NAAM, ....DAAN.... &.... ISHNAAN: The Three Pillars of Sikhism
Guru Nanak formalised these three pillars of Sikhism:
1. The Gurus led the Sikhs directly to practise Simran and Naam Japna – meditation on TRUTH God through reciting, chanting, Singing followed by deep study & comprehention of God’s Name(Gurbani the Compendium of ETERNAL TRUTHs). The inner voice of the Sikh thus stays emerssed in praises and fanship of no one but ONE ETERNAL GOD Waheguruand his WILL. The Sikh is to intutively practice for staying focussed on TRUTH through every breath that he breathes through his life. As a social habit and to begin with, recite the Nitnem banis daily in remembrance of the grace and Kirpa of the Almighty.'Early to bed & early to rise...' is the FIRST STEP towards the Gate to Sikhism.
2. He expected the Sikhs to live as honourable householders and practise Kirat Karni – To honestly earn by ones physical and mental effort while accepting both Pains & Pleasures as GOD's gifts and blessings. One is to stay truthfull at all times and, fear none but ONE, ie 'TRUTH God'. Live a life founded on decency immersed in morally & socially TRUE values.
3. The Sikhs were asked to share their wealth within the community by practising Vand Chakna – “Share and Consume together”. The community or Sadh Sangat is an important part of Sikhism. One must be part of a community that is pursing flawlessly objective values set out by the Sikh Gurus and every Sikh has to contribute in whatever way possible to the community. This spirit of Giving is an important message from Guru Nanak.
