Sabar and Patience
Sikhism emphasizes on Hukam. ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1|| ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥ Everyone is subject to His Command; no one is beyond His Command.

Sikhism emphasizes on Hukam.
ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||
ਹੁਕਮੈ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਹੁਕਮ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
Everyone is subject to His Command; no one is beyond His Command.
Hukam is the laws of nature under which this universe is being operated. In this universe, every entity and every event is connected. We are a small part in the big play. We mostly are confined to ourselves only and forget to see the bigger picture. As you comprehend Gurbani you realize nothing happening in your life is bad. The situations that we feel at a moment are bad are actually evolving us. The adverse situations are actually blessing in disguise as they are developing us to become a stronger person and they are important for our growth.
See lessਜਿਨੑੀ ਪਛਾਤਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਤਿਨੑ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਰੋਵਣਾ ॥
Those who recognize the Lord’s Command never weep.
Difficult situations actually take us closer to the Divine and impart us divine qualities and Sabar is one of them.

NEW MOTHER/BIRTH/40 DAYS
I do not think anything is written about this matter in SGGS Ji. Scientifically it is good for a new Mom to avoid going out for some time as the immune system of the newborn is still developing and it is better for the new Mom to prevent herself from getting exposed to foreign invaders/ germs.

Sikhism and science align very well. According to science life originated in water. Here is a quote from Gurbani ਸਾਚੇ ਤੇ ਪਵਨਾ ਭਇਆ ਪਵਨੈ ਤੇ ਜਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ From the True Lord came the air, and from the air came water. ਜਲ ਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮੋਇ ॥ From water, He created the three worlds; in eachRead more

See lessਸਾਚੇ ਤੇ ਪਵਨਾ ਭਇਆ ਪਵਨੈ ਤੇ ਜਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
From the True Lord came the air, and from the air came water.
ਜਲ ਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮੋਇ ॥
From water, He created the three worlds; in each and every heart He has infused His Light.
Science believes in the Big Bang theory about the origin of the universe. Here is a quote from Gurbani
ਅਰਬਦ ਨਰਬਦ ਧੁੰਧੂਕਾਰਾ ॥
For endless eons, there was only utter darkness.
ਧਰਣਿ ਨ ਗਗਨਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
There was no earth or sky; there was only the infinite Command of His Hukam.
The field of biology explains the diversity of the biological world by Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. According to this theory, we have a common ancestor and we have gone through many stages and have evolved into the most complex form of life, human beings. Here is a reference from Gurbani on Ank 176.
ਕਈ ਜਨਮ ਭਏ ਕੀਟ ਪਤੰਗਾ ॥
In so many incarnations, you were a worm and an insect;
ਕਈ ਜਨਮ ਗਜ ਮੀਨ ਕੁਰੰਗਾ ॥
in so many incarnations, you were an elephant, a fish and a deer.
What is the meaning of Bairaag?
Bairaag is when we miss something in life and we feel void. When we listen to Gurbani tears come out of our eyes. There is some connection that is deep-rooted and Gurbani reminds us of that relationship. This relationship is the journey of our soul. ਕਾਲੀ ਕੋਇਲ ਤੂ ਕਿਤ ਗੁਨ ਕਾਲੀ ॥ ਅਪਨੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਕੇ ਹਉ ਬਿਰਹRead more

Naam ( understanding the functioning of this universe and the principle of oneness) is a key to attain the state of Jeevan Mukat to lead a blissful life free of anxieties and fear.

Everybody is equal in Guru's home. Children should learn to do Nishkam Seva from their childhood so that they can practice the same principle in the outer world in their worldly lives. This lesson is imparted at Gurudwara Sahib so children should be actively involved in all Seva projects.

Transformation in your life will happen when you will understand the message of Gurbani. Your inner world and the outer world will interact at a different level and you will see your life from a different angle.

Science believes that life originated in water. The first cell was formed in water from the reaction of some gases in the atmosphere under the effect of lightning. From this single cell, the whole biological world has evolved. Here is a reference from Gurbani. ਸਾਚੇ ਤੇ ਪਵਨਾ ਭਇਆ ਪਵਨੈ ਤੇ ਜਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ FromRead more
