There is but One God, His name is Truth, He is the Creator, He fears none, he is without hate, He never dies, He is beyond the cycle of births and death, He is self illuminated, He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning, He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True, He is also True now.

An adopted son shall never take the family, name and the estate of his natural father, the funeral cake follows the family, name and the estate, the funeral offerings of him who gives ,his son in adoption cease, as far as that son is concerned.

Guru Nanak

From woman, man is born within woman, man is conceived to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born without woman, there would be no one at all.
Guru Nanak
