[QUOTE="vsgrewal48895, post: 108829, member: 8024"] Dear All, IMHO all the persons at Akal Takhat are in spiritual ignorance, which is the shore less ocean of darkness, with no light at the end of the tunnel. The belief in the philosopher’s stone, the jewel in the serpent’s head, alchemy, and miracles is all a matter of ignorance. Those engaged in the worship of idols, symbols, materialism, gods, goddesses, in fasting, uttering blessings and curses, are all living in spiritual ignorance. By reciting Sabd Guru’s hymns without understanding, even a good person cannot find acceptance by Akal Purkh. Without reflecting on the message of the AGGS or applying them in life, no wandering mind can find stability. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, or a willful lack of desire to improve the efficiency, merit, effectiveness or usefulness of one's actions. Ignorance is also a "state of being ignorant" or remaining unaware or uninformed. Spiritual ignorance is a very serious matter. It is said that "What you don't know won't hurt you". We all know that is incorrect and yet it seems that many people have adopted that philosophy toward spiritual matters. Many people are destroyed for lack of spiritual knowledge. Spiritual ignorance is not merely the lack of knowledge, but also the self-destructive turning away from the truth in all areas of life. To be ignorant of one's ignorance is a further malady of the ignorant. Due to spiritual ignorance the practice of any faith is quite inconsistent with the tenets of that faith. ਅਸੰਖ ਮੂਰਖ ਅੰਧ ਘੋਰ ॥ [I]Asankh Moorkh Andh Ghor.[/I] Countless fools are blinded by ignorance.-----Japji, AGGS, Page, 4-3 Despite the admonition in some faiths that ignorance is bliss, Sikhism is particularly adamant that ignorance does more harm than good. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? ਗਿਆਨ ਹੀਣੰ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਪੂਜਾ॥ ਔਧ ਵਰਤਾਵਾ ਭਾਉ ਦੂਜਾ ॥ [I]Giaan HeeNan Agiaan Poojaa, Andh Vartaavaa Bhaou Doojaa.[/I] Without spiritual wisdom, people worship ignorance. They grope in the dark, in the love of duality.-----Guru Nanak, Sloke Vaaran To Vadheek, AGGS, Page, 1412-4 Please read the complete article in archives of the SPN forum. Cordially, Virinder S.
