Religion in context: To understand the values clearly research is needed.

However, the research of religion will impact the seeker of truth as well as the drive of inspiration which is needed. Each religion has their resemblances and alterations between others but the clear aspect is of love between others and the respect of mankind. By communication with many individuals it can be seen that many believe religion is only a label and is the root of conflict. However, the ones that value religion and implement into their life transform it into a lifestyle which is positive. The balance of life which involves removing the negativity which devours many people such as becoming involved in slander. The positivity should be implemented into lives of many which results to good actions rather than actions which make them weak in certain phases. In addition, the real religion is meditation and not what the world today thinks of religion. This is because most people believe that a religion consists of performing rituals. However, these rituals and acts are the attributes of religion but not the definition of religion itself. The real purpose of the man is to meditate on the formless one rather than performing religious rituals without meditation in their life resulting to emptiness. Many problems individuals see today can be simply solved with meditation which brings peace and control over the 5 vices. However, everything is under the will of God which is accepted by individuals associated with a religion. Every person seeks pleasure of some form in this world but the meditation of God is the long lasting pleasure with no negative attributes associated with it. The world needs to see the aim and goal of life as meditation rather than temporary world pleasures, as meditation is the long lasting bliss for everyone with no restriction.

Guru Granth Sahib Jees message is for the world and not only Sikhs. These fundamental beliefs are needed to survive the world which relates towards how the Sikh disciplines their own mind even when false things are being carried out within society. Living under Vahegurus will is important and according to which destiny has been assigned to the person, they can either be hit with the arrow of truth by Vaheguru or be driven away. A good example within Gurbani is that according to the mortals actions they are either driven towards God or driven further away.

The 5 Vices: The five vices or thieves prevent the individual from realising the real essence of their religion and what they are able to achieve. The restriction from achieving progress within every individuals lifestyle is due to the 5 vices which need to be controlled. It is difficult to control such things as in this age of kalyug; many are overruled with these thieves. They can be defeated but many think its impossible as they dont live consciously and actively enough to maintain the self discipline of the mind. Religion & Culture: Guru Nanak Dev Jee broke away from the previous rituals in India especially because many people were misled with these rituals. For

example, sati as a ritual just showed inequality between males and females..
