Pillars of a Spiritual Life
• Simran • Different than meditation • Important for Control of the Mind
• Gurbani • Everything should follow what is in the Scripture • Sri Guru Granth Sahib is meant for all of humanity. • It is written to help us find our spiritual origin
• Jeevan Jach • The right way to live. • We rely on mental strength Simran gives and the guidance of the Scripture to
make sure our behavior is appropriate.
