Guru Arjan compiled the Adi Granth, built the Harmandir Sahib with doors on four sides to signal openness in every direction, and was the first Sikh Guru to die under state power — tortured over several days in Lahore in 1606. The tradition reports that he recited "sweet is Your will" throughout, and the Sikh understanding of martyrdom takes its shape from that: not defiance, and not passivity either, but a refusal that does not require hatred. His death is the turning point after which the community began to arm itself, and his son wore two swords.
