Guru Nanak made use of all the philosophical streams of thought as had advanced into his time and defined God in different terms. His principles eliminated the need of gods and rituals. His was a balanced approach: a mind free from prejudice and personal ego, and the ability to differentiate between good and bad essential qualities to the generation of love, compassion, and truthfulness.
