Miri-Piri Balance
Spiritual authority (Piri) and temporal power (Miri) should be integrated for just governance.
Guru Hargobind introduced the concept of Miri-Piri, wearing two swords symbolizing spiritual and temporal authority. This teaches that spirituality must engage with worldly power for justice.
My sword is for the protection of the poor and destruction of the tyrant.
Miri-Piri prevents spiritual withdrawal from worldly responsibility.
