Faith

None is faithless,
if the have faith in themselves.

Bhai Nand Lal Ji

The first step towards faith is to have faith in yourself. This is the stepping stone to realising true faith, peace and contentment. Believe in yourself. A lack of self-convictioncan only lead to inner frustration.

Sikh Ethics

| Print |

A Sikh should take Amrit from the Panj Pyare and live their life according to the Gurbani of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the Rehat Maryada.

Naam japo, Kirat karo, Wand ki shako, Kirtan karo and Kirtan Suno these are pillers of the Sikh faith.

A Sikh should always speak the truth and be honest.

A Sikh should always remember God in everything they do and learn to see the presence of God in everyone.

A Sikh should earn their living by honest means and their own hard efforts. 

A Sikh should always think good thoughts, enact good deeds and always ask God to bless everyone.

A Sikh should not believe in superstition or magic spells etc. 

A Sikh should only have faith in God and worship his name, and accumulate spiritual wealth. ‘Bani Guru, Guru hai Bani’, Sikhs have the highest respect, love and devotion for Gurbani.

A Sikh should, when preparing or eating food, keep their head covered and recite Simran.  Upon finishing a meal, a Sikh should thank God for the blessing of food.

A Sikh should take time to recite Gurbani with accuracy, thought and respect.  All Gutkas should be kept covered in a clean, tidy respectful manner.

A Sikh should spend time in good company (Sat Sangat), and do as much Sewa and Simran as possible, this will increase your spiritural wealth.

A Sikh should never speak or listen to slander of others, especially of any Gursikh.

A Sikh should avoid the company of those who always speak ill of others.

A Sikh should live in a state of positive thinking with a forward looking attitude and total faith in God.  This is called “Chardi Kala”.  To do this: a Sikh should never complain, they should stop condemning others and be happy with what they have been blessed with.

A Sikh should not read from a Gutka like any other text.  Paath is an instruction manual on how to become an ideal, perfect human being who is at one with God.  Therefore, we should think about what paath is teaching us and then put it into practise in our every action.
