Kaŵirikaŵiri, malangizo a Guru Nanak, woyambitsa Chisikhism, ponena za chakudya ndi awa: “Musamadye chakudya chimene chili choipa ku thanzi, chopweteka kapena chovutitsa thupi, chimayambitsa maganizo oipa.”
Thupi ndi maganizo n’zogwirizana kwambiri, choncho chakudya chimene timadya chimakhudza thupi ndi maganizo. The Sikh guru Ramdas akulemba za makhalidwe atatu a kukhala. Izi ndi rajas (zochita kapena kuyenda), tamas (inertia kapena mdima) ndi sattva (mgwirizano). Ramdas akuti, “Mulungu Mwiniwake ndiye analenga mikhalidwe imeneyi ndipo motero wakulitsa chikondi chathu kaamba ka madalitso a dzikoli.”
Chakudya chingathenso kugawidwa m'magulu atatuwa. Mwachitsanzo, zakudya zatsopano ndi zachilengedwe ndi chitsanzo cha sattva; zakudya zokazinga ndi zokometsera ndi chitsanzo cha rajas, ndipo zakudya zamzitini, zowonongeka ndi zozizira ndi chitsanzo cha tamas. Kuchuluka kwa zakudya zolemetsa komanso zokometsera kumabweretsa kusadya bwino komanso matenda, pomwe zakudya zatsopano, zachilengedwe zimakuthandizani kuti mukhale ndi thanzi.
Mu Adi Granth, malembo opatulika a Asikh, pali zonena zakupha chakudya. Choncho, Kabir akunena kuti ngati chilengedwe chonse ndi chiwonetsero cha Mulungu, ndiye kuti chiwonongeko cha chamoyo chilichonse kapena tizilombo tating'onoting'ono ndi kusokoneza ufulu wachibadwidwe wa moyo:
“Ngati mukunena kuti Mulungu amakhala m’chilichonse, ndiye n’chifukwa chiyani mukupha nkhuku?”
Mawu ena ochokera ku Kabir:
“N’kupusa kupha nyama mwankhanza n’kumatcha nyama yopatulika.”
“Inu mumapha amoyo ndi kuwatcha ntchito yachipembedzo. Ndiye kodi kupanda umulungu n'kutani?
Kumbali ina, otsatira ambiri a Chisikh amakhulupirira kuti ngakhale kuti kupha nyama ndi mbalame pofuna kudya nyama kuyenera kupeŵedwa ndipo sikuli bwino kuzunza nyama, kusadya zamasamba sikuyenera kusinthidwa kukhala phobia kapena chiphunzitso.
Inde, chakudya cha nyama, kaŵirikaŵiri, chimakhala ngati njira yokhutiritsa lilime. Kuchokera kumalingaliro a Asikh, kudya nyama kokha ndi cholinga cha "phwando" ndikolakwa. Kabir akuti, "Mumasala kudya kuti mukondweretse Mulungu, koma mumapha nyama kuti musangalale." Akanena zimenezi akutanthauza Asilamu amene amadya nyama pamapeto pa kusala kudya kwawo kwachipembedzo.
Akuluakulu a Sikhism sanavomereze mkhalidwewo pamene munthu akukana kuphedwa, kunyalanyaza zilakolako zake ndi zilakolako zake. Kukana maganizo oipa sikofunikira kwenikweni kuposa kukana nyama. Musanatchule chinthu china "chodetsedwa", ndikofunikira kuchotsa malingaliro.
Guru Granth Sahib ili ndi ndime yolozera ku kupanda pake kwa zokambirana za kupambana kwa zakudya zamasamba kuposa zakudya za nyama. Akuti pamene a Brahmins a Kurukshetra anayamba kulimbikitsa kufunikira ndi phindu la zakudya zamasamba zokha, Guru Nanak anati:
“Opusa okha amakangana pa nkhani ya kuloledwa kapena kusaloleka kwa chakudya cha nyama. Anthu amenewa alibe chidziwitso chenicheni ndipo sangathe kusinkhasinkha. Kodi thupi ndi chiyani kwenikweni? Kodi chakudya cham'mera ndi chiyani? Ndi uti wolemedwa ndi uchimo? Anthu amenewa sangathe kusiyanitsa pakati pa chakudya chabwino ndi chimene chimatsogolera ku uchimo. Anthu amabadwa ndi magazi a amayi ndi abambo, koma sadya nsomba kapena nyama.
Nyama imatchulidwa m'malemba a Puranas ndi Sikh; ankagwiritsidwa ntchito pa yajnas, nsembe zoperekedwa pa nthawi ya maukwati ndi maholide.
Mofananamo, Chisikhism sichipereka yankho lomveka bwino la funso la kulingalira nsomba ndi mazira ngati zakudya zamasamba.
Aphunzitsi a Sikhism sanaletse mwatsatanetsatane kudya nyama, koma sanalimbikitsenso. Zinganenedwe kuti adapereka chisankho cha chakudya kwa otsatira, koma ziyenera kudziwika kuti Guru Granth Sahib ili ndi ndime zotsutsana ndi kudya nyama. Guru Gobind Singh analetsa gulu la Khalsa, gulu la Sikh, kuti asadye nyama ya halal yokonzedwa motsatira miyambo yachisilamu. Mpaka lero, nyama sichimatumizidwa ku Sikh Guru Ka Langar (khitchini yaulere).
Malinga ndi a Sikhs, kudya zamasamba, monga choncho, sikubweretsa phindu lauzimu ndipo sikubweretsa chipulumutso. Kupita patsogolo kwauzimu kumadalira sadhana, chilango chachipembedzo. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, oyera mtima ambiri adanena kuti zakudya zamasamba ndizopindulitsa kwa sadhana. Chifukwa chake, Guru Amardas akuti:
“Amene amadya zakudya zodetsedwa amachulukitsa zonyansa; uno mwanda ukekala na mutyima wa kufwija’ko bantu ba kikōkeji.
Choncho, oyera mtima a Sikhism amalangiza anthu panjira ya uzimu kukhala osadya zamasamba, chifukwa chotere angathe kupewa kupha nyama ndi mbalame.
Kuphatikiza pa malingaliro awo oyipa pakudya nyama, a Sikh gurus amawonetsa malingaliro oyipa pamankhwala onse, kuphatikiza mowa, zomwe zimafotokozedwa ndi zoyipa zake pathupi ndi malingaliro. Munthu, atamwa mowa, amasokonezeka maganizo ndipo sangathe kuchita zinthu zokwanira. Guru Granth Sahib ili ndi mawu otsatirawa a Guru Amardas:
Wina akupereka vinyo, ndipo winayo amamulandira. Vinyo amamupangitsa kukhala wamisala, wosamva kanthu komanso wopanda malingaliro aliwonse. Munthu wotero sathanso kusiyanitsa zake ndi za wina, ndi wotembereredwa ndi Mulungu. Munthu amene amamwa vinyo akupereka Mbuye wake ndipo amalangidwa pa chiweruzo cha Yehova. Mulimonsemo musamwe mowa woyipawu.”
Mu Adi Granth, Kabir akuti:
"Aliyense amene amamwa vinyo, bhang (chamba) ndi nsomba amapita kugehena, mosasamala kanthu za kusala kudya komanso miyambo yatsiku ndi tsiku."
