I have a very wonderful husband and he has taught me so much about love. He is always kind to me, accepting of me, understanding, attentive, and has never put his own needs before mine. I am humbled by him and I've learned a few things about getting closer to God from him. It's nearly impossible to resist loving someone who loves you the way my husband loves me. So it is with God -- how could I not love such a Guru? When I turn my mind in to Him and lose myself in that love there is nothing but Him. There is no time or place or me or Him or the World of This & That... there is just this matchless, all pervading, inexplicable... well I can't explain it because it's inexplicable. All I know is that every time it happens I want it to last forever. And I live in a constant state of desire from one of these moments until the next.
Oh, and JMHO means "just my humble opinion."

My next question is - What's wrong in accepting Dalits into the fold of Sikhism ? Why won't the Sikh authorities in Punjab (Akaal Takht) made this decision ?

Belittling the Caste-System A Gateway to Sikhism | Guru Stories:Belittling the Caste-System*-*A Gateway to Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev disparagingly condemned caste-prejudices. To do away with this social malady he set an example. He visited Bhai Lalo an 'out-caste', and both had their meals together, giving a shocking surprise to the village-folk. Moreover, Mardana, the life-long companion of Guru Sahib was minstrel, coming from 'low-caste'.

See namjap a Sikh will never try to convert someone of one religion to another. One of the Sikhs missions is to teach humanity about Sikhism and if by these teachings that person chooses to accept Sikhism that is great. People ask for links for source of proof but one of the greatest links we have is our mind and the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Your answer does not reflect your above-mentioned quote. Are you contradicting yourself ?

namjap How am I contradicting myself? I simply asked you a question without out taking a side on the issue. Then I told you a Sikh will never convert someone of one religion to another. So please explain to me where I contradicted myself in these two comments

The greatest link we have is our mind and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Please elaborate why we are given a mind. If we are not the mind, then who are we ?
