The work reflects the distinctive worldview of Sikhism, the only major Indian religion that does not regard asceticism as a legitimate path to liberation.Composed by Guru N?nak, a medieval, north Indian saint-poet and venerated founder of the Sikh tradition, the Siddh Gos?? is a dialogue between Guru N?nak and several N?th yogis who had been pursuing a rigorous path of hath-yoga as renunciates of the material world. Through their dialogue, Guru N?nak teaches the N?th yogis a spiritual path that also includes involvement in the social world and offers a practical way to achieve liberation. In The Socially Involved Renunciate, Kamala Elizabeth Nayar and Jaswinder Singh Sandhu provide background on Sikhism, highlight the ethical teachings expounded in the Siddh Gos??, and demonstrate how Guru N?nak reconciles the polarities of the ascetic and householder ideals. 606 $aSpiritual life$xSikhism 606 $aRenunciation (Philosophy) 606 $aAsceticism$xNatha sect 606 $aMoks?a 615 0$aSpiritual life$xSikhism. 615 0$aRenunciation (Philosophy) 615 0$aAsceticism$xNatha sect. 615 0$aMoks?a. 676 $a294.6/82 700 $aNayar$b Kamala E$g(Kamala Elizabeth),$f1966-$01809426 701 $aSandhu$b Jaswinder Singh$f1973-$01809427 701 2$aNanak$cGuru,$f1469-1538.$01809428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955906503321 996 $aThe socially involved renunciate$94360206 997 $aUNINA
