Re: Basics of Sikhism Revisited

Taranjeetji

As you know, I hold you in the highest regard, however I am not sure I agree with these as pillars.

1. I think this is a personal practice, and there has been debate on this already, but calling it a pillar is giving it a lot of importance.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/37704-basics-of-sikhism-revisited.html
2. I do not fear God, why would I want to do that? That means everything I do is born out of fear of God, I find that a very Abrahamic position, The only sentence that should contain the words God and fear, in my view, is the sentence 'I Fear being without God', other than that God is inside us all, how can we fear a part of us?
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37704
3. There is nothing bad to be said about this pillar, but where is the importance of practical Sikhism, where is the importance of wisdom and knowledge through study and implementation?

I think to condense Sikhism into the above 3 pillars does not do the religion justice

my own thoughts, apologies for any offence
