Guru Gobind Singh Ji teaches us that there are five types of Sikhi, one based on dealings, one by copying others, one based on greed, one based on faith, and one based on emotions of love. Sikhi based on dealings or Dhandey Di Sikhi is when one becomes a Sikh to deal with other Sikhs or even the Guru. They might become a Sikh to marry a Sikh boy or girl or make deals with Guru Sahib asking for something in return for doing Seva. Sikhi based on copying others or Dekha Dekhi Vali Sikhi is when someone becomes a Sikh because they want to feel like they belong. This is when the focus is more about the external than the internal and does not last very long. Sikhi based on greed or Hirsee Di Sikhi is when someone who has embraced Sikhi with the motive of greed. This person might think that if they become a Sikh then they will receive a lot of monetary wealth and only pursue Sikhi for this reason. Sikhi based on faith or Sidak Di Sikhi is when one embraces Sikhi with full faith and dedication to Guru Sahib. This Sikh never turns his/her back to Guru Sahib no matter what happens. Sikhi based on emotions of love or Bhav/Prem Di Sikhi is when one embraces Sikhi out of love for Guru Sahib. Someone practising this will love Vaheguru so much that they obtain Vaheguru. The accepted forms of Sikhi are Sidak Di Sikhi and Bhav Di Sikhi. To learn more about these types of Sikhi check out our article on the Five Types of Sikhi.
