Guru Nanak Jayanti 2019: 5 teachings by Guru Nanak Dev that will nourish your soul

Guru according to him is the voice of God, the true source of knowledge & salvation. He says there is only one God who is the Supreme Truth and ultimate reality. He knows no fear and does not have any enemies.

Ego, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Lust, these are the 5 evils that one should shun. Any of this 5 evil, makes life miserable. 

Vand Chhako- Sharing with others, helping those with less or those who are in need.

Kirat Karo (work diligently)- Earning/making a living honestly, without exploitation or fraud.

Naam Japo (contemplating God's names)- Meditating on God's name to control the five evils and living a satisfying life.

You need a mentor to guide you on how to live right. In Guru Nanak Ji’s words, living right is much superior to visiting pilgrimage destinations.  

Being selfless is the supreme duty of human beings. For Nanak, the concept of selfless service was a way of life. Everyday Golden Temple feeds thousands of people of all religions selflessly because it is a sacred duty.
