What religion uses the Guru Granth Sahib?

Why a Sikh might become a member of the Khalsa?

The word "Khalsa" is derived from Arabic khalis (literally meaning "pure" or "unsullied") and Perso-Arabic khalisah (literally pure; office of revenue department; lands directly under government management), is used collectively for the community of baptised Sikhs.The word "Khalsa" appears in the Guru Granth Sahib. It is mentioned in the bani of Bhagat Kabir thus: ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਨ ਭਏ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਜਿਹ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੩॥Kaho Kabīr Jan bẖa ė kẖālsė parėm bẖagaṯ jih jānī. ॥4॥3॥Says Kabeer, those humble people become pure - they become Khalsa- who know the Lord's loving devotional worship.॥4॥3॥ (SGGS p655)Although the word "Khalsa" existed before 1699, it is accepted that the Khalsa panth or Khalsa movement was started by the tenth Sikh Master. In the Sikh Holy book, called the Guru Granth Sahib, Bhagat Kabir uses the word "Khalsa" for the first time in Sikh sacred literature. The tuk (line) that contains this word is: ਪਰਿਓ ਕਾਲੁ ਸਭੈ ਜਗ ਊਪਰ ਮਾਹਿ ਲਿਖੇ ਭ੍ਰਮ ਗਿਆਨੀ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਨ ਭਏ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਭਗਤਿ ਜਿਹ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੩॥Pari o kāl sabẖai jag ūpar māhi likẖė bẖaram gi ānī. Kaho Kabīr Jan bẖa ė kẖālsė parėm bẖagaṯ jih jānī. ॥4॥5॥Death has fallen on the whole world; the doubting religious scholars are also listed on the Register of Death. Says Kabeer, those humble people become pure - they become Khalsa - who know the Lord's loving devotional worship.॥4॥5॥ (SGGS p654)In Gurbani (or holy hymns), Amrit is repeatedly equated with naam, the Name, or Sabda, the Word (e.g. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 729,644,538,394). It is Amrit of the True Name which when imbibed quenches and satiates all appetites (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 594).Amrit is also used in Gurbani in the adjectival sense of sweet, delicious, good, sweetsounding, etc. in phrases such as "amritu bhojanu namu hari" "God`s Name is delicious food" (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 556), "amrit katha" dulcet discourse (GG, 255), "amrit dristi" immortalizing glance (GG, l9l), "Amrita pria bachan tuhare" sweet are Thy words, 0 Dear One (GG, 534). Guru Amar Das Ji in an Astpadi (eightstanza hymn) in Majh measure describes different characteristics of amrit such as eradicator of ego, producer of amrit effect, a means to liv (concentration,) and giver of happiness (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 11819).This amrit of God`s Name is realized from within one's self and can be realized at any hour of day or night, but the best time conducive to realization is the last quarter of night or the early morning to which Guru Nanak refers as Amrit Vela; when the devotee may contemplate the greatness of God (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 2). Guru Angad Ji says that during early morning, the last quarter of night, the awakened ones develop a fondness for cultivating the True Name (Sri Guru Granth Sahib, 146).
