Question

the sikh american community
principles of sikhism
though americans often demonstrate little awareness of sikhism, it is a robust religion with a hardy american community and is thus important to understand
pervasive nature: sikhism is a monotheistic religion centered heavily on the concept of \oneness\
central deity: the sikh religion usually refers to the concept of god as \wabeguru,\ also sometimes called \satnam,\ meaning \truth.\
egalitarianism: adhering to the concept of oneness, sikhs believe in equality between all people, regardless of caste, color, gender, nationality, or religion. this compliments typical american values rooted in the declaration of independence and the constitution
spiritual forces: sikhism expresses belief in rebirth and karma - a force dictating that good or bad behavior attracts good or bad future consequences. this also lends to a popular sikh perception that finding religion can result in a spiritual rather than literal rebirth
worship centers: sikh houses of worship are known as gurdwaras. they often contain clinics, schools, guest quarters, and community centers, exemplifying how sikhs value treating people well
source of knowledge: sikhs hold that 10 gurus were responsible for unveiling all knowledge about god, humanity, and salvation. the first nine were individual men, while the final was the granth sahib, the sikh holy book
which of the following best describes the central belief of sikhism?
everyone must fend for themselves.
all things are connected as one.
nature is made up of spirits.

Explanation:

The text mentions that Sikhism is a monotheistic religion centered heavily on the concept of "oneness". Egalitarianism (equality among all people) is also based on the concept of oneness. The other options ("Everyone must fend for themselves" and "Nature is made up of spirits") are not supported by the given text about Sikhism's principles.

Answer:

All things are connected as one.
