Guru Nanak Dev Ji; Sikhidsm

Summary:   This essay is about Guru Nanak Dev Ji; the founder of Sikhidsm.


Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the founder of Sikhism. Nanak means nondual, who believes in the unity and identity of the whole universe, which never ends and never begins but eternal. So for I had studied my religion, it is all scientific and modern. He (Nanak) says that human beings and God are inseparable, so service of the people is the worship of God. The unique internal flame enlightens the universal life of the nature. If we conceive this reality then we will witness and observe that all human beings are one.

The objective symbolism of the nature in the form of phenomenon seems to be divertible and contradictory. This is outwardly phenomenon which we see and observe through our ten senses. Theses ten senses are sense of vision, sense of hearing, sense of smell, sense of taste, sense of touch, sense of perception, sense of imagination, sense of conception, sense of wisdom and sense of consciousness. What ever we witness in the phenomenon of nature is the map of reality, but not reality it self.

Because hairs are considered to be symbol of divine enlightenment of internal flame. Third K is Kachh, which is the symbol of coherence and order in nature. This is beyond the phenomenon of nature - the objective symbolism. It means the realm of coherence and order is beyond chaos and disorder. Fourth K is kanga, which is the symbol of cast and class struggle based on culture and economy. This is the natural phenomenon of masses. This principal helps the leader of masses to wage war against injustice and human rights exploitation. The fifth K is Karpan, which is the symbol of sovereignty and to kill justice to the people. It is the symbol of liberty and defense of human rights.

Keeping in view the above version in term of reality, eternity and total piece our aim of life must be two reveal the eternal flame of God so as to reach the haven. God has sent us here in this world to establish piece and prosperity, justice and order and to remove the chaos and disorder to make the w
