Whatever he has said was said in verse straight from GOD. This was Nanak’s path decorated with true flowers of song, songs of glory and praise of the Almighty Lord.

Singing, often extemporaneously, with all his heart and soul, so much so that his singing became his meditation, his purification and his yugam (yoking ones self to the almighty, to Satguru. Guru Nanak did not practise normal Hindu austerities, meditation or yoga he only sang in the beautiful poetic forms of the time. Guru Nanak’s path was, is & will ever remain decorated with endless rows of true flowers he realised God by singing virtues of God and following a life of true deeds. I will have to sing for lives upon lives before my voice reaches Him.” Nanak resumed his song. “The sparrow-hawk is calling to his beloved how can I be silent, because I am competing with it? I will call my beloved before he calls his – even for longer because his beloved is nearby, perhaps in the next tree! My beloved is so far away.

From the darkness sounded the call of the sparrow-hawk. “Go to sleep, my son, the sun is a long way ahead.” Nanak became silent. She could hear his melodious voice as he sang, restraining herself no longer she knocked at his door. Nanak’s mother was worried because it was pitch dark and day break was far away. Only Nanak was awake and the echo of his song filled the air. Suddenly lightning flashed and thunder sounded as a few raindrops started to fall. It was a dark and moonless night the clouds were heavy with rain as it was the monsoon season.
