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."
