What do Sikh’s believe as to a supreme being? </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">ikh believe in ONE Supreme Being and it is considered that it is same Supreme Being that has sent Jesus , Mohammed, Moses and also our TEN GURU JI which started shaped the sikh religion and this suoreme being is called AKAL PURAKH ( Eternal Being)</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">So in sikh religion there is no such belief that god has been revealed to Sikhs exclusively as thought by some religion .In sikh religion it is considered that God is ever manifested and all these religion are only ways to realise it</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Also is any religion relevant to the 21st century?</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">As per my understanding every religion is relevant if it can be followed in a true sense as it was meant to be followed </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">About sikh religion I can tell you that it is relevant if it is followed as our GURUJI has taught us </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Also our Guruji made it a point to lay the guidlines and their message themselves with their own hand and passed it on to Present day sikhs so that in sikh religion every thing could be followed as it was meant to be ( Just to make a note message of Jesus was recorded by his disciples long time after the jesus Message of mohammed was recorde 20 years after his death )</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Now it is upto Sikhs if they can follow their GURUJI's message than offcourse Sikh religion is Relevant even in next 10 centuries !!! </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Yu have a point there now lets see what sikh religion say about that </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">In Sikh religion no body is born SIKH but very body has to be initiated into it at his own will and understanding and once you are sikh you could excommunicated any time if you dont follow it or go off the way </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">So Sikh religion has to Literally earned by invidual and it is not a family gift given to every child born in the family </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">now as you said religious people </span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">perpeating some of the vilest of crimes against humanity these are the people how has got label of religion as</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">their family hier and who follow their own minute brain in name of religion considering their own religion to be supreme </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">As I told you in sikhism religion is only a way ( path) to realise god so how can one way be superior to other as all are leading to same destination </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">offcourse how truly you follow the path which ever it si makes all the difference </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">now about people having no religious belief being some kindest people on earth as I was mentioning religion is just like label attached to various ways of realising god but same could be done even without label and it is manifested in the way of person life </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">In sikhism the whole emphasis is on the way of life basica\ly sikhism could be called a way of life as there is no emphasis on any rituals and meaning less practices </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">being a sikh the most prominent and integral part should be doing selfless service </span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">to fellow human beings and it goes well beyond being kind to fellow beings </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">You have seen many religion but probably you havent seen Sikh religion <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">In sikh religion </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">1 there is no such class like priest so no mediator every body has to do his own devotional service <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">2 sikhs worship only the supreme being ( that is universal to all humanity) and no human being ( not even our 10 GURUJI as they just act as guide and role models to us ) so again no mediator between sikh and supreme being <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> </span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">3 Sikh litreally means a student so any body following their own religion in true sense is a sikh on his way so sikhs consider every body equal no matter which religion he is following <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> <img

</span></span></strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">So I think if these are the things troubling you than you can think of being part of sikh religion <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)"
