31. Miss Pearl S. Buck, Noble prizewinner

Dr. Pearl. S. Buck a renowned Nobel Prize winner writes in praise of Guru Granth Sahib ji that it is a unique text which depicts and relates mankinds spiritual longing, divine aspirations and union with the almighty. She writes, ”Whoever has studied or listened to Guru Granth sahib ji undoubtedly obtains guidelines to live a rejuvenated life of spiritual poise and fulfillment. Western scientists who seek the truth through experiment only have been obliged to accept and acknowledge the truth that is contained within Guru Granth Sahib ji”. She further writes,”I have studied the scriptures of the great religions, but I do not find anywhere else the same power of appeal to the heart and mind as I find here in these volumes. They are compact in spite of their length and are a revelation of the Concept of God. There is something strangely modern about these scriptures and this puzzled me until I learned that they are in fact comparatively modern, compiled as late as the 16th century when explorers were beginning to discover that the globe upon which we all live is a single entity divided only by arbitrary lines of our making. Perhaps this sense of unity is the source of power I find in these volumes. They speak to a person of any religion or of none. They speak for the human heart and the searching mind”.
