DEHURA MASEET SOl, POOJAAOU NIWAAZ 01.<br />

MAANAS SABHE AIK PAl ANAIK KO BHARMAO HAl.<br />

The Temple and the Mosque are one and the same, The worship of<br />

Hindu ways and the Namaz (Prayer as per Islam) are one and the<br />

same. All human beings are just one and the same, but there is an<br />

illusion ofdifferellt entities.<br />

AVAL ALAH NOOR UPAAIYAA KUDRAT KAI SABH BAN DAY.<br />

AIK NOOR TAY SABH JAG UPJIYAA KAUN BHALAY KO MANDAI.<br />

First, Allah (God) created the Divine Light; then, by His Creative<br />

Power, He made all mortal beings. From the One Light, the entire<br />

universe welled up. So who is good, and who is bad?<br />

Bhai Nand Lal in his Tankha Nama puts the dictates of the tenth<br />

master as under:<br />

KHALAK KHAALIK KI JAAN KAI, KHALAK DUKHAVAI NAAHE<br />

KHALAK DUKHAI JO NAND JEE KHAALIK KOPAI TAAHE.<br />

Treat all human beings as Lord:'! creation anddon't hurt anyone S<br />

feelings and sentiments. Nand Lal says who so ever hurts, causes<br />

griefto others, faces the wrath ofthe Lord.<br />

or<br />

JAGAT MAAHE, HAl PANTH SU JETE,<br />

KARE NIND NAIHAN KABHUN TETE.<br />

Whichever religions or sects are there in the world, do not ever<br />

undermine or condemn any ofthem.<br />

Thus it is amply clear that there is no place ofhatred towards any<br />

one in the tenets of Sikh religion. It is all based on love, affection,<br />

equal and kind treatment towards all, and coming to the aid ofanyone,<br />

particularly the oppressed, in the hour of need. It stresses for sharing<br />

your bounties with the fellow beings on daily basis. Even taking of<br />

food, without sharing the same with others is not an approved act. To<br />

hurt the feelings of others or to look down upon other religions is<br />

strictly prohibited.<br />
