Nanak had a huge impact on this development from the very beginning. He emphasized the importance of the
worship of one God. He insisted that caste, creed or gender was irrelevant for attaining liberation. His idea of
liberation was not that of a state of inert bliss but rather the pursuit of active life with a strong sense of social
commitment. He himself used the terms nam, dan and isnan for the essence of his teaching, which actually meant
right worship, welfare of others and purity of conduct. His teachings are now remembered as nam-japna, kirt-karna
and vand-chhakna, which also underline the importance of right belief and worship, honest living, and helping
others. Thus, Guru Nanak’s idea of equality had social and political implications. This might partly explain the
difference between the history of the followers of Guru Nanak and the history of the followers of the other religious
figures of the medieval centuries, like Kabir, Ravidas and Dadu whose ideas were very similar to those of Guru
Nanak.
