[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 67018, member: 5290"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Poetry starts welling out from the mind at a young age. As soon as poetry started forming in his mind, he commenced writing about the story of the new emerging society whose foundation was laid by Guru Nanak. His sensitive mind quickly concluded that Guru Nanak had in fact organised a new "[I]Nirmal [/I](pure) [I]Panth[/I]". This was an entirely new dispensation differing from all existing religions and sects. He studied the all-important existing religions and their interactions with one another to understand the reasons which lead Guru Nanak to embark upon the creation of a new path or movement.
