Is Guru Nanak For Oneness? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Guru Nanak stood for oneness.
He didn't wear the sacred thread
And stood for casteless oneness.
He condemned the stigma attached
To menstruation and valued
Woman at par for gender oneness.
He dismissed all thoughts arising
From superstition, to uphold
Oneness of wisdom in practice.
He disapproved exploitation
Of the poor by the rich in vogue
And found oneness in society.
No Hindus, no Muslims, he declared
To prove oneness of religions.
He had concern for other living things
With a broad view on life held as oneness.
The Sun and the Moon are the lamps
Of the world, he visualized
To feel oneness of the Cosmos.
However, Guru Nanak made
His subjects wear beard and turban
To be distinct from other folks.
