- क्षत्रियां ही धरम छोड़ियां, मलेच्छ भाषा गही। सृष्टि सब इकबरन हुई, धरम की गति रही॥ नील बरन के कपड़े पहने, तुरक पठानी अमल भया॥ The Kshatriyas have left their religious duties (of protecting the land), as the Muslims have flourished. The whole universe has taken on itself one colour, and religion is in danger; people have begun to wear blue garments and so the Turks and Pathans have become rulers.
- Many other similar lines ascribed to him have been very popular. Like all other Hindu saints, he also has condemned many blind superstitions and foolish customs.
- After Guru Angad, the third was Guru Amardas (A.D. 1574) and the fourth Guru was Ramdas. It is said he had an interview with Akbar, and the emperor is said to have bequeathed a large tract of land to him. On the same land, Guru Ramdas dug out a beautiful lake and built a temple on its bank, which is now known as ‘Amritsar’. Guru Ramdas died in A.D. 1581. The fifth Guru was Arjundev, in whose times Sikhism grew rapidly, for they now had a central rendezvous at Amritsar. Moreover, the growing need of a religious text for this growing sect was satisfied by him by collecting whatever sayings of Guru Nanak he could get hold of along with those of other contemporary saints, and thereby creating an authorized religious book for the Sikhs! This very authorized religious textbook was called by him ‘Gurugranth’ or ‘Adigranth’. In it are to be found the sayings of Kabir as also those of the Maharashtrian saint, Namdev. While the Maharashtrian saint, Namdev, was on a pilgrimage of Punjab, his teaching of the path of devotion (भक्ति मार्ग) and his ‘Abhangs’ (hymns) had a widespread influence there. The striking similarity between his teachings and those of Guru Nanak prompted the inclusion of some of Sant Namdev’s Marathi poems in this ‘Gurugranth’. This ‘Gurugranth’ is in Prakrut, which is now called in Punjab as Punjabi. It was not written in the Devnagri script, which was then called ‘Shastri Lipi’, as it was mostly employed by the learned ‘Pandits’ for writing about scientific topics. Just as for ordinary day-to-day affairs, ‘Modi’ script was employed in Maharashtra till very recently, similarly in Punjab at that time in general correspondence of the common people, a Prakrut script was employed and it served for this ‘Adigranth’. The script was commonly called ‘Lundimundi’. But after the ‘Gurugranth’
