"The Khalsa is never a satellite to another power.
They are either fully sovereign or in a state of war and rebellion.
A subservient coexistence they never accept.
To be fully sovereign and autonomous is their first and last demand"

- Prachin Panth Prakash, Rattan Singh Bhangoo
"For, the Guru recognized the validity and force of the Marxist stand two centuries earlier than the Marxists formulated it; namely that no amount of education or religious refinement is enough, as had been tacitly presumed throughout the ages of Indian history, +
unless the refined and emancipated man, the man who combines in himself wisdom and power, both in equal degrees, has control of the commercial and industrial machine, which is the State today, and control of the organized military power, which was the State always."

Sikh Individuality & Gurmukhi:

"Guru Angad employed the following means to secure the individuality of those who had accepted Guru Nanak's mission.

The invention of Gurmukhi characters which became the special Script the Sikhs, and in which all their sacred books are written."
"Gurmukhs, in the Adi Granth and generally in the Punjab, is applied to this who faithfully follow the commands of the Guru, as opposed to Manmukh, or one who looks to his own will for help and guidance."
"The very name of the new Script, reminded those who employed it, of their duty towards the Guru and constantly kept alive in their minds the consciousness that they were something distinct from the common mass of Hinduism, that they were regenerated, liberated and saved."
