How did Guru Nanak spread is message?

Answer 1

Guru Nanak Dev Ji never tried to persuade others that his beliefs were right or better than others.Guru Nanak Dev Ji presented his teachings which he felt were necessary for the prevailing Indian Society of his time as well for whole of Mankind as most of the rituals and superstitious beliefs only plagued the spiritual growth of an individual.

In fact as per the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji as preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, all spiritual paths are as valid ways for an individual to attain salvation and thus there is no better or superior ways or beliefs but rather it is the effort of each individual to ponder and practice upon the teachings of his/her respective faith.

And since Guru Nanak Dev Ji accepted the validity of other spiritual paths as well for salvation, he would in no way would have tried to persuade others for believing his beliefs were better than others but indeed one can say Guru Nanak Dev Ji did rejected meaningless rituals and superstitious beliefs like Caste System,Sati System, Pilgrimages, Visiting of Sacred shrines,reading and reciting out of scriptures without having proper understanding of them, etc.
