- I do not talk about here, I do not talk about their, I will only speak the truth. Had their not been a Guru Gobind Singh, all would have been diminished.
- If we consider the work which Gobind accomplished, both in reforming his religion and instituting a new code of law for his followers, his personal bravery under all circumstances; his persevering endurance amidst difficulties, which would have disheartened others and overwhelmed them in inextricable distress, and lastly his final victory over his powerful enemies by the very men who had previously forsaken him, we need not be surprised that the Sikhs venerate his memory. He was undoubtedly a great man.
