Paper 3
Revise: The Oneness of HumanitySahaj-dhari Sikhs follow the Sikh path but have not undergone initiation into the Khalsa. They may worship at the gurdwara, respect the Guru Granth Sahib, serve others and wear some or all of the Five Ks. Not being initiated does not exclude them from the Sikh congregation.
