However, for the purpose, an individual must listen to the shabad (sound), or naam (name), of the Lord. Emphasis is also placed on 'satsang', 'the congregation of truthful people'. The philosophy is also known as Science of the Soul or 'Sant Mat', meaning 'teachings of the saints'.

• Establishing and Maintaining charitable hospitals and/or dispensaries.
