'''Sikhism''' (also known as '''Sikhi''' or '''Gurmat''') is a ''Dharma'' — a spiritual path based on ''Sach Dharma'', the eternal truth. It centers on the realization of the ''One'' (''Ik'') and provides insight into the nature of the ''Soul'' (''Jyot''), its entanglement in ''Maya'' (illusion), and the way to cross the ''worldly ocean'' (''Bhavsagar''). The term ''Sikh'' means a learner — specifically, one who seeks ''Brahm Gyan'' or ''Atam Gyan'' (divine and self-knowledge). To live in ''Hukam'' (the Divine Order) and to ''Bujhna'' (realize or unravel its mystery) is one of the core practices in Sikhism, guiding the seeker to align with the cosmic will and attain inner clarity. The philosophy of Gurmat was understood and explained by spiritually awakened beings such as ''Bhagats'' and ''Gurmukhs'' like [[Bhagat Kabir]], [[Bhagat Namdev]], and others. [[Guru Nanak Dev]] revived and re-established this universal wisdom, engaging with leaders of different faiths and compiling the spiritual expressions of these enlightened souls. This tradition was continued by successive Gurus, with [[Guru Arjan Dev]] compiling the ''Guru Granth Sahib'' and [[Guru Hargobind]] establishing the ''Miri-Piri'' (temporal-spiritual) principle. [[Guru Gobind Singh]] later gave it a collective form as the ''Khalsa Panth'', an order dedicated to living and defending the ideals of Gurmat. In a worldly sense, Sikhism is regarded as one of the major and youngest organized religions, with the lineage of Sikh Gurus seen as its founders beginning from Guru Nanak. However, in the spiritual sense, as expressed in ''Har Jug Jug Bhagat Upāiā'' — “In every age, the Divine manifests true devotees” — the essence of Sikhism precedes its institutional form and represents the timeless path of divine truth.
