The Soul According to Guru Nanak: A Life of Surrender
Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, offered a profound and timeless understanding of the soul. He saw the soul not as an isolated entity but as a divine spark—a drop of God’s infinite ocean. For him, the soul’s ultimate purpose is to transcend its sense of separateness and return to its source, Waheguru, the Creator. This journey is not one of conquest or control but of surrender, devotion and unity.
