His *Janam Sākhis* (biographies) declare that the first words that the Gurū uttered after his revelation were: "There is no Hindu, there is no Musalman."³³ This clearly indicates that it was Nānak's settled intention to do away with differences between the two by instituting a third course which should supersede both of them. Nānak's message is similar to that of Kabīr's, for both were trying to cure the same diseases of the same society.
