Haumai , the ego as the root of human suffering, the five inner thieves, and the veil of Maya. Naam Simran , meditation on the Divine Name, from the first steps of vocal repetition to total immersion in the Divine. Seva and Sangat , selfless service and community as inseparable pillars of spiritual life. Nadar and Kirpa , the paradox of Divine Grace, the metaphor of the Groom and the Bride, the Viraha, and the joy of union. Ethics and daily life , from caste to sexuality, from empty rituals to interreligious dialogue, up to the cardinal virtues of Truth, Compassion, Contentment, and Humility.
