Wealth of wisdom was there centuries ago . Farid’s philosophy has just as much if not more relevance today as it was in 12th century. Inner reflection and self awareness were part of his gospel !
Sardar KBS Sidhu, a retired IAS officer who held the position of Special Chief Secretary in the Punjab Government, has crafted a thought-provoking research paper that delves into the profound philosophy and invaluable contributions of Baba Sheikh Farid Shakar Ganj, an eminent figure within the Sufi sect. Baba Sheikh Farid's pantheistic ideals harmoniously converge with the essence of Gurmat.
During the compilation of the Adi Granth, which ultimately evolved into the revered Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the inclusion of holy verses (slokas) penned by Baba Farid Ji stands as a unique and remarkable instance in the annals of theology. These verses are now a daily recitation in Guru Ghars (Sikh places of worship) across the global diaspora.
The practices of "tinthing" (Daswandh - the sharing of one-tenth of earnings, and langar - the community kitchen) were firmly embedded within Sufi Khanqahs (spiritual centers). The resonances of these practices with the teachings of Guru Nanak reflect the universal principles of sharing and selfless service.
Baba Farid's slokas encapsulate the very core of humanity, advocating for justice, love, and the divine oneness. He earned widespread reverence as a saint of unparalleled stature in his era, and his verses transcend the confines of religious boundaries, carrying a universal and timeless message.
Sardar Sidhu, despite his background in science, applies a rigorously scientific methodology to his writing, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of every facet of the subject matter. His approach is truly commendable, bridging the realms of spirituality and rationality.

A sincere salute is extended to him for his enlightening write-up. It is with humility that I beseech him to continue his journey of exploration, uncovering insights into the multifaceted contributions within Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
