Respected Charandip Singh ji,
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
In reply to your question the undersigned wants to say that:-
1. “Sikh” is a “Seeker of Truth” and “Sikhism” stands for:-
(i) Oneness of Humanity;
(ii) No discrimination owing to gender, race, caste, creed, or color;
(iii) No empty rituals & worthless religious practices;
(iv) No life after death theories. Rather, it stands for salvation during the life time on getting rid of vices.
2. Further, Sikhism:-
(i) teaches a Sikh to live his life in the present, as per Hukam of Akalpurakh and teachings of ever living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib;
(ii) expects a Sikh to earn an honest living, remain connected with Akalpurakh all the time and share his honest earning with poor and needy;
(iii) expects a Sikh to be compassionate, kind, tolerant and is to love all i e. he is to reach the mental state of seeing Akalpurakh in everyone and hence having friends only and no enemies;
(iv) expects a Sikh to serve the humanity, without any distinction of caste, creed and religion.
Whatever is written above is based on undersigned’s understanding of the subject and may not be perfect. Anyone can improve upon it and give a chance to the undersigned to learn.
If you have any further questions please do ask.
Regards,
Your Brother
