Isn't it possible that it could neither? They simply accepted them just as they are, no judgement either way?

This is a very interesting topic, the PDF file is going to take me a while to get through but the first couple pages seems interesting already. There a reason the study of ethics falls into philosophy, I cant say ive really given this topic much thought in direct regards to sikhi.

Couple things, the point was to say that there are other reasons for sex than simply procreation. Secondly, Im not sure I follow the idea of homosexual behavior (some clarification would be nice) Because to me thats describing something/someone being transgendered. Which is a different...

Personally for me, I do see the SGGS as a 'living guru', words weather heard or read have the same meanings. Its really how you choose to live your life, teachings in a book as you have said is no different than a physical person saying those things out loud. You could listen to someone tell you...

I have a general question for the sangat... I recently have started a new business and I find myself not having time to actually read Gurbani or go to the Gurdwara as much as I would like to. As a result I'm feeling disconnected from my faith (i.e. Im getting to caught up in everyday...

SainiJi Thank you for this explanation, I think I just got it! I was having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

I guess I failed to articulate what I meant.... To ppl who perform these empty rituals they may not seem empty to them. So, if by hukam or gurparsad we can become 'enlightened', those that do follow rituals etc isnt then by hukam that they do that? Even to understand naam, wouldnt that be...

Re: Questioning/losing faith As you can already see there are many different answers to all your questions, and all of them are equally correct. Science hasnt done this either, and Ive never really understood why this was necessary to my life currently... IMO this idea of God as a creator...

I had a thought as I was reading your post.... if someone believes that murti puja, fasting, etc is the way of truth and thats what they hold in their life... isnt that living with in hukam for there life? Weather someone else sees it as wrong or right, necessary or unnecessary. Ive stated...

I think there are plenty of reasons why this type of thinking has lingered in sikhism, same reason its around every other relgion...peope like an easy out, sometimes doing the actual reading and comprhending is hard and if someone of 'authority' is telling you to do something people will listen...

This is s topic that has come up a fair bit in my family, by birth we are hindu. However the it took almost 2 decades before I ever saw an actual hindu wedding. Meaning that we are a mixed family, having both sikhs and hindus for 2-3 generations now. I dont recall any gurdwara ever having a...

I dont think it matters about the bulb, hair like nails grows at a constant rate any chemicals that change in your body are generally shed into your hair.... so you can typically tell how long ago a certain chemical was taken in based on the location in hair cell. From my understanding...

Im sorry, but the environmental debate is just silly.... I was trying not to respond as Ive expressed my views earlier but it just seems ludicrous How much of our deforestation is happening secondary to ariguluture? The crops that sell are planted in favour of those that would most likely aid...

Ill be honest, I don't think I've opened a physical Gutka in years.... Im still wrapping my head around the concept of it being a Gutka for only those moments, because if the problem is the houses/practices of those who have the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji in their homes... then does it let you...

I think this issue is very fascinating because ultimately our bodies are lost to this world anyways.... so does it really matter what we pierce/shave/paint etc? None of it goes with you in the end....
