God in sikhism sikhiwiki7/2/2023 ![]() In Sikh ethics, too, daya is inter alia, a basic moral requirement, a moral vow. In the Sikh Scripture, mahadaial (super compassionate), daiapati (lord of compassion), daial dev (merciful god), karima, rahima (the merciful one), etc., have been used as attributive names of God (GG, 249, 991, 1027, 727). One imbued with daya “chooses to die himself rather than cause other people to die,” says Guru Nanak (GG, 356).ĭaya is a divine quality and a moral virtue highly prized in all religious traditions. Daya, cognitively, observes alien pain affectively, it gets touched by it and moves with affectional responses for the sufferer and cognitively it moves one to act mercifully, pityingly, with kindness and forgiveness. It is deeper and more positive in sentiment than sympathy. ![]() ![]() It means ‘suffering in the suffering of all others’. Daya in Sikhism ĭaya (usually spelt daia in Punjabi), from Sanskrit "daya" meaning "to sympathize with, to have pity on, stands for compassion, sympathy". As a Sikh on emust feel the pain and suffering of other people involved in any tragedy. This concept 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. Sri Guru Granth Sahib page 903 Full Shabad
