Guru Nanak Sahib depicts the absolute authority of IkOankar (the Divine) by describing Emperor Babur and the Lodhi Sultans as instruments of Divine will. This
Sabad also invokes the aesthetics of compassion. The painfully moving
Sabads uttered by Guru Nanak Sahib about the human lives lost during the invasion evoke a deep feeling of compassion in the heart. This
Sabad encourages seekers to be graced to learn to accept the will of IkOankar at all times.
