" A spiritually imperfect teacher is liable to mislead his disciples.

He who does not know the Reality himself cannot impart Truth to his

disciples. Sayeth Guru Nanak: —

 

" The disciples whose Guru is blind commit evil deeds. They do

everything according to their own will and always tell lies. They

practise falsehoods and always slander others. These slanderers drown

themselves and all their families " ....

 

For the Buddhist Dhamma is synonymous with Truth. The Buddha

identified himself with this immanent and transcendental law of

righteousness. In the Pali canon, a person, who is dedicated to this

Truth, is a Sikh. Sikhism has approved this doctrine. 

 

" If one knoweth, one realiseth that there is but one religion of

Truth. " [3]

 

" A Sikh is one who travels towards the house of Truth that the Guru

hath built. " [4] 

 

So the word Sikh does not mean a mere 'Shishya' (as used in

Sanskrit), the pupil, the taught, disciple or a follower. A mere

allegiance to a person or doctrine does not make one a Sikh. " A Sikh

is one who is dedicated to Truth; he who travels towards the Truth

that the Guru has built. " A Sikh is, therefore, one who values Truth

above all other things of the world. Those who follow the teachings

of Sikh Gurus can be called Sikhs. But if I simply say that Guru

Nanak is my Guru, I do not become a Sikh. A Sikh is one in whose

character there is regeneration; he is advancing towards the Truth

under the guidance of his Guru. He is learning and is following the

path of spiritual perfection; he has not realised Perfect Truth as

yet; he is on the way.  "
