sikhism is the ONLY RELIGION that advocates Jeewan Mukt....

ALL others talk about LIFE AFTER DEATH....heavens, hoorans, pariahn..rivers of milk honey,,hell syaitan and devils..WHICH INCIDENTLLY NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN OR COME BACK AND TESTIFIED ABOUT ?? tHEY TELL YOU TO JUST BELEIVE ON fAITH AND THEIR SAY SO...

gURBANI SAYS..GIVE ME muktee now..SO THAT ALL CAN SEE AND BELEIVE....WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH..??? ALL OTHERS ON THE OTHER HAND..TALK ABOUT AFTER DEATH ONLY.....EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL....FEAR OR REWARDS...

WORSE ARE THOSE THAT PROMISE A VAST UNENDING SUPPLY OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND WINE ?? SO MALE CENTRED ?? WHAT ABOUT WOMEN ?? ARE THEY LESBIANS..
IN FACT this is nothing but pandering to what most men want anyway..unlimited women a nd alcohol ??

And whay want women ?? are we still having the body ?? but wasnt that body buried and rotten..or burnt..or destroyed ??
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-gurus/14853-if-all-paths-equal-then-why.html

It is apologetic to say ALL religoins are the Same..or all Gods are the same...
SIKHISM is UNIQUE.
Waheguru of Sikhism is UNIQUE.
Neither Sikhism nor its Akal purakh/Waheguru are the Same as any other Gods.

Re: If All Paths Are Equal Then Why Was Sikhi Made?

Sikhism was formed by its founder as a move away from what was the Islamic tyranny, presently replaced by American tyranny, and Hindu idolatry worship and ritualism of false ‘’God’’ instead of concentrating focus upon the spiritual path towards autonomy. Hinduism addressed its prayers to any deity deigning to confer blessing and became too steeped in division caused by the many secular paths created by the many idols and icons of the religion.

Sikhism is a reasoned philosophy and spiritual guide towards strengthening the mind, will and body toward social cohesion and self sufficiency whilst coexisting in harmony with all. It establishes an order and gives due regard to all placed as fate has decreed in the social stratum, according all due respect in their societal contribution and role in the functioning of society and the family.

Indeed all religions when adhered to correctly will enable the adherent to gain understanding of the world through self awareness. Sikhism is a perfect philosophy. Religion and life are liable to make men into minsters when veering away from its wisdom, toward blinkered and hate fuelled contrition.

Saint Soldier ji,

Guru Fateh.

Let us try to have a positive interaction where all of us can learn from each other. Diving in a shallow pool is like looking for self inflicting pains and sufferings and it may also become fatal.

I read your another post under the thread Obama where you were a bit incoherant which made me concerned about your health.

We, the cyber Sadh Sangat are all together to breed goodness in each other so that we can elevate ourselves as better people

This is the only way we can be true to Sikhi which btw is a way of life not a dogmatic religion.

So if you like, you can start a new thread about your inner gripes so all of us can pitch in and help each other.

Tejwant Singh

Re: If All Paths Are Equal Then Why Was Sikhi Made?

I read much about the Sikh religion comparing what I read in the Guru Granth Sahib with the Christian Bible. I found it interesting that much of the thought expressed was similar to what Jesus taught. If I wasn't convinced that I need to be saved from sin through the incarnation and atonement of Jesus Christ, and I knew about the Sikh religion, I would possibly join.

This is exactly right -- No one is asked to shut up.

We are asked only to abide by simple courtesy of allowing others to express a point of view without having the belief that stands behind their words dismissed, as if it is not important or is somehow deluded.

Worse than criticism is to read your religious faith or values being blown away, or neutralized by saying that the religion is not as important as you think. Or that it is just like another religion and you are just deluding yourself if you disagree. Modern philosophers refer to this sort of argument as placing a concept under erasure -- in this instance, you feel that your religious values vanish through the process of argument itself. With it vanishes its meaning in your life -- which as you read is put under erasure using the sword of pen, keyboard, through the words of another person, who seems offended by "differences." Guru Nanak saw the things that were the same; he also saw the things that were different between and among religions. He was not fearful of differences, but instead intellectually curious and willing to talk about those differences. And he spoke without animosity, and also without apology.

It is not easy to follow his example.
