Greetings to All 
Guru Nanak s Gurpurab ie birthday is on 10 th November .
So this thread is dedicated to the founder of Sikhi
When the child Nanak came of age, a huge ceremony was made in honor of him.
In the Ceremony the priest was to give him a thread that was imbued with mantras. He was supposed to wear this thread his whole life and it would help him meditate. If it ever broke he would get another special thread to put on so he would always have the rememberance of God.
His father called the whole family, their friends and guests to participate in this holy ceremony. It was a very elaborate scene. Nanak always wondered why people do all kinds of ceremonies and rituals when God is inside our hearts. The child Nanak was rebelious and wise, so he refused to put the thread on. He told the priest that he could always remember God without any thread no matter how special it was. "Why don't I meditate on God in my heart? That won't ever break!"
Guru Nanak sahib said the following words to preist
ਦਇਆ ਕਪਾਹ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸੂਤੁ ਜਤੁ ਗੰਢੀ ਸਤੁ ਵਟੁ ॥
Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot and truth the twist.
ਏਹੁ ਜਨੇਊ ਜੀਅ ਕਾ ਹਈ ਤ ਪਾਡੇ ਘਤੁ ॥
This is the sacred thread of the soul; if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me.
ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਤੁਟੈ ਨ ਮਲੁ ਲਗੈ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਜਲੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
It does not break, it cannot be soiled by filth, it cannot be burnt, or lost.
ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਮਾਣਸ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜੋ ਗਲਿ ਚਲੇ ਪਾਇ ॥
Blessed are those mortal beings, O Nanak, who wear such a thread around their necks.(Guru Granth Sahib)
