Baba Guru Nanak emphasised 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 based on the pursuit of active life with a strong sense of social commitment.

He 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.

He gave importance to right-belief and worship, honest living and helping others.

Guru Nanak, thus, promoted the idea of equality.

Your 'Very BIG' Answer:

Guru Nanak's Major Teachings Are-

1)There is one God-

This is perhaps the foundation of all of Guru Nanak's teachings. He says there is only one God who is the Supreme Truth and ultimate reality. He known no fear and does not have any enemies. He is self created and is beyond time. He reveals himself to the created beings through His own grace.

2)Ego is a deterrent of spiritual progress-

Ego is a highly dangerous phenomenon in humans. Engage in worship of the ultimate reality. The word of God can cleanse you and move you in spiritual advancement. Falsehood and hypocrisy are highly prevalent among the humans which needs to be purged of through spiritual pursuit.

3)The three guiding principles to spiritual life-

1. Vand Chhakkna: Always share what you have with others. Help those who are in need.
2. Kirat Karna: Earn money honestly and without ever resorting to fraud or exploitation.
3. Naam Japna: Always remember God and practise ceaseless devotion to Him by constantly chanting His name.

4) All humans are equal-

Equality of humans is the crux of Guru Nanak's teachings. There are no caste, creed or religious differences whatsoever. Never discriminate people on the basis of race, status and caste. To illustrate his teaching Guru Nanak started an institution called Langar that promoted sitting together and eating without any distinction and differences.

5) The greatness of womanhood-

Men and women are equal. In fact, women are even more respectable since man is born to a woman, he is conceived within a woman; he is married to a woman; he makes friend with woman; his future generations depend on women; when his woman dies, man seeks another woman and is bound to her. Woman also create other women and they mother great kings of the world. Without women there will not be anyone on this earth except the Lord. Therefore, respect her and never call her bad.

6)The ideal religion-

The ideal religion is that which does not advocate rituals, caste system and idolatry. See the omnipresent god everywhere, love all humans and serve them in all possible means. The essence of religion is engaging man to constantly remembering the divine at all times and at all places. This shall redeem him and make him complete. Follow the light within and march in the path illumined by it.

7) The path to God-

God is beyond the perception of the senses and none can every approach him through reason even when toiling for ages and ages. Without the help of a Guru, none can cross the ocean to the other shore. His grace shall remove delusion and illumine your path to divine.
