Sikhs follow the teachings of their Gurus. The Gurus preached about one God, which is formless—no idol or image—mostly referred to as Vaheguru, but God has countless names, represented as 'Ik Onkar' or 'ੴ'. They emphasize removing ego from within, equality among humans, defending the needy if necessary, and much more, all of which is written in our holy book, Shri Guru Granth Sahib. ੴ is an omnipresent force that created everything, not separate from it, and is within but also encompasses everything. It is beyond birth, death, time, and reality. The goal of a Sikh is to attain Mukti, or liberation, from the cycle of life and death, as Sikhs believe in rebirth like other Indic faiths. In addition to this, there are 3 pillars: 1.) Naam Japo - Chant the name of God / Live in His remembrance. 2.) Kirat Karo - Work hard and live an honest life. 3.) Vand Chhako - Share your earnings and donate. Another important aspect is Seva, or serving the community, as well as the 5 virtues and 5 evils.
