Simran - meditating and remembering the Creator and Seva - willingness to give ones labour for free - are the bedrocks of Sikhi. "Keep the message simple" appears to be the common thread throughout Sikhi concepts. Originality and clarity of the Sikh faith was instrumental in promoting it from its inception in about 1499 and its voluntary adoption by the masses with eagerness and whole-heartedness. 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." A Sikh puts his trust in God alone rather than in other beings, relatives, wealth or possessions. The stepping stone for a Sikh is to accept the one God and worship Him with ones tongue, mind and actions. 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.
