Sikhs emphasise two primary aspects of daily life: service and devotion to God. Service and devotion: or Sewa and Simran.The goal of Sikhism is to end the cycle of rebirth and be united with God. God created everything, so all life is good, but attachment to material things leads to reincarnation and the sufferings of birth and death. God, the unknowable, becomes the teacher who reveals God to those who follow. When Sikhs speak of the Guru they are referring to God, the Great Teacher.He can be known by the grace of the Guru. Sikh basic beliefs are summed up in the words of the Mool Mantar, the first hymn written by Guru Nanak and part of Japji Sahib, the first Bani that appears in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib: God is called Satguru – " True Guru" and Waheguru - "Wonderful Guru". There is one God: God made everything.
