Nature of Sikhism
The khanda is the symbol of Sikhism. Sikhs have 5 different beliefs known as the Five Ks which they should practice:
- Kesh (hair, God has given it to you to keep so why shave it)
- Kanga (a comb to keep all of your long hair clean and hygienic)
- Kirpan (a sword to defend yourself; some people wear a necklace which has a miniature kirpan on it)
- Kachera (plain white cotton undergarment - reminds the wearer of high character and modesty)
- Kara (a metal bracelet which reminds a Sikh of honest living )

Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“God alone is our true good, and since we have forsaken him, it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature which has not been serviceable in taking his place: the stars, the heavens, earth, the elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
