Sikhism is a way of life; a disciplined mode of life coupled with a belief in the unity of one God, the equality of all mankind, faith in the Guru's word and love for all. The stepping stone for a Sikh is to accept the one God and worship Him with ones tongue, mind and actions. A Sikh puts his trust in God alone rather than in other beings, relatives, wealth or possessions. To act in His name and gradually reach a stage where, as the Guru says, "Water mingles with water and light merges in the light, discarding their separate existence."
