I have not love for appearances or for high castes. It is discipline that I love. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (Rehatnama Bhai Sahib Singh Jee)
In sikhi no one is higher or lower due to their social status or wealth. It is our actions that will bring honour or dishonour in Gods court. Gods light is in all, so how can we be any different if our soul is the same. Sikhi eliminated caste when Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji chopped of the heads from the 5 beloveds and put the heads on a different body and made them drink Amrit from the same bowl. (This proved we are all the same)
Recognize the human race as one – Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Dasam Granth Ji
The caste System is a Hindu belief and it is causing disunity in the Sikh Community due to us not listening to our Guru.
- People are building caste based Gurdwaras (Which is hypocritical)
- There are problems when it comes to marriages.
- It makes Sikhs feel isolated from other Sikhs.
Different sections (castes) of society develop hatred for one another and finish themselves through squabbles as the bamboos, due to their mutual friction, producing fire burn themselves as well as others. Bhai Gurdas Ji Varan
Recognize the Lord's Light within all, and do not consider social class or status; there are no classes or castes in the world hereafter. Ang 349 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
No matter what background, culture, race, gender, country and tribe you belong to, remember we are all equal because Gods light is within us all.
