The Guru Granth Sahib on page 206 has a hymn or Shabad by the fifth master, Guru Arjan which expresses the intense love and deep connections that an enlightened soul has for the supreme cosmic Energy that we call God or Waheguru. The daily mission of the Sikh is to eradicate anger, hatred, vengeance and conflict from their mind and replace this with love, compassion and forgiving.
The Guru tells us "Why waste your life in hatred, vengeance and conflict? (2)" (SGGS p 1176) Further, in simple terms Gurbani tells us not to harbour hatred for anyone in these terms "WAWWA: Do not harbor hatred against anyone. In each and every heart, God is contained." (SGGS p 259) This need to practise love and dispel hate has been supported in the West by many wise people including Martin Luther King, Jr. who said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
