why do we need identity?
is it not ego? |
is following Guru sahib acting in ego? 
not according to my limited understanding of sikhi... perhaps you can explain it better? do we ignore all of Guru sahib's teachings, assuming all of it is "ego"? or do we pick and choose which to follow? and how do we choose? by listening to you? |

a valid question jasleen ji
we are no one to pick and choose.
Akal ordains and picks and chooses.
the whole Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is replete with examples of that.
remember i asked another question about human will in another thred.
"human will" will always get subjugated by Akal's will.
no where i am saying that we ignore Guruji's teachings.
my point is that "identity" as discussed breeds one of the root vices - ego
to me, my "identity" today is - nothing
i am ignorant of it. So to me, it is Nothing.
once i get the realization of self and Akal, i will get the "true identity"
and to the point of my explaining.... i donot think i can, this has to come through realization. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20360
though i will keep asking questions   |

Just a thought.
"subjugation" may not be exactly the right word. I say this because Akaal has never seemed a stern character. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=20360
More like lovingly realizing that one is in the end powerless and that God has taken care of everything.
He is merciful to the week...ooops! to the weak. |

aad0002 ji
amardeep ji is talking about physical identity. It has nothing to do with the SPIRITUAL aspect. Generally with beard and turban one is considered a Sikh, it could not be a fact at all. Point here was about a person who was like a Sikh for a long time and suddenly is taking U turn. Such comments are inevitable |

U turn. That is a funny way of putting it. You are making me laugh. Show me a thread without a U turn. Maybe there are a few. Anyway, Waheguru, Akaal, in all of His names, is Merciful. |
