Again, we looked at the Holy Temple, which serves 100,000 people a day. And this vegetarian menu ensures that all people with all dietary restrictions can participate. So during Guru Nanak's time, people from different castes would eat together on the floor, and this was seen as revolutionary.

And beyond these pillars, you have this selfless service known as seva, and this forms another vital Sikh practice. And the seva may include cleaning the gudwara, preparing the meals, washing dishes, volunteering for community projects, or really any other form of service. assistance to other people that might need it.

And throughout practicing these principles and avoiding these five thieves, the six can work towards eliminating the ego and ultimately achieving this mukti, this liberation from the cycle of rebirth. And there you have it. That is basically Sikhism in a nutshell.

Of course, we don't have enough time to go over everything and all the gurus and all the details of what makes Sikhism so interesting and beautiful. I mean, again, this is a way of life. This is hundreds of years, 500 years, to be exact, of development within this worldview.

But that is, I think, a brief summary to get a lot of people like myself that didn't really know anything about these people or what they believe about the world. And it's come a long way, as you can imagine, right? Started by effectively one person in Punjab that now has communities all over the world. And what I think makes Sikhism so cool is just how straightforward the core ideas are, right?

One God for all people, regardless of who they are or where they work, and basically to come together and work hard and help each other. Pretty simple. And the Sikhs have managed to stick to these principles through some pretty tough times. I mean, their tradition of feeding anyone who shows up to the Gurdwara, no questions asked, show how they put their beliefs into practice.

So whether it's, you know, the guy with a pug or a turban helping out after a natural disaster or, you know, your local Gurdwara opening its doors during a community emergency, Sikhs continue to live by the values that the gurus taught, even the guru today, the main holy text. So at the end of the day, Guru Nanak's message was pretty simple. We're all here on earth. We're all going to die.

And while we're here, we might as well work together. So there you have it. I mean, I found that enlightening, to be honest. I might be sick, dude. I might fall in the way of the sickie. I mean, that is just... It's beautiful. I'd be so curious to talk to a sick person and be like, how do you deal with super technical moral philosophy? There's certain things that are not super black and white.

Obviously, these overarching messages of just, let's all get together, work hard together, and take care of everyone, specifically the poor and disenfranchised, is the most beautiful and core message of... I think all faith, right? Like I think Christianity at like its core at the best, like the teachings of Christ would teach the same thing.

And I'd be curious to know like how they deal with, you know, very specific, you know, like moral hazards or political issues or things like that. But that gives me a profound respect for six. I think that's so cool.
