Says Nanak,
One who acknowledges the “word”,
Would of the lord,
Know the secret.

Oh! The source of reason, the doer,
Always bless me

Meaning:

People call the lord by different names. Ram, Khuda, Krishna or Allah. The almighty, the doer and the source of the reason. Always keep the blessings upon us. Some people take a dip in holy waters, some go for Hajj (the sacred journey a muslim is suppose to take in his lifetime). People have different identities of being muslims, hindus. They talk of going to heaven and hell. People read “VEDA’s” (hindu scriptures) ,Books. They covert dresses that are blue or white. To purify themselves. Nanak (first guru of Sikh’s) says, that the only fact is that the one who recognizes the truth of the "word" would realize the true Almighty!
