"Sikhism accepts ahimsa as a positive value, and there are numerous hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh Scripture, advising man to cultivate the ethical values of daya (compassion) and prem (love). It, however, does not accept ahimsa as a mere absence of himsa or violence. Love, justice, equality, selfrespect and righteousness are some of the overriding social values to guarantee which even himsa would be permissible. Sikhs` social and ethical values are all derived from their metaphysical doctrine. Sikhism believes in the unicity of God, who in His manifest form pervades the entire creation."1
