On the other hand, one who is fired with Truth, one who has realized the meaning of life, one who wants to live a good, dutiful and purposeful life, beyond the worldly goods and
commodities and one who seeks to live as the Gurus ordained us to live, for that person this exterior form of Sikhism is the prime content of this great religion.
Indeed the more one reflects, the more one realizes that this form is actually, truly and basically a part of the content of the Sikh way of life. Every Sikh must ask himself or herself
these questions. Have I conquered my ego (haumai) if I want to appear as most others are according to the contemporary concept of beauty, smartness and easy life?
Are these concepts not relative to time, place and even the current economic power of an alien culture? Have I understood the concept of God's Will ('Hukam'), if I object to one part (the so-called exterior aspect) of Sikhism but give lip-sympathy to the other?
Those who do not believe in the basics of Sikhism but keep its form just by tradition or only at the behest of their social group, are more likely to slide downside when they want to lead the loose life of crime, illegal existence, extramarital sex and alcohol abuse.

yes,I 100 percent agrees with the author of this true story that this exterior form of Sikhism is the prime content of this great religion.That's why our great gurus has choosen this form.
By keeping this exterior form one declares without speaking that he has the preachings of the GURUS in his/her HEART.
