Ans. The four sentences of Charles Beard are:
- Anyone whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes him power-intoxicated to the extent of madness.
- The mill of God grinds slowly but grinds extremely fine.
- The bee pollinates the flower it robs of its nectar.
- When it is pitch dark one can see the stars clearly.
The total Sikh history can be summarized as follows:
The (true) Gurus came to this world and lived here. They gave the boons of Naam, spiritual advice and method to lead true life. Like any other householder, they had dealings with people. They showered their kindness. They went through problems and obstacles created by jealousies and animosities by others. However, they stayed steadfast on their principles even if by doing so they had to sacrifice their lives. They saved many beings from the darkness of ignorance. These (morally and spiritually) alive people carried out fantastic deeds of self-sacrifice.
