How does doing good deeds such as kindness, charity and service fit within the spiritual lifestyle? People often ask "Why do we need spirituality or religion, what's wrong with just being a good person?"

Guru Nanak Dev ji says in Japji Sahib: 

ਤੀਰਥੁ ਤਪੁ ਦਇਆ ਦਤੁ ਦਾਨੁ॥
(Teerathh Tap Dhiaa Dhat Dhaan ||)
Pilgrimages, austere discipline, compassion and charity
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਪਾਵੈ ਤਿਲ ਕਾ ਮਾਨੁ॥
(Jay Ko Paavai Til Kaa Maan ||)
these, by themselves, bring only an iota of merit.

We believe everyone should know and experience spiritual bliss for themselves. Here at Nanak Naam charity we're on a mission to transform lives worldwide through Mantra-Mindfulness. Bhai Satpal Singh is a Sikh spiritual vlogger from the UK creating videos on meditation, mantra, mindfulness and spirituality based on non-duality.
