Dear believer in Christ,
I suggest you keep going. The One that lead you to Sikh Dharma, lead you to Christianity. There is no 1st prize here. No one owns the Truth. It is the Truth that owns you, oh soul of the Divine.
Jesus said, "Many are called but few are chosen."
The message of Guru Nanak is not a philosophy. It is a discipline!
May I suggest oh dear one that you read the 5th chapter of Matthew. Here in is the Master's teachings.
The name of Guru Nanak means: no ego. Humilty.
In Jesus words, he says, " I am the Light of the world, no man comes to the Father except by me".
He is correct. But dear one, you must become that same "I Am". By God's Grace you will.
Amen, Amin, Aum, Ong, Sat Nam, Allah, Allelullia, Yahuweh, Wahe Guru are all the same vibration. The same source, the same origin.
Nanak worships the Word. Through that state of consciousness, he teaches us how to experience that humility, that kindness, that love of God. He guides his Sikhs.
Jesus is one teacher, one "Son" and it is easy to trap one self in worshiping him. That is the easy path. It requires no discipline, no commitment to your soul. Just reliance on belief that he was born and died for your sins. That interpretation of his mission is the one which attracts 1.5 billion people. So be it. This is God's Will. It is also His Divine Will that we who follow Guru's teachings speak the Truth, live the Truth and even die for that Truth.
We Sikhs (Disciples of the Guru) bow and worship the Akal Purkh, the Akhand Joti,(the Eternal Light) the Shabd! (The Word)
My dear, when you come to this forum, you feel compelled to teach us with your evangelical spirit. It won't work, You are preaching to those who anscestor's have endured torture, humilation, death and have not cut their hair because they meditate on the Bani of the Guru. Why do you think your limited experience of God can alter that?
We are sons and daughters of a Warrior Saint. We serve the One God. WE hold you in hight esteem, but because our 5th Guru (Guru Arjan Dev) and our 9th Guru (Guru Teg Bahadur) gave their lives for religious "liberty" we continue to remember and bow our heads to the Word (The Shabd Guru) . We are intoxicated on God's Name, Day and Night. "Naam Kumre Nanaka, Cherdi Kare Din Rat"
We will never bow to a man, a woman, a personality but to only to the One Who Created this Creation.
I was born into Christainity. I lived it devotionally for 21 years. At that age, I met Guru Nanak. At 23 I met Guru Gobind Singh. At 24, I became his son. At 25 I was given the obligation to minister, to marry, to council. At 35 I visited the Guru's place of yogic practice, high in the Himalayas. It is where the Guru was ordered by the ONE God to take birth one more time.

"He who calls me God will fall into the pit of Hell".
At 49, I visited the place of my spiritual birth; Anandpur Sahib
Now at 56, I say these words to you"
Be yourself perfect, even as you Father in Heaven is Perfect!. You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine for all men and women to see.
Through Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh, may HIs Name forever increase, may your spirit be exalted and may all prosper by HIs Grace.
Wahe Guru! God bless you oh seeker of Truth.
