10 Things we should learn from Sikhism

 Founded within the 15th century, Sikhism has become the fifth largest organized religion within the world. The faith has been developed through the teachings of ten Sikh Gurus, which are extremely inspiring.

Although the central teaching in Sikhism is the belief within the concept of the oneness of God, there are more teachings of the community, which demonstrates that each and every religious traditions are similarly valid and accomplished of instructive their followers-

1)    Honesty is the best policy

He believes that everybody should love their life within the most honest way. Something that's earned with corruption and dishonesty wouldn't last long, and therefore the price are going to be paid at some point in time. The best joy can only be found once we sleep in complete honesty and truth.

2)    We should always provide the full support to the poor

Once time, the father of Gurur Nanak Dev Ji gave him Rs.20 to spoil himself in business. But he used that cash to feed the poor. He considered that dividing the property and resources with the poor people is the true business, or in his terms, “Sacha Sauda”. This philosophy is clear with their ritual “langar”, where people feed the poor, regardless of their fate, caste and race. And this is often also what he believed was the core of any religion.

3)    Equality

He considered everyone to be equal, no matter the gender, caste, race, religion, social or financial status. This philosophy is deeply administered by the followers, and this is often the rationale Gurudwaras are hospitable everyone eager to visit them.

4)    Always follow three principles

·        Be forever engrossed in meditation and prayer.

·        Earn an income by admirable methods.

·        Share earnings and selflessly serve others.

5)    Avoid 5 sins and ego

People should meditate daily and stop indulging in Pride, Lust, Greed, Anger and Attachment.

6)    Be Baptized

Be mentally reborn by participating in the initiation ceremony led by the "Five Beloved" Sikhs, who prepare and administer immortalizing nectar to initiates.

7)    Worship one God

Sikhism teaches everyone to follow and pray to at least one God. It is worthless following various idols.

8)    We must treated equally

There should be no discrimination in terms of caste, creed or colour.

9)    Always Respect for Ladies

While standing up for equality, he also stood up for ladies. One among his verses translates as:

“Why disregard the one who gives birth to the regal kings of the world.”

We all skills women within the modern age also because the conservative age faced atrocities along their way, and Nanak Dev Ji has always looked to vary this matter in his teachings.

10)                       The Core philosophy of Selfless Service

As mentioned before, Nanak Dev ji placed an excellent emphasis on selfless service. This belief, consistent with him, is of utmost importance considering the private benefit sought within the modern age. He was the firm believer that truth spiritual satisfaction can only come once you are selfless and work for others’ good.
