Too often, we only understand the world from the lessons we're taught.
To grow, we should seek to understand the world from the perspective of others.
Here are 7 lessons I learned from @simran on how Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life:
@simran • Be a Student
The word Sikh means "student"
To be a Sikh is to practice the Sikh teachings daily.
A Sikh Teacher is referred to as a guru, a Sanskrit word that means moving from darkness to light.
In life, always be learning.
Adopt a beginner's mindset.
@simran • Take Action
Being a student is good.
But, the accumulation of knowledge is meaningless if it's not put to use.
Knowledge should be used to better one's life and the lives of others.
It's not enough to have information; it's about how we put it into practice.
@simran • Embrace Differences
Growth comes from being in relationships with those who challenge us.
We often overlook the opportunity to learn from people different from us.
And, to break down barriers and reduce hate, we need to reduce ignorance and increase exposure to all people.
@simran • Ik Oankar
Ik Oankar speaks to the oneness of all creation and the force that connects us all.
Through a divine spark in each of us, we are all interconnected and are actions can impact humanity.
It emphasizes the importance of connection and shared identity.
@simran • Love and Humanity
We need to learn to love our enemies, even in the face of fear and hatred.
We can accomplish this when we see everyone as part of ourselves and strive to maintain:
• Compassion
• Understanding
Even in non-reciprocal relationships.
@simran • Community
A community is powerful.
There's a danger to shutting ourselves or others down.
It can be powerful when we open up and uplift those around us.
A community's shared habits and rituals can be a transformative force in our lives.
@simran • Find the Light
Even in the darkness, there's light.
Simran, and his Sikh community, have experienced tragedies.
Even in this darkness, he and the Sikh community can see the goodness.
Adopting a mindset of hope and light can create a path forward through the darkness.
