    Sikhi In Everyday Life?

    I am learning sikhi. I was born into sikhism, but I fell out of it over the years (partly because I never learned anything, even though I tried hard to follow Guru's word). Now I am trying very hard to learn and become a true sikh. However, I have been having a lot of trouble lately on how one...

    Oh and Clarkejoey, power to you, my brother. I feel I find myself in the same position as you and wish you the strength to fulfill your objective.

    Cutting My Hair?

    The world is illusion, entrenched in Maya. So intructs our guru, Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Although I am nowhere near comprehending the meaning of these words (I am striving hard), I will offer my opinion and story on the subject. Through the confluence of many events in my life, a few months...

    Existentialism's "Authentic Existence" And "Moral Individualism":

    Existential philosophy involves a questioning of responsiblity. Are YOU actually carrying the weight of your moral judgements, or are you merely prescribing to a set book of rules, in which you remove yourself of carrying the burden of making moral calls and solicit only the book. As we all...

    Sikh Youth And Dating

    Sometimes in arranged marriages a dominator and dominitable are put together. Both have no motivation to break up even though both are destroying each other with great ferocity. Because there is great fuss....

    Evolution & Sikhism

    Who cares who made the universe or did not make the universe? Can you press the undo button? This is not Microsoft Windows. Do these concerns actually matter? You cannot reject life. Its a gift from whomever or no one at all. If it wasn't meant to be lived then it would not have been given...

    The Despicable Ego

    No, the "baba" is a perfectly respectble man. He is supremely humble, an excellent human being. Perhaps, my question arises from my own presumptions and assumptions. In that either I am wrong or I am right. Apart from that, I think Sikhism deals with both ego and egotism. I know the gurbani...

    Evolution & Sikhism

    I have not read everyone's posts here, but I would like to share my thoughts which might repeat ideas already mentioned. 1. First on the Morality: Morality really is not really derived from Gods. It is indirectly hardwired into our genetics. Our genes do not have a gene which comprises the...

    The Despicable Ego

    Harjas you write a lot and it is difficult to respond to all that you write (I shall do that in future posts). And Parma has some good points on religion (in general) but is hitting head on walls for reasons unknown to me. I want to, for now, stick to the question I posed previously: Which is...

    The Despicable Ego

    Yea, your are all right. But let me ask you, which is more important : achieving moral order(purity and all that) or becoming one with God (in whatever phrase you want to put that)? Secondly, like i put it first, how do you explain that christians have their god (with his own unique traits if...

    Sikh Youth And Dating

    Dating is overrated. Just make babies and propagate your religion. All we need is god. Who cares for a "life partner". All we need is to continue our lineages.
