Depends on individual, some get inspiration, answers, assurance from religious texts some from means u have mentioned.

The only religion i have some knowledge about teaches me to fulfill my social obligations and i don't think they can be meet by being lathargic and ignorant.

Did Guru Nanak Dev Ji Went Half Way ??

Guru Nanak Dev Ji never came back with religion.

He did the opposite.

"Na koi Hindu, na koi Musalmaan."

The religion itself was created by the subsequent Gurus as a practical necessity to keep the sheep-like masses away from ignoble practices.

It's not a way to 'reach God' as much as it is a way to 'behave morally' and to prevent people from worshipping falsehoods. Although, as time has shown, this has been met with varying success :whisling:

sikhism itself is not a religion its a dharma, when you say subsequent gurus what are you referring to, their has only ever been 1 guru and thats gurshabad.

I'm pretty sure that's the same thing :shifty:

Actually, the only true guru is Sat Guru :wink:
