DEMOCRACY
Democracy, the dream of modern civilization was established in this part of Asia in the exact modern sense in the realization of the spirit of Man. And the mortal fallacies which poison the human thought among the Soviets, were avoided by the Khalsa. The Khalsa made democracy its daily practice, driven by the inner feeling, that is reborn of the spirit of the Guru that all men are
brothers. Democracy is not conceived as a social system, but as a true inner spirit-born feeling. Democracy is the moral feeling that naturally wells up in the Informed Ones. The humblest brick-lifter has equal rights of joy and life with the king. A laborer who feels richer than a king and a king who feels poorer that a laborer; this is democracy of the spirit. Their self, their I was realized as the Guru’s self in every Sikh. The glorious Guru Gobind Singh called this commonwealth the Khalsa, his son and daughter and laid the infant in the lap of the Mother- Mata Sahib Devan. Physical birth became by this act of love a negligible accident. And the Khalsa stood bound by its moral rebirth as one individual, one person, the Son and Daughter of Guru Gobind Singh.
