Caring for the Vulnerable
Special attention should be given to caring for widows, orphans, and the disabled.
Sikh communities have traditionally provided support for the vulnerable. Caring for those who cannot care for themselves is a direct expression of seeing God in all beings.
Protect the poor and destroy the oppressor.
This mandate extends the warrior duty to include protection of the vulnerable.
