Template:Transliteration (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang"., pronunciation: Script error: No such module "IPA"., meaning compassion) is a fundamental teaching of the Sikh religion and teachings. The other four fundamental qualities are truth (Template:Transliteration), contentment (Template:Transliteration), humility (Template:Transliteration) and love (Template:Transliteration). These five qualities are essential to a Sikh and it is their duty to meditate and recite the Gurbani so that these virtues become a part of their mind.
The importance of Template:Transliteration can be seen from the following Shabads from Guru Granth Sahib: Template:Quote
Template:Transliteration says to not ignore tragedies that take place in the world but to face them head-on and do whatever is possible within one's means. As a Sikh one must feel the pain and suffering of other people involved in any tragedy.
