Ideology Ideology is the fundamental idea that forms the bedrock of thoughts, words and actions of the individuals of a community. The idea of being a nirankari is very simple, yet profound. A nirankari is a ‘Sant’, trying to lead a simple saintly life at all times, in all places and among all relationships. Here, saintly does not mean dressing up in a specific way, rather embellishing our deeds with truth, love, tolerance, compassion and selfless service. A nirankari is guided towards selfless service by the mission’s first doctrine of Sewa, which does not mean helping or doing a favour; rather meeting out our responsibility being a human to serve others without seeking anything in return; it is indeed a blessing of god to have given us the intent, strength and intelligence to be able to serve others. We thus, thank the one who gives us an opportunity to serve.
