He taught that all humans were the same and that we're all equal and famously even said, except all humans as your equals and let them be your only sect.

You had so much religious infighting, you had holy wars breaking out, not only amongst Christians, Muslims, but Hindus and every other religious group that existed in that place. So for him to come out and say, we're all students of God was pretty remarkable.

So before his death, Guru Nanak chose one of his followers, Bhai Lena, to succeed him and renamed him Guru Angad, basically meaning part of me. Angad meaning, you know, you are one of me, you are an enlightened one like I am. Guru Angad standardized, you could say, the script.
