In Kaljug (the dark age), God has put the fire of Sin in our bodies, the objective of this game is to extinguish this fire and be content. The fire contains dark energies as such as greed, lust, ego, anger and attachment. These Dark energies keep us trapped in Sin and falsehood. They cause the destruction of our soul and body. Gurbani tells us that by reading Gurbani, doing Sangat, doing our Nitnem, asking Guru Ji for help, meditating on Waheguru at Amrit-vela, and by doing Kirtan we can extinguish this fire (of dark passions). Only with the Guru’s grace can we get liberated from this fire. Once we are liberated the false desires and world pleasure no longer bother us. One feels a soothing and poise peace, which brings contentment. But this test that God created is not easy, as temptations and evilness is all around us in society.
As a Sikh we may see and hear of our friends and family having boyfriends, girlfriends and sex before marriage. But we must remain distinct as Guru Ji said:

Without having Anand Karaj those who have sexual relationships. Listen O' Sikh the Guru states, he is not my Sikh.

Our friends may go KFC and eat chicken, wear a baseball hat and take all types of drugs. But a Sikh must stay vegetarian, drug free and wear a turban.
Meat, opium, drugs and tobacco. Ganja, wearing hats, another's woman and alcohol. He who never even gazes at these evils. Recognize them as my disciplined Singh.

While your friends are coming back from clubbing at 3am, you must awake and worship the lord in order to destroy all the negative energies within us. In this way we will not be corrupted by falsehood and reach the true destination (Merging back with Waheguru).
They are the Khalsa who destroy the five evils. They are the Khalsa who burn away delusion.
Thankhaanama Bhai Nand Laal Jee
With the sword of spiritual wisdom, kill the five demons. Remain awake and aware to the Guru's Teachings.
Ang 1413 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
As your friends earn money by credit card frauds, selling intoxicants or whatever corrupted deeds they do. You must have a respectful (honest) job and give to charity.
Those who do not give one tenth of their earning to the Guru and earn a living of deceit and corruption. Listen carefully Nand Lal as Guru Gobind Singh speaks, they will suffer thousands of hells at death.
Rehatnama Bhai Nand Laal Jee
Sikhs should not be selfish and greedy and must share with others. People spend thousands on luxuries while next man hasn’t even got a sack of rice (Keep that in mind, the next time you go shopping). A flash car will get you a speeding ticket, a 100 bags of rice sent to the deprived will get you closer to Waheguru.
Do not just eat on your own; always try to share with others.
Rehatnama Bhai Desa Singh
Adultery, gambling, dishonesty, stealing and intoxicants; these are five sins of the world which the Singh abandons.

Those who praise the Lord in the early hours of the morning and meditate on Him single-mindedly are the perfect kings; at the right time, they die fighting.
