It might not be fair to say Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the most inspirational person to live a life ever recorded in the annals of human history. He is worshiped under many names including Shah-e-Shahenshah (emperor of emperors), Mard Agamra (man without any analogs), Bar do Alam Shah (ruler of two worlds), and Sarbans Dani (the gracious donor, who sacrifice his all).
It is stated that following the martyrdom of his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, the tenth Master vowed to establish a Panth (community/society) that would take on the world's tyrannical rulers and demand that justice, equality, and peace be restored for all people. Guru Gobind Singh Ji imbued his disciples with the dual spirit of a saint and a soldier through the formation of the Khalsa in 1699, empowering them to combat oppression in order to restore righteousness (Dharma) and uplift the oppressed people in this world.

The Guru is a prophet unlike any other. His lectures are very rational and timely at the same time. He never referred to himself as God or "the only son of God," unlike many other prophets. Instead, Jesus spoke to everyone as a son of God who was equally a part of His kingdom. He referred to himself as God's "slave" or "servant."
