Description
The compassion for others makes one a great man. The books of the wisdom say that the tress bear fruit for others, the rivers carry water for others, similarly the great souls are born for the benefit of others and to redeem the mankind.
This book treasures the life stories of three such great souls who delivered the contemporary societies from social evils and the religious tyrannies to show each a new path that led to a new world of understanding, love and compassion.
Mahavira gave a wider meaning to non-violence. Gautam Buddha gave the message of love, peace and compassion. Guru Nanak Dev fought against religious exploitation of masses through rituals and blind faiths. He preached the equality of all human beings. They were true messiahs of the mankind.
A truly religious one is who does not commit any violence. The non-violence is the foundation of a real religion. No human likes pain and so do all creatures. One should be honestly considerate to everyone and all creatures.
One who is awaken is fearless. He has attained Boddhisatva. He knows that all his worries, pains and ambitions are immaterial. Remember, the truth is sublime and sweet. The truth can liberate you from all miseries.
Noble deeds be your Qaba, the truth be your messiah, God’s mercy be your prayer and His will be your string of beads. Then, says Nanak-Allah will protect you.
