Guru Nanak elaborates on the Creator being Nirbhau.īhai vich pavan vahai sad vaau - sagliaa bhau likhiaa sir leykh. These laws have not been in fear of, i.e. The Creator made the laws of nature, pre-existed them and hence is not subject to them. Karta Purakh – the Creator who is all-pervasive. Kirtam Naam as numerous attributes of the Almighty. My mind, ever remember and comply with Divine writ/Hukam. This is to be kept in mind for compliance. Sat Naam – God, whose writ is inevitable.

The Almighty is the lone Supreme authority. The One Naam is Hukam, commands or authority. Guru Sahib says:Įyko Naam hukam hai Nanak satigur deeaa bujhaaey jeeo. The second is Sat Naam, meaning eternal Naam or authority, i.e. O Almighty, You have numerous names and countless forms it is not possible to count Your virtues/attributes.

The fifth Guru says “ Nanak key ghar keyval naam” M 5, p 1136. Of all the religious practices, the most sublime is to remember and conform to Naam or virtues and commands of the Almighty. Gurbani says is religion should make better human beings. Therefore, all religions in their pristine form are desirable to follow. It is also a fact that religion teaches ethics and religious organisations are always the first to provide succour to people in case of disasters natural or otherwise. However, dogmas do not form basics of any religion, and are later additions. Some people link it with religion, some people do not, thinking religion is only dogmas, superstitions and rituals. It covers ethics, peace, and tranquillity. Spirituality is a broad term covering living by higher values. Guru Nanak’s concept of Practical Spirituality
