Guru Nanak Prakash - 9
On religious front he promoted the oneness of God and rejected the idol worshipping and multiplicity of God. For him praising the God also called Simran is the only way to understand His Truth. His belief that the Almighty while creating us human beings has put a part of Him in us and by Simran we awaken that part of Him within us. By awakening his presence within us we can abandon ego called 'Haume' in Gurbani from our mind. Once the ego is abandoned we become humble and humility guides us to understand the equality of human beings. Once we understand that all are equal irrespective of gender, caste or class we shall understand that we have to labour for our earnings called 'Kirat Karni' in Gurbani and those earnings which we earn from our labour should be shared 'wand chhakna" in Gurbani with those who are unable to earn. On social front he promotes Congregational worship because that gives us the company of virtues people - 'sadh sangat ' and he promotes 'langar' and 'pangat' that is to cook and eat food sitting in a row irrespective of caste, gender or class. While doing that we abandon our ego become humble and understand that God has created us equal.
