He had great respect for females; and uplifted the position of women by the way of spreading a message, which is mentioned below. From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So, why call her bad? From her, Kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all. O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was recognized for his teachings about worshiping one God. He always encouraged a healthy, peaceful and modest way of living.
