jo jo keeno ham tis ke daas. prabh mere ko sagal nivaas.
Whoever has been created (by the Divine), I am a slave to them. My Master dwells in all. �Guru Arjun Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 887

Message: This quote tells us the way of overcoming our self-centredness and sense of superiority. All are created from the same source. The same spirit resides in everyone. We are like siblings. We are like children of the same parent.

Once we realise and accept this faithfully, there will be no enemy, nor any opponent. We will consider everyone alike and learn to walk together in a positive way.
