Equality . Social . Gurbani on Disease and Disability

Without the creator's grace and blessing, even those who have eyes and ears cannot see the truth. We are entangled in the aesthetic web of outwardly responsibility, yet we remain ignorant to the spiritual needs of our body and our soul. Gurbani tells us that those who are ignorant, make fun of others, and discriminate against others - they are the ones who are indeed crippled and disabled.
