Guru Nanak

“Truth is the highest virtue, but higher still is truthful living” — championing justice and compassion.

Guru Nanak (1469–1539), founder of Sikhism, advocated equality, truthful living, and devotion to one universal Creator. His teachings — “Truth is the highest virtue, but higher still is truthful living” — champion justice and compassion.

• “There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim — all are children of the One.” (shame that the 10th Guru added a third religion when Guru Nanak intended to bring the Muslims and Hindus together.)
• “Speak only that which brings you honour.”
• “Truth is the highest virtue, but higher still is truthful living.”
• “He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.”
• “Recognize the Lord’s light within all, and do not consider social class or status.”
