Answer: (A), (B)

He said that there is no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim as both of them are children of the same God.

One day, when Guru Nanak Ji was living in Sultanpur Lodhi, he had gone to bathe in the river Bein. He meditated for three days on the banks of the river and attained enlightenment. Everyone assumed that he was dead. Guru Nanak Ji returned and explained to the Brahmins and Qazis that there is no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim as both of them are children of the same God. Further, he added that Hindus and Muslims had forgotten true principles of their religions.
