I think you will find many interesting answers to this question if you do a searh by topic on this site. This question has been answered numerous times. Basically, I believe that wearing the turbin has to do with indentity. I identity myself as a Sikh...a seeker of God. Of course my behavior is what is the very most important. If I behave honestly, gracefully, kindly and wear a turbin then I am known for these things...Sikhs are known for these things. No, we are not better than anyone else...God does not love us more. Wearing the turbin is an act of humility, that we are giving our head to the Guru and identifying ourselves for that commitment. It is a humble statement that we are willing to serve the Guru by uplifting our soul and in so doing be a model to all for this humility and commitment. Wearing a turbin identifies us. What qualities you want to attach to that identity is up to you. It is a big responsibility. A turbin gives more weight to our actions and words. In this day and age where commitment is merely a word, identifying yourself to be a person of committed higher values is honorable and remarkable. Does it makes us better...no, it just identifies us as a human servant of God. Blessings. gtkk
