    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Thank you very much for the kind response. I think the fact that you have responded so peacefully shows some wisdom on your part, maybe wisdom that I lack. You can have a hug :) I think we do come from different backgrounds, and it can be very difficult to recognize that one person's history...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Original Ji, First of all, please do not address me as "young man." Unless you would like to be called "old man." Harry is a wise man, and I recognize and respect his wisdom. However, I will not tolerate being put down. There are times for respect, and there are times to stand up for...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    You have really misinterpreted me here. I'm not wishing to get into an argument, and I am not wishing to insult anyone. Alright. That is your opinion. Please do not use it to limit others. I have read many of your posts, and I can tell that you have very wise things to say. Don't keep...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Firstly, it wasn't patronizing, but I cannot agree with it, as it was insinuating that young people cannot be spiritual (or AS spiritual as when you are older). It only takes a quick look at the world to see just how wrong that is, and how many 'elders' are really just bigoted old men who have...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Thank you. I deeply respect what Original Ji has to say, but I cannot agree with him speaking down to my abilities (not just mine, but anyone of my age). "Wisdom does not come from experience, wisdom comes from the capacity to experience." I started spiritually experimenting with meditation...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    I yearn for the truth. I have experienced the parties, the 'dating', the 'living', and it feels empty to me. I am living that life of experimentation now, and it doesn't feel satisfying. I want to step onto the spiritual path, and find a love which will help me along that path. I know I am...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    It is an interesting question, and probably not one that I have the learning to be able to properly answer. But if you are going to ask that, then why not ask what the purpose is in living an honest and true life? That line of questioning doesn't lead you to answers, IMO. I think spiritual...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Hello everyone who has responded; thank you very much for the responses. Original, harry haller, your responses in particular have given me a lot to think about. Unfortunately I have been involved in quite a long argument on another forum regarding this topic, and I simply don't have the...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    I would tend to agree. Perhaps some such questions will come out of our discussion. You think that Sikhism is not about enlightenment? Then why do you follow it? This sounds like what I was saying. I never depicted sach khand or nirvana as a heaven-like place. That's a very Abrahamic view...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Thank you! :D I was introduced to Sikhi through the talks of Ishwar Puri, who is a Radha Soami. He speaks about the initiation of a perfect living master, a satguru, being necessary to reach Sach Khand. This is a teaching I struggle with quite a lot. Really? I was under the impression that...

    Questions From A Non-sikh

    Hello everyone, I have received some very good answers to these questions on another forum and they recommended that I come here for a better discussion. As the title of the thread suggests, I am currently exploring Sikhi as well as other religious beliefs (including Buddhism and Radha Soami...
