Heritage of Martyrdom - 8
After hearing the details of execution of his father and what happened thereafter Guru Gobindji was perturbed. He was an enlightened soul and understood that seven hundred years of slavery, political and social subjugation and deep rooted reasons- in the division of society that kept Hindus withdrawn from unity, acts of bravery needed some reformative changes. He resolved to create a set of unique people who will not hesitate to lay their lives for a common cause, who will stand united to fight the oppressor, who will lay their lives for the honour of women, who will restore the belief in one God and His creation, who will teach a lesson to the blood thirsty Islamic rulers and who will be equal to their Guru. After attaining all the virtuous characteristics a person reaches those heights where he can stand equal to his Guru- "Appe Guru Chela." Thus the order of Khalsa was ordained and code of conduct for becoming the Khalsa the purest form of Human being was laid. Without any political powers, without any revenue, without any properties, without the support of his Hindu brothers a great task was being undertaken. His resolve was so pure and divine, so vigorous and virile so full of love for the country that all his material needs were small in face of the mammoth task that will awaken a large section of the society to come forward and stand behind him to challenge the tyrant and restore the honour of this country. Make the brave soldiers out of the downtrodden lot that one could says: "sparrows will fight the eagles and one will fight the million and the quarter."
