Amrit saar.

 The Golden Temple, Amritsar

Nestled in the heart of Amritsar, Punjab, the Golden Temple—also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib—is a radiant symbol of spiritual serenity and Sikh heritage. Its gleaming gold-plated façade rises from the middle of the sacred Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), inviting millions each year into its tranquil embrace. Built in the 16th century by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the temple is open to all, regardless of faith or background, reflecting the Sikh tenet of universal brotherhood. The soothing sounds of Gurbani (devotional hymns) echo through its marble halls, while the community kitchen (Langar) serves free meals to thousands daily. A place of profound devotion and timeless beauty, the Golden Temple is not just a monument—it's an experience of the divine.

जाति न पूछो साधू की पूछ लीजिए ज्ञान ।
मोल करो तलवार को पडा रहन दो म्यान ॥


Kabir Das Ji says, a true Sadhu is considered to be above all kinds of discriminations. A Sadhu is never asked to which caste he belongs to. His knowledge is enough to respect him. Just like the value of a sword is judged on the basis of its edge and not on its sheath, in the same way, the caste of a Sadhu is like the sheath of a sword and his knowledge is like the edge of the sword.


भावार्थ: कबीर दास जी कहते हैं, सच्चा साधु सब प्रकार के भेदभावों से ऊपर उठा हुआ माना जाता है | साधू से यह कभी नहीं  पूछा जाता की वह किस जाति का है उसका ज्ञान ही, उसका सम्मान करने के लिए पर्याप्त है | जिस प्रकार एक तलवार का मोल का आंकलन उसकी धार के आधार पर किया जाता है ना की उसके म्यान के आधार पर ठीक उसी प्रकार, एक साधु की जाति भी तलवार के म्यान के समान है और उसका ज्ञान तलवार की धार के समान |
