Baba (Nanak) came to the pilgrimage centres and by participating in the ceremonies there he observed them minutely.
People were busy in performing the rituals of the ceremonies but since being bereft of loving devotion, they were of no avail.
Having gone through the Vedas and simritis one finds that Brhama also has nowhere written about the Sentiment of love.
To find out the same, the satyug, treta dvapar etc. have been screened.
In kaliyug, the pitch darkness prevails in which many guises and hypocritical ways have been started.
Through garbs and guises one cannot reach the Lord; He can be reached through self-effacement.
The special feature of the Sikh of the Guru is that he goes beyond the framework of caste-classification and moves in humility.
Then his toilsome labour becomes acceptable at the door (of the Lord).
