Acharya Prashant explains that the three tenets of Sikhism—Dharma (right discipline), Daya (compassion), and Santokh (contentment)—are fundamentally one and can be summarized as honesty. He defines Dharma as the honest realization that one's current state of living, characterized by greed, fear, and suffering, is not right. It is the commitment and discipline required to break free from these ingrained patterns of suffering. This discipline is only possible when there is a sincere acknowledgment of one's own pain and a refusal to remain in that condition.
