1 1.Never forget the poor. When Nanak was 12, his father gave him Rs. 20 to
set up a business. Nanak bought food worth Rs. 20 and gave it away. When his
father asked him about this investment, Nanak told him it was a "true
business".
2.There is one God. Using religion to segregate people into
categories is awful
3.Women are equal to men.
4.Running away to a forest won’t give you
enlightenment.
5.These five evils are probably ruining your life.
a. Ego b. Anger c. Greed d. Attachment and e.
Lust.
Most, if not all, suffering of big city
life comes from these five evils.
6.Find your own mentor. You need a mentor to guide you on how to live
right.
7.Be selfless. The Punjab Golden Temple
feeds over a 100,000 people of all religions every single day. Not because
there is some divine gain, but because it is a sacred duty. For Nanak, the
concept of selfless service was a way of life.
8.Fight superstition of any kind. Nanak devoted his life to attacking formal
rituals, caste, and practices that didn’t make any sense. This is the simplest
way you can find meaning and purpose in your own life – cutting out the clutter
of what society dictates you should do.
9. Simplicity is beautiful.
1. Sharing with others
2. Making an honest living
3. Remembering God at all times
10.Travel. There is much to be gained from your journeys. At a time
when religious leaders never ventured out of their villages, Guru Nanak walked,
yes, walked, to Iraq, Ladakh, Tibet and Saudi Arabia!
