Sikhism & Hinduism: Similarities and Differences

Destiny of poor is to work for money to support family. Destiny of people, success or struggle is dependent on education, good or bad choices & luck! Destiny of woman is no different!

Sikhism & Hinduism: Similarities and Differences

April 19, 2014 by Er. Satnam Singh Sidhu BC

Every religion on this earth has one common purpose. To establish link with The True Master and His creativity through self-analysis with the help of True Religious Guide known as Lord/Guru/Prophet.

Love to humanity is the main ingredient of every religion. The definition of God by every religion might differ to some extent. Certainly the practice of religions is highly dependent on core religious values and culture and literacy level of followers.

The interpretation of same religion by preachers might differ as well. Some preachers stick to the fundamental religious practices and some advocate changes time to time.

Reform to religious practices are quite common in every religion. It is highly debatable as well. This creates tension and differences between followers within same religion.

Preachers preaches different ways. There are two predominant practices of preaching. First is based on core religious philosophy and practices. Second is comparing to other religions' philosophies and practices.

Unfortunately, I have witnessed a third type of practice, which is quite common in every religion, of criticizing other religions to prove the merits of their own religions. 

Religion is not a subject of criticism and comparison to let down others.

The common target of every religion is to kill arrogance of followers through self-analysis and practice of religious principles and foster atmosphere of love to mankind. 

Thus, a follower who love God, must love the mankind as well. Anyone who have time to criticize others might waste his/her time in vain without progressing further on the path of humility.

Lets focus on core religious principles and practices to uplift our attitude and behavior towards our self first and then towards others.

As Guru Nanak said that if we realize the Will and System of The True Master only then the arrogance will disappear from our minds with the blessings of a True Guru.
