Nimrata

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]
