The origins of Sikhism lie in the teachings
of Nanak and his successors. Nanak
disapproved of many religious beliefs and
practices of his time. The essence of Sikh
teaching is summed up by Nanak in these
words: "Realisation of Truth is higher than
all else. Higher still is truthful
living".[5] Sikhism believes in equality of
all humans and rejects caste system. Sikhism
also does not attach any importance to
asceticism as a means to attain salvation,
but stresses on the need of leading life as a
householder. For Sikhs, initiation into the
Khalsa strengthens their identity and also
signifies the Sikh teaching of equality.[6]
The Sikhs are required to follow the
teachings of their Guru and serve him, under
all circumstances.
According to Sikhism, the goal of life for a
person is to progress on a spiritual scale
from Manmukh, or "self-centered", to Gurmukh,
or "God-centered". Gurmukh implies the
qualities of humility, selfless service,
adhering to the teachings of Guru and not
being a recluse.
God
Sikhism is a monotheistic religion.[7][8] In
Sikhism, God—termed Vāhigurū—is
formless, eternal, and unobserved:
niraṅkār, akāl, and alakh. The beginning
of the first composition of Sikh scripture is
the figure "1"—signifying the universality
of God. It states that God is omnipresent and
infinite, and is signified by the term ēk
ōaṅkār.[9] Sikhs believe that prior to
creation, all that existed was God and his
hukam (will or order).[10] When God willed,
the entire cosmos was created. From these
beginnings, God nurtured "enticement and
attachment" to māyā, or the human
perception of reality.[11]
While a full understanding of God is beyond
human beings,[9] Nanak described God as not
wholly unknowable. God is omnipresent (sarav
viāpak) in all creation and visible
everywhere to the spiritually awakened. Nanak
stressed that God must be seen from "the
inward eye", or the "heart", of a human
being: devotees must meditate to progress
towards enlightenment. Guru Nanak Dev
emphasized the revelation through meditation,
as its rigorous application permits the
existence of communication between God and
human beings.[9] God has no gender in
Sikhism, though translations may incorrectly
present a masculine God. In addition, Nanak
wrote that there are many worlds on which God
has created life.[12]
