The author laments the fact that people in general and the Sikh community in particular, who are blessed with wisdom of the way to true happiness, have fallen from the lofty ideals enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Mere ritualistic ‘karam-kand’ or mechanical recitation or repetitious singing of Gurbani, without understanding and practicing it in life, takes one nowhere. A Sikh’s outer persona must reflect the inner awakening through Nam-Japu-Simran. The author facilitates to dispel our doubts which often creep into the Sikh way of life from time. He supports his findings logically with copious references from Gurbani.
