[1] The Sikh Gurus taught that these positive human qualities were Sat (truth), Daya (compassion), Santokh (contentment), Nimrata (humility), and Pyaar (love).
Sat is the virtue of truthful living, which means practising "righteousness, honesty, justice, impartiality and fair play.
One who is so blessed by the Formless Lord God renounces selfishness, and becomes the dust of all.The exercise of Daya, or compassion, involves "considering another's difficulty or sorrow as one's own and helping to relieve it as far as possible.
"[2] Be kind to all beings-this is more meritorious than bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage and the giving of charity.Nimrata, translated as "humility", "benevolence", or "humbleness", is the fourth virtue.
ਮਿਠਤੁ ਨੀਵੀ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਗੁਣ ਚੰਗਿਆਈਆ ਤਤੁ ॥ Humility, Nanak Says is the essence, the very root of all virtuesThe God-conscious being is steeped in humility.Pyaar requires Sikhs to be filled with the love of God.
