but if one does not know the about Brahm and find the way to make brahm happy above all are fake rituals and deeds. THIS IS DIRECT ATTACK TO HINDU RELIGION, BUT IF SIKHS ARE ALSO WALKING ON SAME PATH THEN THIS ALSO APPLICABLE TO THEM i.e IF THEY WEAR KHALSA UNIFORM BUT DO NOT KNOW ABOUT ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰ ਕਰਮੰ THEN ALL RITUALS THEY PERFORM HAVE NO MEANING i.e ਫੋਕਟ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਮੰ.

• Also explains difference of Nischai vs. Shardha. Nishchai is having open eyed faith where Shardha is close eyed faith.
