Dear Seeker - Welcome !

All religions more or less sing the same hymn albeit from a different page. Sikhism on paper is a religion and, in practice is a philosophy - a way of life. This is a way of life based on profound thought process and practical experience of life.

As is the human condition, "with age comes muturity and with maturity comes wisdom", so is true for the spiritual understanding of Sikhism. The rationale behind this thought process is twofold, temporal and spiritual. Where the former a necessity to understand how utterly helpless and powerless is the human condition before the will of God and the latter, how best to circumvent and find Union.

Depends very much on your current disposition; I'm for ever knocking people back into the social world to learn from life in itself before surmounting spirituality. This is because Sikhism advocates a householders life as the bedrock of society. The founder of Sikhism, Baba Nanak, called out to the hermits, ascetics and those in solitude to come and participate in event and circumstance and at the same time connect with the omnipresent.

Hope your intellectual and spiritual developments benefit as a result with SPN.

Once again, welcome

Ciao
