Sikhism says forget the caste system, forget race, its your deeds and actions you are judged on here and now. People who dwell in teh 5 thieves are consigned to a hellish existence, i.e. they are Munmukh. Those who are Gurmukh don't have this hellish existence and are at one with God.

I appreciate your bluntness in putting across Einstein's theory. It shall be so.
Regarding second point about Hindu Caste system; it is suggested that we should come out of our own shackles that Hindu beliefs and hindu religion are same. Many a times religion is not the fountain source of all the beliefs and this is one of them. Hindus beliefs have undergone a change[ if not drastic]. Hindus do not read Vedas and I do not know if these are published by any publisher. I have never seen any advertisement from publishers. The Vedic concept of Hinduism is not at all and should not be in vogue.
The point made is Hindus do not hold any philosophical ground. The philosphy is either Vedantic or
non. The caste system is not observed in a manner that is prejudicial. Many temples have sprung up.
I think sikhs are very conscious of themselves and their religious system than any Hindu. To me they are just brothers. You might have remained unanswered to some of points.
AS an afterthought.
I think every faith believes in the excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure is a sin. Sikhs have just named these and have labelled them. Gurmukhs and Manmukhs should be the terms that fit in theist and atheist .
I should be corrected.
These are concepts that have simplified conveying the concepts.
Do you think we really have something new besides bana and something other in our broad conceptual framework at macro level.[like Nitnem, Holy Congregation, Naam jaap ,simran etc.....] ?
If one in million of Gurmukhs is likely to be through in one's life ;is it not almost trying to achieve an Herculian task; and as per probability theory one stand a chance of 1/10 ^6.; I should be out of row. I should be happy in doing my Jap Ji sahib Paath once a day and that I used to do before I visited this site. Rest leave the things to HIM for Guidance.
Word or naam is not something new.
How to get it is new but we do not know much. You can see the recent post by namjap ji and he stopped at the beginning.
I am sincerely sorry that I have to edit my posts quite a lot. I should work up with my writing.
You may post that you like I shall not edit now.
