Nimrata (Gurmukhi: ਨਿਮਰਤਾ nimaratā) is an important virtue that is vigorously promoted by Gurbani and Sikh history. It is alternatively known as Gareebi.[1] The literal translation of this Punjabi word is "Humility", or "Benevolence". The other four virtues are: Truth (Sat), Contentment (Santokh), Compassion (Daya) and Love (Pyaar).[1]
During a langar meals; among Sikhs, they are expected to serve the meal with humility (nimrata).[2][further explanation needed]
Virtues are characteristics or capabilities attained that impact how we act. The Sikh religion identifies five virtues or qualities for a Sikh: compassion (daiya); truth (satt); contentment (santokh); humility (nimrataorgareebi); and love (pyaar). These are deemed fundamental to human development, ethical living, and transcendence.… NimrataorGareebi refers to "humility" or "humbleness." Guru Arjan says, 'The Divine-conscious being is steeped in humility. They take delight in benevolence and serving others.'
