The Sikh religion has various established beliefs and values that are inherent in the basic philosophy of the faith. A Sikh believes in only one God – This God is the same for all peoples of the Universe and is gender neutral. So when we refer to God, we can call God masculine or feminine. So God can be referred to as ‘He’ or ‘She’. This one God is the God of the Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc – of all the peoples. He is formless, fearless, without enemies, self-created, etc. The Sikh Holy Scriptures, called the Sri Guru Granth Sahib explain the various facets of God in substantial detail. This principle leads to the concept of equality amount all human races, sects, gender, social classes, etc. There is a recognised believe that people of other faiths can also reunite with

A Sikh believes in only one God – This God is the same for all peoples of the Universe and is gender neutral. So when we refer to God, we can call God masculine or feminine.

This principle leads to the concept of equality amount all human races, sects, gender, social classes, etc. There is a recognised believe that people of other faiths can also reunite with God provided they follow the true path of their own religion. So the Sikh does not believe that they have a monopoly on God or are the ‘chosen’ people. The Sikhs believe in the evolution of the Soul and the principle of reincarnation. The soul is believed to be a tiny spark of God’s light detached from the Almighty. This spark is separated from God and wants to become pure so that it can reunite with God. For this to happen, the Soul has to evolve and purify itself so that this reunification with the Supreme Soul can take place. The law of Karma is another concept central to this faith. Ones actions in this life will have a direct influence on the type of life in your next existence! So to adhere to these principles, the dedicated follower must lead a disciplined personal life and must uphold the moral and ethnical rights of all the peoples of the world. So it is a must to lead a spiritually correct life at all times and to be ready to be subjected to personal sacrifices if the liberty of any weak person(s) is at stake. Another central tenet of Sikhism is the concept of ‘Chardi kala’ – Positive attitude to life at all times. Graciously and with humility to accept the will of God at all times. Always to lead ones life unattached and untangled with the material world. Not to come under the influence of Maya – the illusionary and transient world around us. To remain detached from this world but to recognise ones duties to God and his creation.
