Sikhism

Balance of Worldly and Spiritual

Success in worldly affairs should be balanced with spiritual practice, neither neglecting the other.

The Sikh ideal is not to choose between material and spiritual life but to integrate both. Prosperity achieved ethically and used compassionately is compatible with spiritual growth.

Living in the world, practice detachment; meet all challenges in a state of poise.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Granth Sahib

Sikhism offers a middle path between asceticism and materialism.
