Revision history [back]

As Sikhs, we live in grisht ashram -- a householder's life. Sikhi is designed for householders. It is a path that allows us to stay centered and connected to the Infinite while in the midst of our daily lives. The lotus flower floats on top of the water, but its roots are firmly anchored in the mud. We do not have to become "worldly" in order to be spiritual, but we must experience Maya as it truly is and honor this incarnation by playing our parts joyfully, but not falling into the trap of any one of our personas. They are there so we can do the work we incarnated to do, but they are not our true identity, our Saatinaam. By developing one's personal discipline and doing daily sadhana and simran we can live with our head in the heavens, our feet well on the ground, and even remember our postal code whilst seeing God in all.
