Householder's Path
Living as a householder with family responsibilities is the ideal, not renunciation of the world.
Sikhism explicitly rejects monasticism and renunciation. The Gurus taught that spiritual growth happens through engaged family life, honest work, and community participation.
Why go to the forest to seek God? He lives in all and remains ever-present.
This challenged the predominant view that spiritual advancement required leaving society.
