==Primary Sikh Scriptures==
'''Primary Sikh Scriptures''' are the main source of '''Gurmat teachings''' and show the true path for the soul. While subjects like science or mathematics help in worldly life, the study of the '''Sri Guru Granth Sahib''' and other main scriptures helps in spiritual growth and understanding of truth, which is most important for the soul.

'''Dasam Granth''' also conveys the essence of '''Gurmat teachings''', focusing on the glory of the '''Akaal''' (the Timeless One). It also explains the spiritual and historical development of religions in the Indic world and how different matts or paths arose over time. It shows that all powers belong to the '''Nirankar''' (Formless One), even when people describe them in material or worldly ways. This scripture especially guides the '''Khalsa warrior''' — who is both a warrior and a preacher — providing knowledge of religious history and spiritual wisdom, so they can lead, teach, and uphold the truth of Gurmat, while ordinary followers primarily focus on what their soul needs for spiritual growth.

For a common Sikh, study and guidance come from the '''Sri Guru Granth Sahib''' alone, while a Khalsa engages with both the '''Sri Guru Granth Sahib''' and the '''Dasam Granth''' to understand, uphold, and teach Gurmat principles fully.
