The essence of the Sikh faith is the worship and praise of One God - Ek Onkar. An important distinction from other theistic faiths is that anyone, no matter
their faith, can achieve God. Sikhism teaches Equality as one of the core beliefs for a Sikh to live his/her life by. Equality, no matter what religion, country,
race or gender. Guru Nanak, the first Sikh spiritual leader, started to preach his message of the Oneness of God and equality of all humanity over 500 years ago.
He taught that God is The Ultimate Reality
and that the way for us to achieve this
reality is to lead a truthful life.
The goal of each of us should be
to achieve union with God,
or to realise God.
