I believe it partially, I'm sikh and I think a lot of rules were based on them needing to identify each other or living in times of war, like keeping long hair and a beard, always carrying a kirpan (dull small blade these days used to be a full sized sword til the british forced changes)
Most of the shit is legit just telling you to be a good person because we all come from the same place and goto the same place. Energy, doesn't really have an afterlife, which I hated as a kid. Was so jealous other ppl get afterlifes lol.
I kinda like the concept, like the one omniscient god can't die or really live becaue they can't die, experince pain, or get hurt, so we live and exist to experience life/death, etc. for them. That's why once you stop caring about wordly desires you rejoin god.
Idk it's kinda fun and makes sense, kinda supports my personal belief that we all evolved to eventually become god like beings (not us but descendants millions of years from now)
Like if a god exists, they would set into motion all the events that need to occur for life to exist and eventually humans to evolve, but we aren't the final step or goal. It's like a simulation game where they know what combination of events leads to another god like being existing.
Or the more fun option is that time isn't linear, and whatever god is, is the furthest evolution of the human race and it loops back creating itself in a paradox.
