A poetic tribute to The Almighty Majesty : *One GOD of All, in All, for All* : presented by Amarjit Singh Anand ‘Anjaan’ (the ignorant).

Prior to presenting the poem, I should say I realize, absolutely well, that this poem has been blessed upon me, based on my humble understanding of The Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji wherein are enshrined Sacred Tenets in the form of lyrical Hymns, composed by Gurus, Saints, Seers, Mystics bearing adherence to several Religions/Faiths, yet ALL speaking in absolutely ultimate UNISON about ONENESS of GOD and about Unification of Humanity. I would be indulging in sheer self-aggrandizement if I failed to state anything about the Divine Words in The Scripture, in the Hallowed Praise of GOD, which inspired me to write, rather I must emphatically write that this poetic composition has been dictated to me and *I have, merely, penned it*.

All humans can live in harmonious coexistence, only when and if we abide by the Sacred Tenets, enunciated by all of our Exalted Revered Prophets, Gurus, Avatars, Saints, Seers, Dervishes, Mystics. We shall be empowered to live a blissful life when we strive to create a good life for everyone, by following the Divine Teachings like compassion, empathy, love, peace, goodwill, patience, tolerance, acceptance, equality, humility, liberty, fortitude, justice and fair play, considering that the entire humanity is the creation of Our One Omniscient Creator, who commands us to practice equality, without succumbing to the temptation of greed, hatred, jealousy, avarice, malice, tyranny, domination, betrayal of faith, breach of trust, whether in the family and community or even amongst total strangers, because we must remember that we are all one; we are all inter-connected and our destinies are entwined with one another.

Guru Nanak reformed several tyrannical rulers, vociferously advocated human rights and women’s rights, brought about social revolution, by speaking out against slavish mentality, superstitious beliefs, hollow ritualistic practices, religious bigotry and suppression of the downtrodden social and economic classes.

Freedom cannot be awarded and attained by mere rhetoric of sloganeering or by guarantees in written constitutions of nations. Freedom is important for all humans, as it is their birthright. If the person or group at the helm of affairs of a government so decides, then freedom could, easily, be denied under a monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship, fiefdom, aristocracy, autocracy and dictatorial firms of governance. The dictum of ‘Live and let Live’ gets thrown to the winds. Domination and discrimination of all varieties become rampant, rather it is the order of the day, if I may put it, succinctly. Anarchy rules the roost, in such circumstances. Freedom could even be denied under the best-known form of government, which is a parliamentary democracy. However, verily this best form could be transformed into the worst, when a government, duly elected by the people, eventually, turns out to be worse than invading armies or when an elected Parliament functions on the orders of a nation’s defense forces, whose designated mandate was only to defend the borders and the sovereignty of that nation. Besides political freedom, each and every human has the natural right to their aspirations and expressions. Only then would everyone be empowered to enjoy the bliss of a healthy and productive lifestyle, whose components are emotional, mental, and psychological health. Freedom to practice religion, faith, belief, tradition, custom, rituals of their liking are equally paramount. Freedom of thought and expression is the natural birthright of all. The practices of amnesty and of diplomatic immunity are really very abhorrent, as these undermine the very premise and concept of human rights.

The title of Divine Kingship can well be used while discussing Persian Emperor Cyrus the Great and Sikh Emperor Maharaja Ranjit Singh, both of whom stand out amongst the Greatest rulers, who treated their subjects with fair play, equality, justice, respect and benevolence. Wisdom was their hallmark.

Nobel-laureate, Sir Rabindranath Tagore prayed: “Where the mind is without fear and the head held high; Where knowledge is free; … Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action; Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake”.

Guru Nanak Ji, The Enlightened Preceptor traversed various continents, covering 27,000 miles during his five global Holy-Travels, investing 25 years of his 70-year sojourn on this planet, for the good of humanity, by fostering Goodwill amongst divergent races, traditions, cultures, religions. He was the pioneer, enunciating the cause of Inter-Religious Peace and Harmony. His Tenets emphasize upon truthful living, humility, liberty, equality, justice, compassion, honest earning, serving the needy selflessly and protecting the weak and the meek. All this, he said, would be tantamount to a Divine Life and real, true, actual worship and attainment of GOD and fulfillment of the purpose of human-birth. Guru Nanak was on a Divine Mission. He was a Spiritual Maestro, a Renaissance-Man, a Crusader for Interreligious Amity, an extraordinary social-reformist much ahead his era and yet he utters the absolute Truth that “he is, what he is, only because of the Gracious Mercy of The Almighty and he is nothing without GOD.” In other words, the Divine Guru is teaching humanity to live by practicing and embracing humility.

Guru Nanak reformed several tyrannical rulers, vociferously advocated human rights and women’s rights, brought about social revolution, by speaking out against slavish mentality, superstitious beliefs, hollow ritualistic practices, religious bigotry and suppression of the downtrodden social and economic classes. Two of the ten Gurus had to take up arms, to protect the masses from the extreme persecution and tyranny of the ruling elite. The sixth Guru Hargobind Sahibji and the tenth Guru Gobind Singhji, along with their disciples were the Saint Warriors. The fifth Guru Arjan Sahibji and the ninth Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahibji embraced martyrdom, for refusing to follow the diktat of the barbaric regime. Such events forced the sixth and tenth Gurus to raise a martial force, the army named The Khalsa.  Guru Nanak Sahibji enunciated the Divine Tenets thus: “Human interactions must be replete with *Divine-Love & Godly-Light*, Lifelong-Learning, Humanitarian-Service, Spirit-of-Sharing, Peace, Amity, Goodwill, Tolerance, Harmonious Coexistence, Acceptance and Understanding. He traveled far and wide, to have discussions with Saints professing divergent faiths and he collected their spiritual poetry to be included in The Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, much later, by his fifth embodiment, Guru Arjan Sahib Ji.

Similarly, the Divine teachings of Sree Ram Chandra, Sree Krishna, Prophet Moses, Prophet Messiah Jesus of Nazareth, Prophet Hazrat Mohammed, Siddharth Gautam Buddha, Jain Tirthankar Mahavir and all Prophets and Saints are for the entire humanity and not merely for those who say they are the followers of a particular Prophet. All Prophets were expansive in their Vision & Mission, and made concerted endeavors towards fostering Peace, Equality, Liberty, Justice, Compassion, by shunning all varieties of discrimination, domination, bigotry, tyranny, bias, and prejudice.

Illusion has made me blind; YOU, the Merciful are always kind.

Please gift me the vision, so I can see;

YOU were, YOU are, YOU shall eternally be.
