A small example of his teachings which is so apt for everyone in today's World.
When Guru Nanakji was in death bed both the Hindus and Muslims wanted to give him a burial according to their rites of their faiths. As he was laid on a hill he told his followers:
“I want all Muslims to place their flowers on one side of me. Hindu’s on the other. Whichever flowers are freshest in the morning is the greater religion.”
Everybody became excited about this, to prove that they were better. When everybody gathered in the morning, Nanak’s body had disappeared. However, all the flowers were just as fresh as the others. They were all equal. After that, everyone remembered Nanak’s words:
“Everybody is equal.”
