Your words:

"Nor should we take any action that demeans or insults others. I can understand why some would think any attempt to extract passages from Sri Guru Granth Sahib JiJ would be equivalent to cutting Guru's limbs. And I can understand why people would be upset by that

But the origins of those same teachings and the rest of their canon should also be acknowledged and it is not the intention to insult or undermine Sri Guru Granth Sahib JiJ?"

The statement is confusing to me, and almost contradictory.

What do you mean by the origins of "those same teachings" that "have not been acknowledged?"

Which teachings have not been acknowledged? Who has not acknowledged them?

What do you mean by "the rest of their canon?" Are you referring to the rest of the canon of writings by Sant Ravidas that are not included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji? And who do you mean by "their?"

or,

Are you saying that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as written is not a complete Sikh scripture?

Quite rightly you state that any "attempt to extract passages" from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is insulting to Sikhs because it is like "cutting the Guru's limbs." You have also said you can see why Sikhs would be upset if Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji were undermined. But this is confusing. Any suggestion that there is some canon beyond Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji that makes Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji complete is also insulting.

Please do clarify.

If this is a conversation that is meaningful for members of any Sant Ravidas panth, do we need to start a new thread and place it in Interfaith dialogs?
