[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 120154, member: 138"] [FONT=Verdana]Arshi ji, Guru Fateh. We missed your absence here. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]You write: [/FONT]I am sorry to say that you are totally incorrect in your above conclusion how reasonable you may think it is and Narayanjot ji is right. I have been writing about the naughty misdeeds of the Akal Takhat Jathedars, SGPC and the Political involvements by the Politicos of Punjab in the Sikhi affairs long before you started posting your insightful essays here. In fact, some years ago I wrote how this SRM needs to be changed and the little article can be found in this forum. [FONT=Verdana][/FONT] We as Sikhs, learners, seekers are in the same boat and naivete is part of being a student, then only one can learn what one does not know. So, you are not alone. Well, I look at this in a different way. The ONE who is Nirbhau, Nirvair can not be judgmental. Judgments mean punishment or rewards, guilty or innocent. There is no grey area, no room left for improvement when one has done something wrong. Many religions including the 3 Semitic ones are based on the above concept. All religions that proclaim Hell, Heaven and also claim the certainty of which reincarnation the person is going to come in his/her next birth believe in God to be just, hence judgmental. Ik Ong Kaar is the instiller of goodness, motivator, who picks us up when we are fallen rather than kicking us while down, hugs us when we make a mistake or two and encourages us to do it better the next time, rather than smacking us. In other words, HE is the true Father. Gurbani is full of verses stating all this and much more than what I have mentioned here. No one should feel any guilt or shame expressing one's opinion and it is a very good thing but one should explain what kind of restraint can the powerful and the powerless use? Who has the restraining power? [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]I totally agree with you and thanks for proving my point which I have often mentioned in my posts about the people in power who have been abusing it. I would like to know if you wrote any essay or discussed, shared your opinion in any forum when you discovered that one of the Jathedars in power is a bigamist. What is your opinion about bigamy in Sikhi especially by the ones who hold the power. If you have, please share that with us. Have you given your opinion or shared your thoughts about any Hukumnaamas and ex-communications which in your Gurmat thinking were unjustified and offered any kind of solutions? If you have, please share with us because your insights are very important and carry a lot of weight from which others like myself have learnt a lot. [FONT=Verdana][/FONT] As I mentioned above, naivete can not be an accusation but part and parcel of being a Sikh, a student, a learner, a seeker. We are all naive in that aspect and thanks to the SGGS, our only Guru we are not ashamed of claiming that because we know we have the tools in our hands. [FONT=Verdana] Once again, I agree with you. And this forum is the best place just to express that. Disagreements are also part and parcel of Sikhi and a very important learning process which should also be respected for the sake of learning which is the requirement of a Sikh, a student.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana] Arshi ji, I am also one of the members of this forum like yourself, not any part of the administration. The administration of this forum is the most accepting which in my opinion is based on Sikhi ideals than any other Sikhi forum on the internet. This administration does not need any defence from me but its daily actions speak for themselves. I do not think you have been given any warning by them by saying anything that is against the terms of this forum. The case in point is in many discussions going on now by the member [/FONT]kee_jaana_mein_kaun who has been warned many times about his posts but he has not been banned. Ausdesi, who is a Hindu, his posts are also taken in stride no matter if some disagree with him. So, I am a bit puzzled with your inference about this fair and balanced administration: "although I am aware my approach may not go too well with the administrators – but I am not seeking approval or popular vote. " [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]Arshi ji, Can you please elaborate the above in more layman's terms? What do you mean by "good reason will prevail "? Were there any good reasons for the many Hukumnaamas and ex-communications issued in the past and how were they resolved in a reasonable manner or were they? Or these actions were radical and just one sided? Please name the people who were issued the above and the resolutions which were helped by reason and restraint. Also, please elaborate the above. Moderation and restraint by whom? Only the ones in power can do that. The powerless have no voice, no power. The past Hukumnaamas and ex-communications are the living proofs. The fact is that Lamba sent the doctored tape to Akal Takhat. Where was the reason and restraint from the honchos of the Takhat to check its varacity and when they were offered the full dvd, they refused to accept it as evidence? Lamba even wrote the Hukumnaama on a fake letterhead to call Prof. Sahib to the Akal Takhat the first time on his own. Do you think this was the right and the truthful way to do things? My last point which is taken from your response to Lee ji. It is the responsibility of those who are in power and have invited the "culprit" to their " throne" to make sure that there is enough security that no bloodshed occurs because Sikhi demands transparency. Lastly, I apologise if my comments hurt you in any way or form by making you conclude that they were directed to you, which they were not. I enjoy your insightful essays and learn a lot from them and waiting for you to post some more. Thanks & regards. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
