This article deals with the guidance that the Guru Granth Sahib provides on the topic relating to the use of force. The following Shabads (verse) seek to clarify the position on this important aspect of human exploitation.
ਕਬੀਰ ਜੋਰੀ ਕੀਝ ਜਲਮ ਹੈ ਕਹਤਾ ਨਾਉ ਹਲਾਲ ॥ ਦਫਤਰਿ ਲੇਖਾ ਮਾਂਗੀਝ ਤਬ ਹੋਇਗੋ ਕਉਨ ਹਵਾਲ ॥੧੮੭॥ |
Kabīr jorī kīė julam hai kahṯĝ nĝo halĝl. Ḏafṯar lėkẖĝ mĝʼngīai ṯab hoigo kaun havĝl. ॥187॥ |
Kabeer, to use force is tyranny, even if you call it legal.
When your account is called for in the Court of the Lord, what will your condition be then? ॥187॥ |
ਕਬੀਰ ਜੋਰ ਕੀਆ ਸੋ ਜਲਮ ਹੈ ਲੇਇ ਜਬਾਬ ਖਦਾਇ ॥ ਦਫਤਰਿ ਲੇਖਾ ਨੀਕਸੈ ਮਾਰ ਮਹੈ ਮਹਿ ਖਾਇ ॥੨੦੦॥ |
Kabīr jor kīĝ so julam hai lėė jabĝb kẖuḝĝė. Ḏafṯar lėkẖĝ nīksai mĝr muhai muhi kẖĝė. ॥200॥ |
Kabeer, it is tyranny to use force; the Lord shall call you to account.
When your account is called for, your face and mouth shall be beaten. ॥200॥
