Sikh Discipline - A Sikh is required by the Sikh Gurus to live a disciplined and ordered life by doing pure and righteous deeds and actions. The following are the list of activities that a Sikh should engage in:
Read Gurbani - The initiated Sikh is asked by the Panj Piare during the Amrit Sanchar ceremony to recite the following 5 banis every morning as a commitment to the Sikh Gurus and Waheguru.
Wear the 5Ks or panj kakaar/kakke: These are the five items of faith that a baptised Sikh wears at all times as per the command of the tenth Sikh master, Guru Gobind Singh. The Five Ks are not merely symbols but articles of faith which collectively form the external visible symbols to clearly & outwardly advertise, display and identify the love of the Sikh for the Guru.
Kill the 5 Evils or five thieves as they are referred to in Sikh Scripture, are the five major weaknesses of the human personality at variance with its spiritual essence. This group of five evils comprises Kam (Lust), Krodh (Rage), Lobh (Greed), Moh (Attachment) and Ahankar (ego).
Practice the 5 Virtues - For Sikhs, the final goal of life is to reunite or merge with God (Mukti). The Sikh Gurus taught that to achieve this goal it was important to work hard at developing positive human qualities which lead the soul closer to God.

Three Pillars: Naam Japna - To meditate, recite and chant his Name; Kirat Karni – To honestly earn by ones physical and mental effort; and Vand Chakna – to “Share and Consume together” together form the golden rules of Sikhism. Read more .....
