Why disrespect the one who gives birth to the majestic kings of the world.”
5. The Core philosophy of Selfless Service

There is a reason that everyone is born in this world, according to Guru Nanak Dev ji. He states that the Lord has sent us serve our purpose, and all the pain and existential struggle of life is to make use realize that we are here to accomplish something. In case a person is on the right path, the God guides him, and he thought that if everyone believed in the spiritual path and contributed to serving the spiritual path, then the world would be a better place.
