The same is with the Sikhs these days. There was news few days back that Sikhs took away Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from a village because people were not able to respect Him as they wanted. Apart from this they blamed that cigarettes were lying on the floor around the holy Guru.

It was surprising why these persons did not demonstrate the respect for the Guru by cleaning the floor instead of removing HIM and make those villagers feel of belonging to lower caste among Sikhs.

It would be great and wonder when someone can sweep ignorance by removing idols.

The world is full of idol worshipers.

Is a Sikh to spend life in controlling and stopping idol worship?

In my view, ignorance vanishes by true Simran alone.

Strange is that Hindu Scriptures often mention God beyond Maya. Still, many of them have become worshipers of sculptures made of stones.

The Gurus sang. All movements are God's Aartee. O God! Aartee takes place as you like it.

Today Sikhs give Hindus a wry smile because they do Aartee with lamps, flowers, etc. in hands.

And Hindus give Sikhs a dry smile because they do Aartee with Harmonium, Tabla etc. in hands,

what Tenth Guru thought about idol worshipping can be seen from Triya Charitat 266 or say 405ned at Chaupayee Sahib.Or say Jaffernammah,where Guru calls himslef a idol breaker.


But even in Tau Prasad Swaye of Akal Ustat at end we repeat as Guru said.

Some one worship idols.some one runs to worship dead,they all run for filthy act and do not get the end of Sir Lord(God).

When we are to bow to Guru Panth or Guru Granth as a rule when our forehead touches ground we need to keep God in our mind and no object,no man dead or alive,no image and no thing which is made say a scriputre also.

Same is told while we are told to do Naam Abhyas.
