What is Dharma?

“…as suggested by Guru Nanak, Dharma is that behaviour or conduct of man which supports and sustains the total life- individual, earthly, and cosmic- in all its aspects such as physical, moral, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and mystic…He believes that Dharma itself is a means to the end which is one’s identification with Truth or the Supreme Reality…Dharma is to act according to the order (law), established by the Supreme Being by His Will and not under any compulsion man need behave as required by the ordainer’s will. This is his duty and performance of duty is observance of Dharma…Guru Nanak’s Dharma is a state of conscience, compassion, dedication, contentment, truthfulness, obedience etc. which come of one’s love for the Supreme Truth- Being who has set up the cosmic order

“What Guru Nanak excludes from Dharma: We can understand his conception of Dharma by seeing what he excludes from Dharma. Prof. Puran Singh commenting on Guru Nanak’s Var Asa, has rightly observed that he had cast aside what, for centuries, had been miscalled Dharma.’In the Var Asa(Asa di Var) says Puran Singh, ‘what is miscalled religion from time immemorial is cast aside. The sacred thread folly is mercilessly exposed. The hypocritical readings of Scriptures and the wearing of loose garments and the paintings of foreheads, and the reservation of cooking squares, the wrong emphasis on a dietary and human secretions…’ distinguishing the Dharma from non dharma, pointing out that were acts of intellect or knowledge, concentrative smadhis, acquisition of pelf and power and hundreds of wisdom-do not lead to the realization of Truth which lies in the impulsive obedience to the order (hukam) and will (raza) of the Supreme Being (sach) Man’s Dharma is to identify oneself completely with the Truth which is beyond and above the consideration of time and space or caste and creed. .(Taran Singh,“Guru Nanak’s Conception of Dharma”,Teachings of Guru Nanak, p.13-14)

“Dharma is different from religion. Religion is based on dogma, doctrines, customs, rules, and rituals, it is an institution with distinctive characteristics. Dharma is more subtle and profound than religion- it is universal and eternal. It is not bound by cultural, temporal, or theoretical differences, for it is the essential cohesive factor that unites all people in their highest potentials for human development.” Swami Rama, Celestial Song/Gobind Geet, (U.S.A. : The Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy of the U.S.A. Housedate Pennsylvania), p. ix

Khalsa

The word Khalsa comes from an Arabic root signifying purity and emancipation.Purity because it overcomes all narrowness and because all words and actions of its votaries come out from the depth of truth. Emancipation- because it indicates freedom from superstitions and conventions and because their minds are without fear & their heads are held high. He is saint-soldier and a statesman. The Guru said, “The Khalsa is the living image of my spirit. I will eternally abide in the spirit of the Khalsa.”

The Khalsa is a sage in regal splendour. The Khalsa is a spiritual holy order which does not renounce the family.”(Ranbir Singh, The Sikh Way of Life, “The Khalsa ideal of Sikhism”, p. 126)

The birth of the Khalsa was a natural consequence and culmination of all that had happened before in the development of Sikhism. Guru Nanak taught:

1. brotherly love for all the human beings

2. man and universe were indivisibly one

3. one can be free from the cycle of birth and death, he can realize himself and have experience of absolute truth without renunciation or practising asceticism

4. an individual could continue to act a part in the great divine play even while remaining in the stream of life, in fact this was the ideal state to be in. Guru Gobind Singh initiated the ceremony of amrit and, laid down certain rules for the guidance of Sikhs.
