    Does Sikhism Embrace Mysticism?

    My dear brother Ambarsaria kaurhug Its great to see you posting again! :grinningkaur: As always I find brilliant wisdom in everything that you say which makes me challange my understanding of things and helps me progress on my spiritual journey.

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Dear SPN, The only contention I was ever implying was that: religions are different in doctrine, institutional structure and even practice, however there is in my opinion a common basic need in human nature which religion, in whatever form, fulfils and at this most basic level one can find...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Thank you for your reply Tejwant ji, I think that I have given you ample thought process as well as a quote that explains the words attributed to Jesus on "love thy enemy" in context. Could you perhaps comment on the quote rather than merely ignore it because it is a quote? Why the aversion...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Dear Tejwant, Good insight, view religions objectively rather than subjectively. OK, so lets see whether you practice as you preach.... A subjective opinion. Objectively speaking, without bias, any scholar of religion would tell you that the Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic. Are you...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Dear Tejwant ji, Thank you for your post. Why is this, a topic for biblical scholars to discuss, even relevant to the moral message conveyed by the teaching I referred too? Did I ever insinuate that Jesus "wrote" anything? As you correctly noted he chose not to write anything but rather...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    This is where I, on a purely personal level, must give my own qualified disagreement (by qualified I mean disagree with you partially rather than wholly). I think that both points of comparison and fundamental differences can be mutually and equally informative. I, of course, see the...

    World Islamic Cleric Decrees It OK For Syrian Rebels To Rape Non-Sunni Women

    In the second article this has shocked me even more (if that were humanely possible!): I am mean, this just makes me speechless. Seriously, this is just appalling. I know that there are many moderate Muslims who will be sickened by this usage of a religious text to excuse criminal...

    World Islamic Cleric Decrees It OK For Syrian Rebels To Rape Non-Sunni Women

    Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/3/islamic-cleric-decrees-it-ok-syrian-rebels-rape-wo/#ixzz2Q9UzKhi6 I am absolutely appalled by this! I just cannot bring myself to comprehend that in the midst of a brutal civil war, a religious cleric - who is supposed, surely, on...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    The underlying unity is that every religious experience is a human experience. We are not human beings have a spiritual experience but spiritual beings sharing in a human experience. Every human being has the same body make-up, we breathe the same air, inhabit the same earth and have one, common...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Well, in the end aren't apples and oranges both "fruit"? So there is an underlying identity there even though they look and are very different in kind. Given that you have said that and weddings have been heavily mentioned in this thread, I cannot resist this youtube clip from the film, "My...

    Judaism Judaism & Sikhi

    Well, I am surprised to find this thread back :mundahug: In furtherance of what I was saying in the initial post, Jewish mysticism - whether Kabbalah or of the Hasidic kind - has long held a fascination over me. I used to be rather obsessed with Judaism in general. I own a Jewish...

    One God, So Many Religions

    As it is with you brother Ambarsaria ji :mundahug: Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my question, in the illuminating and thoughtful manner in which you always do. I do agree that the orientation away from the Gurus being seen as prophets or deliverers of a message is...

    One God, So Many Religions

    Dear Ambarsaria ji :mundahug: I just wanted to tell you that I really truly appreciate the insight you provide above. It really makes sense to me and in fact I share much the same belief with regards to the birth, growth, consolidation and decline of world religions in relation to the original...

    Opinion How To Pick A ‘secular Pope’ For The UN

    I think that the UN suffers from similar problems to the EU, except that the EU has far more legislative clout due to it having not just soft law but hard law through treaties and its various directives. Van Rompuy, an administrative figure lacking in charisma, was made the first permanent...

    Pati Thore Malini | ਪਾਤੀ ਤੋਰੈ ਮਾਲਿਨੀ ਪਾਤੀ ਪਾਤੀ ਜੀਉ

    Thank you for your splendid commentary Finding :mundahug: It is sometimes wonderful to read penetrating explanations from a wise mind, of verses (tuks) that might at first seem somewhat deep and unintelligible. Ambarsaria ji also has a rare knack for doing this. He created a series of threads on...
