Three Pillar of Sikhi : Spiritual Elevation

The three pillars of Sikhism also called the three basic guidelines that are formalized by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. With these values, the Guru Nanak Dev Ji knew that the person would achieve spiritual elevation and material happiness in this world. Those who have meditated on the Naam, the name of the Lord, and departed after having worked by the sweat of their brows O Nanak their faces are radiant in the Court of the Lord. And many are saved along with them.

The three basic Guidelines are:-

Naam Japo

Mediate and recite the name of the lord, and feel his divine presence in everything and everyone. The term Naam refers to the various names given to God as used by the Sikhs Naam Japo refers to the meditation, vocal singing of Shabads or hymns, from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib or the chanting of the various Names of God especially the chanting of the word Waheguru which means Wonderful Lord. The repetition of God's name and concentration of the attention on His identity. The titles that have been given to God essentially allude to the Almighty's traits and attributes. The Rehit Mariyada of Guru Gobind Singh contains a directive that the Sikh must incorporate Naam Simran into his or her daily practice. This concept is also permeated in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib as how humans can conquer ego, greed, attachment, anger, and lust together commonly called Five Evils, and bring peace and tranquility into one’s mind.

Kirat Karni

Leading an honest and truthful life earns a righteous livelihood. Dharam Di Kirat Karni to practice integrity and honesty in all of one's dealings, to live a family-oriented life, and to work and earn by the sweat of one's brow honestly. Both of the aforementioned concepts refer to doing good actions and earning an honest, pure, and truthful living by using one's God-given talents, skills, and abilities, as well as one's hard work, for the benefit and betterment of the person, their family, and society as a whole.

 

This suggests that you should not be slothful and throw your life away, but rather work hard and with dedication. Must carry out these actions without making "personal gain" your primary driving force. Make Simran and your commitment to God the driving force behind your effort. Kirat is similar to prayer or meditation in that it is performed. It is equivalent to your attendance at your place of worship's "Sunday Service."

Vand Chakna

Share with everyone. Help the Needy. Do selfless service for humanity. The phrase "Wand kay Shako" implies giving to charity, distributing in the Langar (free Kitchen), and generally assisting people in the community who are in need. Sikhs are obliged to give at least 10% of their money or income, known as Dasvandh, to the world's poor or deserving cause. This idea recognizes that whatever a person obtains is a result of Hukam or God's Will. And when someone obtains more than they can use, they must share this gift with the community, especially those in need and who have far less than they have.
