All the battles I have won against tyranny, I have fought with the backing of the Khalsa
Through them I have been able to bestow gifts,
Through their help I have escaped from harm,
The love and generosity of these Sikhs have enriched my heart and home.
Through their grace I have attained all learning; through their help in battle I have slain all my enemies.
I was born to serve them, through them I reached eminence.
What would I have been without their kind and ready help?
There are millions of insignificant people like me; true service is the service of these people.
I am not inclined to serve others of higher caste:
Charity will bear fruit in this and the next world, if given to such worthy people as these, all other sacrifices and charities are profitless. From toe to toe, whatever I call my own, all I possess and carry, I dedicate to these people
Sarbloh Granth- Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji
