Sikhism believes in One immortal formless God. The God of all people regardless of religion or race. God is self-illumined, without fear, sans enmity. Truth is Gods name.

PART 5. CONCLUSION
The worship of idols in any form does not free the mind to doing services of just cause. The rewards are none to them, the reward achieved in their lives are of consequence and not the result of idol worship. People always need some sort of hope when their minds are not yet enlightened. The philosophy of The Guru Granth Sahib takes one to a higher plane of thinking to rid the mind rituals
This did not come from Islam or Christianity. You be the judge
Dear VC,
I have not had the time to read the later posts. From this post I will show you a few things:
1.Sikhs wear turban and keep beard. Do you follow that also?
2. In the very beginning, the post says that God is Truth. While you have maintained that God is Love. So, please change your belief.
The point is that truly there are thousands of perceptions of the Ultimate God. Using a Murti is the most loving one, like you might be keeping a picture of someone in your purse or your pocket or on your table. Why? Is is not love?
Some say that God is truth, some say Love, some say energy, some say order etc. etc.
Saying that My view alone is correct is akin to saying "I love my wife since she is so beautiful. You all must love her the way I love her".
Ha Ha Ha.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
