe sanjhiwal sadain koi na dise bahara jiyo
(Everybody is a part of the same large community; nobody is an outsider)
3. Awwal Allah noor upaiya kudrat de sabh bande, Ek noor te sabh jag upjiya kaun bhale ko mande.
(The entire humanity has originated from the same divine light, so how can there be divisions of good and bad, higher or lower amongst His creatures).
His ideals were:
1. To chant His name for spiritual development
2. To share food with others - to serve and benefit the society
3. To work for personal development and human equality he made it a compulsory condition. All this was for the ideal development of the society. In the course of his longest voyage to the east, Guru Ji visited many temples, pilgrimage centres and caves of holy men. He showed the right path to Duni Chand of Lahore and Sajjan Thug of Tulamba. In Haridwar he advised Brahmins and their blind followers to stop worrying about the salvation of their ancestors? souls and worship God instead. In Vrindaban he held discourses with ascetics and sages of the Gorakh Matta and convinced them of his ideas. Later the place came to be known as Nanak Matta. He met Bhagat Kabir too. From Benaras he went to Patna and then reached Bengal via Gaya. In Dhaka he emancipated Sheikh Ahmed and Chetan Das. From there he went to Chittagong, Assam and to Manipur. During his second voyage he reached Ajmer via Bikaner, Marwar and won the hearts of Moslem saints (Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti) and other ascetics. He went to Hoshangabad, Narsinghpur and Pancham Garhi where he reformed demonic Kauda into a saintly being. He held more discussions with seers in Mangala Deep and Kajali forest. He went to Rang Padam, Bombay area, Somnath, Dwarka, and Rajputana and reached Bahawalpur where he crossed river Sutlej and came to Kartarpur. During his northern voyage he shattered the arrogance of Pundit Braham Das of Kashmir. Travelling via Sirmaur, Garhwal, Badrinath and Hem Kunt he reached the caves of holy men in the Himalayas and said:
"Parja Andhi gyan bin kur kussatt mukhon alai chele saaz vajaonde nacchan guru bahut bidh bhai."
(The followers have nobody to lead them, devoid of wisdom they utter untruths and absurdities. In this frenzy, the leaders are being led by the followers instead.)
During his western voyage Mardana accompanied him. They reached Mecca via Dera Ghazi Khan and Sindh. Here he went to sleep with his feet extended in the direction of Kaaba, the holy shrine. The Hajis were much offended and called him a big sinner. Guru Nanak explained that God or Allah does not reside in one place, he is present everywhere, in every direction.
"Puchan gall iman di, kazi mullan ikatthe hoi, Puchan gall iman di hindu vadda ki musalman hoi, Baba akhe hajiyan sabh amlan bajhon donwe roi."
(The mullahs and kazis gathered to ask Nanak who was higher: a Hindu or a Moslem. Nanak replied a man?s good deeds are the highest.
This counsel of Nanak impressed the Hajis very much. They understood that only one?s good deeds reach the domain of God.
ALLAH MALIK!
