About this Quote

Guru Nanak was a spiritual leader and creator of Sikhism. He was understood for his mentors of equality and justice. This quote is a reflection of his beliefs and worths. He is stating that he is not bound by any social or spiritual categories. He is not a child, a boy, or an ancient, and he is not of any caste. He is not restricted by any of these labels, and instead is totally free to be himself.

Guru Nanak's message of equality and justice is still pertinent today. He was ahead of his time in recognizing that all people are equivalent and ought to be treated as such. He was an advocate of the concept that everybody need to be respected despite their age, gender, or social status. His words are a tip that we should not be bound by labels or stereotypes, however instead ought to be complimentary to be ourselves. We should strive to deal with everyone with respect and dignity, no matter their background.
