Here's your answer!
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji fell as a martyr to the freedom of consciousness and belief, under the orders of Aurangzeb, a ruler, who with his puritanical views had an attitude of narrow exclusiveness in the matters of religion. Sikhism, of which Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was the Ninth Apostle, has all through upheld the spiritual approach in matters of faith, and its message has been free from the rancour of any kind against any set of beliefs. The great sacrifice made by Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to vindicate the right of the people to profess and practise the faith, meant, in fact, the assertion of the principle of justice for which the ruling Mughal rulers of the day had very scant regard. For this reason, the life, career, and teachings of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib are of immense significance even in contemporary times, when the forces of hate, fanaticism, and tyranny are still very dominant and assertive. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was a multifaceted genius. He was not only a martyr and a prophet but was also a great poet. In addition to his 57 Salokas, 59 of his other compositions (Sabads), written in 15 Raagas (measures) are included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. His hymns deal with the pathos of the human predicament. Though he articulates on the unreality of human passions and possessions, yet his hymns have been a source of spiritual succour and solace to millions of people in their hours of personal grief and affliction. He brightens our awareness of the ephemerality of the material phenomena, however instead of creating a sense of despair and depression, elevates the human mind and imbues it with the hope which permeates the cosmos. He fortifies our faith in human nature and makes it possible for us to rise above the irritants of the immediate problems of existence and keep our attention focussed on the everlasting and eternal.
Answer:
Today marks the martyrdom day of the ninth Sikh guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh, who was executed under on the orders of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, in the year 1675.
Known for his artillery skills and being the protector of the weak, Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh travelled across the country preaching Guru Nanak Dev's teachings.
This day is widely known as the Shaheedi Divas, and the Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh has urged the Sikh diaspora to commemorate Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice for the greater good by following the ideals of secularism and humanitarianism.
Guru Tegh Bahadur composed 116 shabads and 15 ragas, and his teachings have been included in the Adi Granth.
On this significant day, let's look back on some of his quotes and the teachings derived from them:
1. "One who grieves not in misery and delights not in pleasure, who is free from fear and attachment, and for whom gold and dust are the same and who has renounced both praising and blaming (flattery and slander) and is immune to greed, worldly attachments and pride....when the all Merciful Guru blesses a disciple with His Grace, only then does the disciple attain this blessed spiritual state and blends (merges) with the Lord as water with water."
2. "O saints, renounce the Ego, and always flee from lust, wrath and evil company. This is a very difficult path and rare is a pious person who knows how to tread it."
Guru .Bahadur showed the path of divinity to his disciples by teaching them to overcome greed, desire, ego and pain.
3. "One who vanquishes his ego and beholds the Lord as the Sole Doer of all things, that person has attained ' Mukti' (is liberated while living), know this as the real truth, says Nanak."
He guided his followers towards the path of peace. Guru Bahadur taught the world to be content with their life, as everything in the world is "Nanak's doing". He spread the idea of attaining Mukti by making peace with every life-situation.
