‘the praise of the Timeless One’) is the name given to the second Bani (sacred composition) present in the second holy scriptures of the Sikhs called the Dasam Granth.
At various points in this composition, Guru Gobind Singh speaks out against the belief that some people are superior to others, by virtue of belonging to a particular religion, region, history, culture, colour or creed.
To us Protector there is given The timeless, deathless Lord of Heaven; To us All-light's unvanquished might, To us All-time's resistless flight; But chiefly Thou, Protector brave All-steel, wilt Thine own servant save Within the Manglacharan Puran, Guru Gobind Singh further does a Teeka of the Akal Ustat, as Baba Binod Singh had asked Guru Gobind Singh what the Bani meant in terms of spirituality.
[5] Occasional references are made to the Abrahamic mythology found within the Quranic texts and practices of Muslims.
