In Sikhism, what most you Love?

It is for too common in lot of Kathas while Parchariks are doing so to be very somber and almost to the point of sorrow. It is kind of softly suffocative and bewildered expression and ambiance all around.

The flip side is the “Charrh-di-Kala/Uplifted State” of being in Sikhism. One can find lot of such dualities and many of these are related to fundamental strengths in Sikhism.

I was wondering over the years that if one is a new Sikh or a person born into a Sikh family, what sustains and what are the key strengths? For example when I think the greatest gift I got from my parents! It was the ability to think independently rather than follow. It is not specific to Sikhism but certainly is strongly espoused in Sikhism.

So let use consider from a Sikhism perspective some of the positives,

• Is it the ability of Sikhism for straight talk or dialog with the one infinite creator/God?
  • You don’t need intermediaries and go-betweens
• Is it the Humanism aspects of equality, fairness and care for the impoverished?
• Is it the great love for our Guru jis and the teachings that so strongly and practically guide?
• Is it the martial nature and proud history association with generations past?

What you think!

The poll allows you to chose more than one, so express and also under other state what should be captured or is not included.

Thank you.

Sat Sri Akal.

ਜਿਹ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸਭ ਕੀ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਾਪੁ ਜਪੈ ਜਪੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੭॥
Through whose benevolence all find salvation. Nanak, cherishes such and only such be so cherished.

Kanwaljit Singh ji are you asking or suggesting? It stands for me "the creator". As per "Mool Mantar" and further expansion in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji even though being infinite is undefinable.

Are you suggesting that the key almost being "One creator" as well that needs to be added to the poll or the first choice clarified to imply one creator? I did change the grammar from "cherish" to "love" in thread title. Picky, picky Eh!

Sat Sri Akal.

No No for us Sikhi has introduced us to the Creator which is the most cherished thing!

For me the core attraction of Sikhism is that it basically runs in the opposite direction of most religions, namely

no reincarnation, (my interpretation, I know others may feel different)
no idol worship
no magical intervention from God
no miracles
no rituals
equality for all
no sin
no judgement day or even judgement on a daily basis

validation that this is the only life we have, and the chance to find heaven every single day
respect for every other religion, and understanding for others point of view
to be whoever you are, and enjoy whatever you do, as best you can within the confines of Sikhi, with a view to bettering yourself for yourself, not for God,
ultimately, the ability to be a universal policeman bound by Creators directive, to serve and protect Creation through natural instinct and pleasure, rather than brownie points

Harry Ji..Spot On..I would just add...I can proceed at my own personal pace....only in Gurmatt is that allowed or encouraged...no hurry...no inducements/lipops...no discouragements..hells and sufferings etc...to perusade or dissuade...I LOVE Gurmatt WAY.

Harry/Jarnail Ji!

Thank you. Just want to add, 'Universal Brotherhood' and chardi kala for all man kind through Ardas and langar (which no other religion has).

Veer Ji All religions run in one direction,some 'religious' run because they see others running and don't want to be left behind,but that is like running on a treadmill,it goes nowhere,running so to reach your destiny-nation is worthwile,don't fall in love with the route you take and especially don't fall in love with running as you will start buying new shorts and trainers but won't run right.

Veerji <scratching head> very glad to see you back but I am not sure if you are in agreement with me or not

for the benefit of those that have not come across SPji's posts before allow me to translate

All religions are constantly changing, evolving towards the truth, some religions even change fundamentally to suit present day thinking, but that just involves submission to the present day truth, rather than the eternal truth, which gives you all the grounding of a leaf in the wind,

Spji warns against enslavement to religion rather than the Creator, and also advises against pride in external signs of enlightenment, when concentration on such will only take you away from the Creator
