Abstract

This paper reinterprets Gurmat as an integrated philosophical system. It posits Naam as the ontological architecture of reality, Hukam as its self-regulating order, and Shabad as its dynamic creative principle. Moving beyond individual devotion, the paper argues that the Khalsa represents the culmination of this system: a state of ethically sovereign consciousness from which just governance (Begampura) naturally arises. Using contemporary systems theory as a metaphor (not an empirical claim), it offers a coherent framework for understanding Sikh philosophy's approach to consciousness, ethics, and society.
